About this role

Cellular RF Systems Architect Waltham, United States of America At Apple, our work is dedicated to creating products that connect and enrich people's lives. The Cellular RF Systems Engineering team sits at the very core of that mission, defining the wireless technologies that enable seamless experiences for hundreds of millions of users worldwide. We are looking for a motivated and dedicated engineer to join our team and contribute to our Cellular architectures. In this role, you will be at the center of RF innovation, helping to drive the evolution of our RF architecture by optimizing current systems, defining next-generation transceiver and front-end solutions, setting critical system requirements, and developing high-performance control algorithms. As part of our industry-leading team, you will contribute to the architecture of the transceiver and front-end. You will work closely with base-band architecture teams, transmitter and receiver architecture teams, software engineering, RF design and verification teams to define and implement concepts towards our future products. Analyze line-up and optimize signal path partitioning between the RF transceiver and RF Front End to maximize performance and efficiency. Explore new RF Front End technologies (LNA, PA, filters, etc.) and their interworking aspects with the RF transceiver. Collaborate with Front End, Receive and Transmit teams on micro-architecture. Analyze complex system use cases, such as SRS antenna switching and UL switching. Develop and specify control and mapping algorithms for optimum interaction between transceiver and RF Front End. Develop optimization algorithms for best RF performance and optimum hardware utilization in multi-SIM use cases.
