Apple Wireless Systems Engineer Cross-Layer Design 
United States, California, Sunnyvale 
391836284

06.05.2025
In this technical role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group responsible for system design of pioneering wireless SoC’s for very high data rate applications. You will focus on finding innovative solutions to challenging PHY/MAC Cross Layer problems with the goal of achieving robust system performance in dynamically changing and congested radio environments. This will include proposing, simulating, supporting SW/HW implementation, bringing up in the lab, and optimizing advanced algorithms addressing areas such as rate adaptation, interference management and coexistence.You will work closely with SW engineers, HW digital designers, architects, and Product teams to achieve these goals. Good interpersonal skills will be essential to understand domain requirements and constraints - and converge to a final solution that achieves performance, cost, power, and other requirements.
In this role, core responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following: Discuss with product teams and come up with novel algorithms and procedures to satisfy the requirements of emerging applications in real life conditions with congested radio environmentsPerform simulations to prove the efficiency of the designed algorithms, and validate them on emulation platformsWork closely with SW engineers, HW digital designers, Product teams and architects to understand domain requirements and constraints, and align on the best solutionBring up, test and characterize the crafted algorithms on real silicon in lab, evaluate and assure interoperability performance with other APs and STAsCome up with enhanced solutions based on the behavior and performance analysis of real silicon systems in practical setups or environments
