About the position

The Cellular Systems Simulations Integration Engineer at Apple will play a pivotal role in the design and development of innovative cross-layer simulation model infrastructure and toolsets for cellular research and development. This position focuses on integrating physical layer (PHY) reference models into various simulation environments, contributing to the development of wireless System on Chip (SoC) products, and collaborating across teams to enhance product performance in complex radio and network conditions.

Responsibilities

• Integrate PHY reference models in various simulation environments used by systems engineering, hardware, firmware, and software development teams.
• Contribute to simulator configuration management and perform software releases.
• Work on simulation framework topics, including regression infrastructure development and test coverage analysis.
• Design and implement 4G/5G PHY models for pre-silicon simulation and verification.
• Perform verification of PHY models using third-party test tools and data from external network vendors.
• Contribute to link-level simulator modeling and meaningful metric testing.
• Design test cases for feature verification and drive feature bring-up and issue resolution.
• Collaborate across teams to define and document project requirements, including model architecture and interfaces.

Requirements

• Minimum requirement of BS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Expert knowledge in Python and C/C++ including the latest C++ standard evolution.
• Strong background in building systems, configuration, and release management.
• Good understanding of simulator frameworks for link- and system-level simulations.
• Solid knowledge of wireless communication systems with hands-on experience in 4G/5G PHY firmware design and pre-silicon verification.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in code optimization techniques and efficient code development.
• Experience with Matlab and understanding of baseband signal processing algorithms.
• Solid knowledge of current cellular communication standards: 5G (NR) and 4G (LTE).
• Experience in chip bring-up including the use of lab equipment.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and dental coverage
• Retirement benefits
• Discounted products and free services
• Reimbursement for certain educational expenses including tuition
• Discretionary bonuses or commission payments
• Relocation assistance
