SummaryPosted: Nov 7, 2024Role Number:200577702Join our wireless organization and drive innovation that matters! We’re looking for engineers with good fundamentals in RF, Antenna Design/Test, System Integration, wireless communications, signal processing to join our System RF team based in Shanghai. These teams of world-class engineers help architect and design the best wireless products at Apple. All members of the team bring their own unique expertise to collectively take wireless technologies to product implementation stages following the principles and practices of excellence that characterize Apple culture.
 At Apple, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver best in class performance for our wireless products. As a member of the System RF team, you will be at the forefront of wireless technology, as we push the boundaries of achievable performance in wireless for brand-new products. You will become part of a hands-on product development team that shape and influence current and future generations of Apple products. We’re looking for hard-working and motivated engineers with good fundamentals in one or more areas of RF/wireless and electromagnetic theory, antenna design, system integration, & wireless communications.DescriptionDescriptionCandidate should have a broad-based knowledge in aspects RF architecture, design, integration and manufacturing. They have deep theoretical and practical knowledge in one or more areas of electromagnetic theory, RF and Wireless circuit design, communication theory, and product design trade-off. They use electromagnetic and system simulation, hands on prototyping, test and measurement to understand sophisticated system and sub-system interactions, implications to product level design, and manufacturing trade-offs to enable mass production. Candidate is able to apply their expertise in all aspects of product design from concept, architecture definition, integration and prototyping to final production. They work closely with wireless and software architects, industrial designers, and product designers to guide and sculpt the product design with an eye towards optimizing RF functionality for the user. Candidate is to work in manufacturing facilities to support builds from prototype phase to mass production. Travel to factory will be required but shouldn’t exceed 20% of the job. International trip to Cupertino and or Madrid will be encouraged and should be ~2 to 3 times per year to connect with the broader cross functional teams.Minimum QualificationsMinimum QualificationsBSEE or Equivalent educational background.Knowledge of integration of wireless technologies such as cellular, GPS, Wifi, and NFC into products.Knowledge of basic RF fundamentals and proven understanding of wireless systemsExcellent interpersonal and communication skillsDetailed oriented and can present message to teams clearlyBuild and develop study methodologies for wireless performance evaluation.
