Do you have a passion for taking on big challenges? Do you love pushing the limits of what’s considered feasible? As part of our Wireless Hardware group, you’ll be responsible for bringing groundbreaking wireless connectivity to the world. Together, our goal is to ensure nothing stands in the way of our customers’ connections with their devices. Join us and help build world-renowned wireless systems that connect customers to their world like never before.
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience. Strong knowledge of wireless communication systems, with emphasis on WiFi; cellular technologies experience is a plus. Strong programming skills in Python, Shell scripting, and/or C/C++/C# for test automation.
Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering; Master's or Ph.D. preferred. Deep understanding of key performance indicators and impairments in RF and baseband domains. Hands-on experience testing wireless silicon in laboratory environments. Proficiency with RF test equipment including signal analyzers, signal generators, and spectrum analyzers. Proven experience developing test automation, including equipment drivers, debug tools, automation scripts and interfaces. Experience with automation infrastructure development (traceability, repeatability) and related tools (Git, CI/CD, databases, reporting tools).
Join our Wireless Systems Design Validation Team, where we ensure cutting-edge wireless and PHY systems meet rigorous performance standards across critical parameters, including Power Accuracy, Spurs, EVM, Sensitivity, Desense, RF/Baseband Performance, MIMO, and Coexistence. Operating at the heart of silicon development, we drive test automation and validation methodologies that accelerate product development while maintaining exceptional quality. This role offers the opportunity to create test infrastructure and automation solutions that directly impact the success of next-generation wireless technologies.
You will develop sophisticated automation frameworks and test infrastructure for validating wireless and PHY systems across RF and baseband domains, enabling comprehensive validation and regression testing throughout the silicon development lifecycle. Working closely with PHY, MAC, and RF design engineers, you'll translate specifications into automated test strategies, identify validation gaps, and drive resolution of complex system issues. Your role includes creating equipment drivers, control interfaces, and intelligent test sequences, while analyzing results to provide actionable insights and continuously improving test methodologies to meet the demanding requirements of next-generation wireless systems.
Apple designs and sells consumer electronics, from iPhone smartphones and Mac computers to tablets and wearable devices. Its operating systems manage apps and built-in functions for communication and work, while iCloud stores files and synchronizes data across devices. Customers buy additional digital services through subscriptions such as Apple Music and Apple TV, and developers distribute software through the App Store. Apple earns money from hardware sales, subscriptions and digital transactions, selling directly to customers and through retailers and mobile carriers around the world. It was founded in 1976 and has its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
