Descrizione del lavoro

Apple Inc. in San Diego is seeking a WSoC PHY/MAC Validation and Integration Engineer to oversee integration and optimization of PHY components in wireless systems.

You will perform chip-level bring-up and DSP implementation, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure performance, compliance, and reliability of wireless connectivity solutions. The role emphasizes DSP optimization, FPGA/chip bring-up, and testing across PHY/RF/MAC interfaces.

Competenze

• BS degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.

Mansioni

• Design, integrate and validate PHY layer components for wireless communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, etc.).
• Implement and optimize DSP algorithms for signal modulation, demodulation, filtering, and error correction to enhance wireless performance.
• Conduct FPGA and chip-level bring-up, including power-on testing, debug, and validation of PHY interfaces, PHY/RF/MAC functionalities and performance.
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues at the chip level, identifying root causes and implementing solutions.
• Design, execute and automate directed PHY/MAC testing scripts, which control and setup RF test equipment and RF chips.
• Validate and characterize algorithms on real silicon alongside RTL, PHY, RF, MAC, and board designers.
• Bring-up and take to production state-of-the-art physical layer wireless communication system algorithms for different wireless connectivity applications.
