Cellular RF Receiver Systems Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Cellular RF Receiver Systems Engineer
• Focus: Architecting and optimizing cellular RF receiver architectures (5G NR and toward 6G)

Description

Develop and optimize cellular RF receiver architectures for Apple products, driving evolution from antenna through the digital baseband interface. Translate system requirements into block-level receiver specifications and collaborate with RFIC design, antenna, platform architecture, and software engineering teams to deliver uncompromising performance and quality.

Responsibilities

• Architect, analyze, and optimize receiver line-ups from the antenna to the digital baseband interface.
• Perform detailed RF line-up analysis, identify RF performance impairment dependencies and crosstalk risks, and develop mitigation techniques.
• Translate system requirements into block-level specifications for receiver blocks (noise figure, gain, linearity, phase noise, IQ imbalance, etc.).
• Define requirements for interference suppression performance, drive validation objectives, and implement interference mitigation strategies.
• Partner with other teams to deliver receiver enhancements through concept-to-product: integration, validation, and optimization for mass production.

Requirements

• BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in Radio Receiver design.
• System Engineering experience designing complex communication RF systems (Cellular, WiFi), with deep expertise in receiver architectures for sub-6 GHz and mmW frequencies.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for RF system modeling and simulations.
• Proficiency using AI for coding, model generation, and data analysis.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to communicate complex technical concepts to diverse cross-functional teams.
• Experience with lab bring-up, system calibration, and debugging RF hardware.
