Wireless Design Verification Engineer
About the role
Apple's Wireless Connectivity team is seeking a Wireless Design Verification Engineer to lead the verification of Radio digital controllers and Digital+RF subsystems for WiFi SoCs. The work involves architecting testbenches across radio control and transceiver paths spanning PLLs, DAC / ADC data paths, power management, and co-existence mechanisms.
What you'll do
- Architect verification environments for radio control and transceiver paths spanning PLLs, DAC / ADC data paths, power management, and co-existence mechanisms.
- Lead verification of Radio digital controllers and Digital+RF subsystems from concept through production.
- Develop verification strategies for radio-modeled subsystems across diverse scenarios and environmental conditions.
- Collaborate across Design, RF, PHY, Systems, and Integration teams to verify digital and RF/mixed-signal-modeled systems.
What you'll need
- BS and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
- Expertise verifying complex digital ASICs with a track record of successful silicon tapeouts.
- Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog and UVM, including testbench architecture, verification planning, and coverage-driven methodologies.
- Experience developing verification environments from scratch and bringing up complex designs in simulation.
- Experience with constrained random testing, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification.
Nice to have
- Experience verifying Radio digital controllers, DSPs, PLL control systems, or wireless transceiver subsystems.
- Exposure to RF/analog system designs such as LNAs, Mixers, PLLs, amplifiers, LDOs, DAC / ADCs.
- Experience with digital + mixed-signal co-simulation using SystemVerilog analog behavioral models / DMS or similar real-number-modeling approaches.
- Exposure to Python or similar scripting for automation, analysis, or infrastructure.
- Technical leadership experience driving verification strategies, establishing best practices, and delivering complex projects.
