Baseband Hardware Design Engineer
About The Position
Join Apple’s Hardware Technology group on a team responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, and integration of baseband systems for Apple products. This electrical engineering role focuses on the digital and power management domains of Apple wireless chipsets, from concept through product announcement. You will collaborate across functions, including with Apple SoC, battery, sensors, and iOS teams, and maintain an understanding of the broader product landscape. During architecture, you will work with architects and IC designers on power, digital, and clock management for next-generation chipsets. During development, you will drive schematics, layout, and bring-up for development and form-factor hardware, and debug hardware, software, and coexistence issues. You will also work with contract manufacturers on factory prototype support. The position may require international travel when approved.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree.
- 10 or more years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong electrical engineering fundamentals.
- Experience with schematic capture, layout design and review, and component placement.
- Experience in hardware system bring-up.
- Experience in system integration.
- Experience in signal integrity and power integrity simulation, using tools such as PowerSI, SIwave, HFSS, or ADS.
- Experience with mobile platform system design, system integration, and/or high-volume consumer electronics design.
- Experience with voltage regulators, LDOs, switch-mode power supplies, power inductors, and capacitors.
