Wireless Systems Engineer, Ranging and Sensing

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people's lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? As a member of our Wireless Silicon Design group, you will have the outstanding and extraordinary opportunity to build upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple's customers every single day! \\n\\nIn this technical role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group responsible for system design of groundbreaking wireless SoCs for high-data-rate applications. You will focus on innovative solutions for ranging and sensing technologies at the PHY layer. You will closely with software, hardware, and RF/analog engineers, system architectures, and product teams to develop a solution that meets stringent requirements. In this role, you will be working on next-generation and proprietary ranging and sensing technologies at the PHY layer. This involves collaborating closely with multiple cross-functional teams, including the radio and analog teams, PHY/MAC systems teams, firmware teams, and product teams, to determine the requirements, develop and implement ranging and sensing designs, validate pre-silicon platforms, bring up post-silicon devices, and optimize performance and reliability. Ultimately, your goal is to deliver a solution that achieves the target requirements and satisfies user-level expectations. Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree\n Understanding of communication theory, information theory, or signal processing.\nKnowledge of ranging and sensing protocols, such as IEEE 802.11az, IEEE 802.11bf, IEEE 802.11bk, IEEE 802.15.4z, IEEE 802.15.4ab.\nExperience designing PHY algorithms for wireless communication systems.\nExperience developing ranging and sensing algorithms.\nExperience implementing and simulating system models in MATLAB, Python, or C/C++.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills. MSEE or Ph.D. preferred, with relevant experience on communication systems or signal processing.\nStrong analytical skills to develop best-in-class designs in terms of performance, power, and area.\nExperience testing ranging and sensing designs in real-world environments.\nExperience with multi-resolution algorithms that are used to estimate the first path of arrival for ranging.\nExperience developing algorithms that lead to hardware- and firmware-friendly designs.\nHands-on experience with testing, characterization, and bring-up of silicon in the lab.\nExperience with lab equipment, such as spectrum analyzer, signal generator.
