WiFi FW Engineer

Описание

At Apple, new ways of thinking and insights can turn into extraordinary products very quickly. As a firmware engineer in the Wireless Connectivity Silicon Team, you will be responsible for the design, development, and bringup of innovative wireless silicon for various Apple’s products.

Responsibilities

• Deep understanding of components/modules within wireless communication systems and the corresponding calibration and impairment reduction techniques
• Develop methods/algorithms to alleviate hardware induced impairments by calibration, cancellation and other applicable techniques
• PHY firmware architecture and design, including calibrations, real-time processing flows, collaboration with RF hardware, microcode, and MAC layer
• Develop highly efficient designs delivering outstanding performance, optimizing power and memory footprints while meeting hard-realtime latency requirements
• Debug real-time systems with limited visibility, working hands-on with development boards and lab equipment
• Collaborate with Radio, MAC, and Systems engineering teams to architect, define and implement innovative algorithms, calibrations, and protocols
• Support pre-silicon validation efforts, including simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping
• Develop SoC test and calibration capabilities for chip, module, and product factories
• Support post-silicon bringup, validation, performance characterization, system integration and debugging
• Repeatedly measure and optimize results using various test harnesses
• Automate calibration and verification processes

Requirements

• B.Sc. with 3 plus years of industry experience
• Hands-on experience and working knowledge of wireless systems and protocols such as LTE/NR/WiFi/Bluetooth
• Excellent problem-solving skills to address technical issues during design, development and maintenance phases
• Strong embedded SW fundamentals, including knowledge of design and development-flows, real-time constraints, concurrency, multi-processor systems, caching and virtual memory
• Deep understanding of data structures, object-oriented design, and system architecture in an embedded environment
• Strong software engineering skills including design, development (using C, C++), scripting (Python), and debugging
• Familiarity with low-level hardware interfaces, register and interrupt programming, bare-metal software development, clock and power management
• Experience with configuration (GIT, Perforce) and release management, continuous integration, unit and regression testing
• Strong understanding of design strategies for maintainability, scalability, and code reuse
• Excellent communication skills, both written and oral
• Highly organized, motivated and passionate about driving results

We offer

• Apple believes accessibility is a fundamental human right, reflected in culture, benefits and digital tools
