DSP Wireless Systems Engineer
At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a forward-thinking and unusually hardworking Wireless System Engineer. As a member of our dynamic group, you will have the rare and extraordinary opportunity to craft upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers every single day. For wireless system, power amplifiers (PA) in the transmitter are the main source of power consumption. To improve efficiency, PA must be designed beyond the classic class-AB, together with enhancement using envelope tracing, or envelope elimination and restoration (EER, or polar transmitter). Those designs come with impairments or nonlinear distortion that need to be clean up using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. RF/analog architectures with the help of DSP, their optimizations and calibrations are the critical technique to achieve such high performing systems. In this technical role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group responsible for using digital algorithm or method to improve the PA efficiency, reducing power consumption, but with acceptable linearity for high data rate applications. You will mainly work on architecting various calibration and correction methods for implementation in hardware/firmware and validation of overall performance enhancement through lab measurement. You will interact with RF/analog designers, software or firmware engineers, digital designers, product engineers and architects to define and specify parts in the wireless systems. You will also get to work with digital designers and firmware designers to realize these methods with power and area efficient digital implementations with high efficiency software implementations, and possibly with hardware acceleration. And to bring up, test, characterize, and optimize real silicon in lab to the production qualities.
