RF System Integration Engineer (Instrument Engineering)

Join our Wireless team and build the technology that makes every Apple radio possible. Were looking for engineers with strong fundamentals in RF communication software and signal processing to join the growing Instrument Engineering team at Apple. nnThis small team of extraordinary engineers designs and produces precision RF and analog test equipment used to calibrate and validate cellular (5G/4G and legacy) Wi-Fi Bluetooth mmWave UWB and NFC radios across millions of iPhone iPad Mac and Apple Watch units. nnYoull collaborate closely with RF software and signal processing engineers and work directly with the internal customers who rely on this equipment to take internal products from concept to mass production each one built to Apples exacting standards. If you love chasing an elusive RF problem down to root cause and then writing the automation that makes sure it never comes back this is your team.

This is a hands-on RF role that blends bench debugging RF applications support customer engagement and test automation. Youll characterize and troubleshoot RF measurement systems on the bench develop and maintain automated test and calibration software and partner across hardware software and customer teams to keep our test equipment accurate and reliable at production scale. Youll work across the RF bench test-automation software and direct collaboration with internal customers.

Debug RF and analog measurement problems on the bench isolating root cause across hardware firmware and maintain and extend automated test and calibration software for RF RF systems and instruments using signal generators signal/spectrum analyzers vector network analyzers and power RF applications and bring-up partnering with hardware and software engineers from prototype through mass directly with internal customers to understand test requirements deploy solutions and provide hands-on RF applications RF measurement data and present clear actionable findings to technical and cross-functional test coverage repeatability and throughput by automating manual workflows and integrating them into CI/ to calibration methods and procedures that keep test equipment accurate and traceable.

BS in Electrical Engineering Physics or a related field; MS preferred.n34 years of hands-on experience in RF wireless or test/measurement RF fundamentals and demonstrated ability to debug RF problems on the bench using standard RF test equipment (signal generators analyzers VNAs power sensors).nProven experience developing automated test software in Python and/or C from the ground communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work directly with customers and present technical findings to engineering and cross-functional to travel internationally up to 15%.

Experience with RF system calibration methods procedures and experience analyzing RF parameters in Python or MATLAB (power return loss S-parameters EVM ACLR IQ mismatch statistics).nWorking knowledge of DSP and communications with cellular (5G/4G) Wi-Fi Bluetooth mmWave UWB or NFC radio test and with RF test equipment vendors (Keysight Rohde u0026 Schwarz NI LitePoint Anritsu).nCI/CD experience and a track record of integrating automated tests into a -on experience using AI assistants and agentic coding workflows to design write and debug production-level engineering applying AI/ML techniques to RF data analysis modeling or anomaly detection.
