Job description
from Apple careersIf you have ever wanted to build the future in mobile communication, then this is your opportunity. You will play a key role in our multi-site SoC Engineering Team (Munich/Linz), defining the SoC architecture used in RF transceivers for our next-generation 6G cellular chipsets.
In your role as an RF SoC Architect, you will be part of a best-in-class RF Cellular Team and define and develop RF Transceiver SoCs for 6G Cellular products. You will work closely with other Cellular Modem and RF system engineering as well as Hardware and Firmware design teams. Your challenge and primary responsibility will be to define key aspects of the real-time control architecture of our future RF transceiver roadmap.
- You will model and analyse system use cases, states, and sequence charts, and create a matching SoC architecture
- You are breaking down system requirements into a balanced hardware and software partitioning
- The SoC architectures you are going to define will scale over various product variants and versions
- Together with other teams, you will be responsible for co-defining the functional split between cellular baseband, RF transceiver, and RF frontend down to the antenna to achieve best-in-class modem important metrics.
<h3>Minimum Qualifications</h3>Several years of expertise in SoC architecture for embedded systems, in particular including CPU, memory, bus fabric, and peripherals architectures - expertise in RISC-V SoCs is appreciated
