About The Position
Would you like to join Apple’s growing Wireless Connectivity Silicon team? Our wireless System on a Chip (SoC) organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development with a particular emphasis on highly energy efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group with a critical impact on getting functional wireless products to hundreds of millions of customers! Responsible for crafting and implementing embedded firmware for SoC bring up and wireless connectivity enablement. You will work closely with product software and manufacturing teams to enable RF and PHY calibrations, algorithms and testing to enable productization of the silicon / system. DESCRIPTION As an Embedded FW Engineer, the individual will be a core member of a Wireless SoC firmware team, with emphasis on radio and PHY bring up, RF calibrations, signal processing algorithm implementation and performance tuning.
Requirements
- Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree.
Nice To Haves
- Strong background in embedded FW development using C and assembly languages, familiarity with ARM CPUs and its internals.
- Good understanding of embedded wireless communication systems, Radio and PHY fundamentals and key RF performance metrics.
- Familiarity with digital signal processing algorithms.
- Experience with low-level hardware interfaces, register and interrupt programming, bare-metal software development, clock and power management.
