Wireless Control Systems Engineer

At Apple new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products services and customer experiences fast. Bring passion and dedication to your job and theres no telling what you could accomplish. Dynamic sensible people and inspiring innovative technologies are the norm here. Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple looking for a Wireless Control Systems Engineer to join our cellular systems engineering team as we define and build the next generation of cellular technology. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of wireless communication at a company that ships at global scale as we transition towards 6G. In this role youll bring an end-to-end view of wireless systems spanning 3GPP standards algorithm design hardware architecture timing requirement interfaces message flows to deliver leading-edge performance and power optimizations that directly improve the user experience across Apple products. If you thrive at the intersection of deep technical theory and hands-on bring-up and youre excited about pushing beyond 5G into the 6G era we want to hear from you.

As a Wireless Control Systems Engineer you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of cellular modem systems from feature design through silicon bring-up and productization for 6G/5G and 4G 3GPP features and proprietary enhancements to improve user experience. Collaborate cross-functionally with SoC PHY PHY HW PHY FW and L1 SW teams to ensure end-to-end system requirements are met across the full stack.

Define u0026 architect system-level features and requirements for next-generation cellular modems with a focus on 6G evolution and advanced PHY/L1 the E2E system view connect 3GPP standard requirements algorithm design trade-offs HW/FW architecture constraints and product-level targets into cohesive leading-edge control Control algorithms (Traditional or AI/ML based) for the physical layer across layers and L1/RF control to optimize performance/ interfaces and Message flows for wireless features across u0026 simulate algorithms in floating-point and fixed-point using MATLAB C/C and/or Python and validate through link-level simulation or correlating with data collected from field and real for user experience by driving performance and power efficiency improvements across the wireless stack translating system-level insights into tangible gains in throughput latency battery life and connectivity reliability based on real world deployments. Use the available information from deployments and statistics from field to fine tune the performance.
