TL;DR · RF Hardware Engineer - Multi-Radio Coexistence

As a Senior RF Hardware Engineer in Apple’s dynamic RF Systems Engineering team, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal multi-radio coexistence performance across various wireless technologies such as Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and UWB. Your responsibilities include conducting hands-on hardware experiments to assess platform-level performance, performing failure analysis, proposing design changes, reviewing PCB layouts, and executing validation test plans. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including RF Test Engineers to develop test procedures and mock-ups for coexistence validation, while also providing system-level requirements to chipset teams and optimizing coexistence techniques. The ideal candidate possesses extensive experience in RF hardware and lab equipment usage, along with a strong background in wireless architectures and standard methodologies for electromagnetic interference mitigation. This role demands expertise in assessing multi-radio coexistence issues and ensuring compliance with design constraints across Apple’s expansive product line.

What you'll do

  • Assess and debug multi-radio coexistence issues through hardware experiments and failure analysis.
  • Review and approve PCB layouts, flex designs, grounding, and shielding to ensure compliance with standards.
  • Define and execute test plans for validation and characterization of multi-radio performance.
  • Track validation status, analyze results, and communicate data-driven insights to stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with RF Test Engineers to develop test procedures and experimental setups for coexistence validation.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with over 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Expertise in RF components and lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes.
  • Knowledge of wireless architectures including front-end design, antenna sharing, and link budget analysis.
  • Experience assessing and debugging multi-radio coexistence issues through hands-on hardware experiments and failure analysis.
  • Ability to review and sign off on PCB layouts, flex layouts, system grounding, and shielding designs for multi-radio compatibility.
  • Collaborative skills to work with cross-functional teams including RF Test Engineers in developing test procedures and mock-ups.
