RFIC System Engineer
About The Position
Apple’s Wireless SoC Radio Team architects, designs, and delivers state-of-the-art CMOS radios, from RF-to-bits. The team develops a wide range of RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks, including integrated PAs and LNAs, data converters, mixers, baseband filters, phase-locked loops, crystal oscillators, wideband LDOs, and bandgap references. The RFIC System Engineer works within Apple’s wireless SoC design group to research, design, and bring next-generation wireless technologies into high-volume production using advanced CMOS technology nodes. The role contributes to developing Apple’s radios for products used at large scale.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree.
- At least 10 years of relevant industry experience in RF/analog and mixed-signal design in RF CMOS.
- Experience with MATLAB, Python, SystemVue, or other system-level modeling.
Nice To Haves
- Experience modeling RF/analog circuits using MATLAB, Verilog-A, or Python and writing block-level specifications based on the modeling.
- Direct tape-out experience with one or more RF or analog blocks, such as RF front-end circuits, PA, LNA, mixer, oscillator, PLL, LO, VGA, filter, ADC/DAC, TIA, or other baseband analog blocks in deep sub-micron CMOS technology.
- Deep understanding of RF transceiver architectures and their trade-offs.
- Deep understanding of analog design concepts, including noise, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
- Deep understanding of CMOS device physics, RF device modeling, device noise parameters, inductor modeling, and circuit layout for optimum RF performance.
- Familiarity with Bluetooth, WiFi, and Ultra-Wideband standards.
- Experience in silicon characterization and debug.
Responsibilities
- Research, design, and help bring next-generation wireless technologies into high-volume production.
- Contribute to the development of Apple’s state-of-the-art radios in advanced CMOS technology nodes.
