TL;DR · Baseband Hardware Design Engineer

The Baseband Hardware Design Engineer joins the Hardware Technology group to manage the digital and power management domains of wireless chipsets from concept through product announcement. This role involves collaborating with architects and IC designers on next-generation chipset power, digital, and clock management while driving schematics, layout, and bring-up for development and form factor hardware. The engineer will debug complex hardware, software, and co-existence issues across the product landscape. Key technical requirements include expertise in electrical engineering fundamentals, schematic capture, and layout design. Preferred skills include experience with voltage regulators, LDOs, SMPS, and high-speed digital interfaces like PCIe, SPMI, I2C, and UART. Candidates should also possess bench-level verification skills using high-speed oscilloscopes and signal or power integrity simulation experience utilizing tools such as Matlab, PowerSI, SIwave, or HFSS to solve wireless design challenges.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement power, digital, and clock management for next-generation wireless chipsets.
  • Drive the schematic capture and layout design for development and form factor hardware.
  • Execute hardware bring-up and debug complex HW/SW/Co-existence issues at scale.
  • Manage the integration of baseband systems across various Apple product lines.
  • Provide technical support for factory prototypes in coordination with contract manufacturers.
  • Ensure high-speed and low-speed digital interfaces meet performance specifications.
  • Perform signal and power integrity simulations using industry-standard tools.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree required.
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience required.
  • Strong electrical engineering fundamentals required.
  • Experience with schematic capture, layout design, and review required.
  • Strong problem solving and analytical skills required.
  • Experience with mobile platform system design, integration, or high-volume consumer electronics (preferred).
  • Experience with voltage regulators, LDO, and switch mode power supplies (preferred).
  • Experience with digital interfaces, signal/power integrity simulation, or bench-level verification (preferred).
