As a Senior Cellular Layer-1 Control Software Development Engineer within the Wireless Technologies & Ecosystems team, you will design and implement PHY/Layer1 Control Software and firmware for state-of-the-art mobile wireless communication systems. You will be responsible for developing key scheduling and control processing under strict timeline, latency, and energy constraints while building pre-silicon emulation systems and virtual platforms for design verification. The role involves evaluating tools for build, formal verification, and testing to define new methodologies and standards. You will utilize C, C++, and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) to develop embedded software. Your work focuses on the cellular ecosystem, specifically addressing uplink procedures like RACH, Scheduling Request, SRS, and CSI. You will solve complex technical challenges in high-speed communication subsystems to improve connectivity for mobile products including iPhone, iPad, and Watch.
