About The Position

Join Apple’s Wireless Connectivity team developing Wi-Fi SoCs for Apple products. This role contributes to next-generation wireless technology from concept through production and helps ensure first-time-right silicon through sophisticated testbenches, comprehensive scenarios, and advanced verification methodologies.

As a Wireless Radio Verification Engineer, you will lead verification of radio digital controllers and Digital+RF subsystems. You will architect verification environments for radio control and transceiver paths involving PLLs, DAC/ADC data paths, power management, and coexistence mechanisms. Working across digital design and RF/mixed-signal-modeled systems, you will collaborate with Design, RF, PHY, Systems, and Integration teams and develop verification strategies for radio-modeled subsystems. The work supports robust wireless operation across diverse scenarios and environmental conditions throughout Apple’s product ecosystem.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree.
• At least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Demonstrated expertise verifying complex digital ASICs, with a track record of successful silicon tapeouts.
• Deep knowledge of ASIC verification flows using SystemVerilog and UVM, including testbench architecture, verification planning, and coverage-driven methodologies.
• Experience developing verification environments from scratch and bringing up complex designs in simulation.
• Experience with constrained-random testing, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification.

Nice To Haves

• Experience verifying radio digital controllers, DSPs, PLL control systems, or wireless transceiver subsystems.
• Exposure to RF/analog system designs such as LNAs, mixers, PLLs, amplifiers, LDOs, and DACs/ADCs.
• Experience with digital and mixed-signal co-simulation using SystemVerilog analog behavioral models, DMS, or similar real-number-modeling approaches.
• Exposure to Python or similar scripting for automation, analysis, or infrastructure.
• Technical leadership through example, including driving verification strategies, establishing best practices, and delivering complex projects.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional technical decisions.

Responsibilities
