RF Requirements and Standards Engineer

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products services and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and theres no telling what you could accomplish! Join us to help deliver RF system design for devices operating in next generation groundbreaking radio access networks. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet As a member of our dynamic group you will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to craft next generation wireless technology that will have deep impact on future Apple products and inspire millions of Apples customers every single day. Wireless technologies have become a crucial part of all Apple devices that delight our customers. Our team has the mission to research emerging spectrum trends and RF architecture evolution leading to next generation radio access networks and use cases.

In this role you will be at the innovative center of the RF system engineering and architecture group responsible for defining and managing RF requirements for Apples devices and use cases driving the 3GPP RF specifications in alignment with Apples strategy and collaborating on the exploration and development of RF requirements for 6G technologies.

Work closely with the RF Design Antenna Carrier and regulatory teams to develop RF requirements for 6G cellular technology featuresnBe responsible for RF requirements and features in Apples cellular platforms and productsnParticipate in 3GPP RAN4 and drive practical and product-driven innovation into the 3GPP standard

BSEE value your 10 years of relevant experience in RF including direct expertise in transmitter receiver architectures and system have in-depth knowledge of cellular radio standards (GSM UMTS LTE NR) regulatory requirements and carrier requirements including their implications on overall radio architectures and RF system bring experience in RF roadmap definition including ecosystem and 3GPP scoping towards RF requirements definition

We consider background in 3GPP RAN working group participation (particularly RAN4) and a desire to drive practical RF innovation into 3GPP RAN4 specifications a value your strong analytical and interpersonal skills with an ability to thrive in a multi-functional value your experience in simulation development and scripting as well as experience incorporating AI and ML tools into your daily engineering consider a deep understanding of digital communications theory and cellular network design principles to be important; understanding of antenna array theory would be a plus.
