TL;DR · Cellular RF Receiver Systems Architect

Apple’s RF System Engineering team is seeking a senior Cellular RF Receiver Systems Architect to lead the development of next-generation wireless technologies for future Apple products. This role involves architecting and implementing advanced RF receiver chains from antenna to digital baseband, collaborating with cross-functional teams to define detailed specifications and simulations using MATLAB and Python. You will drive innovation by conducting trade-off studies, developing compensation algorithms for analog impairments, and working closely with baseband system engineering on 5G and future 6G use cases. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in RF receiver design, a deep understanding of 3GPP standards, and proficiency in RF line-up analysis and system-level simulations.

What you'll do

  • Innovate and architect the complete RF Receiver chain from antenna to digital baseband.
  • Translate high-level system requirements into detailed component specifications for RF receiver.
  • Perform trade-off studies and ensure performance targets are met in RF receiver design.
  • Develop digital signal processing algorithms to compensate for analog impairments in receivers.
  • Author detailed system and block-level specifications for internal and external design partners.
  • Collaborate with baseband engineering on 5G and future 6G system use cases and physical layer procedures.

What we're looking for

  • Demonstrated experience in designing complex communication RF systems, including cellular and WiFi.
  • Mastery of RF lineup analysis and development of detailed level plans for modern receiver architecture.
  • Deep understanding of RF system performance metrics and impairments and their impact on overall system performance.
  • Proficiency in using MATLAB and Python for RF system modeling and simulations.
  • Experience with lab bring-up, system calibration, and debugging RF systems.
  • In-depth knowledge of 3GPP standards focusing on RF requirements and physical layer procedures for FR1 and FR2.
