About this role
Join a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver outstanding performance for wireless products. As a senior member of the Product RF Design team, you will be at the forefront of wireless technology, pushing the boundaries of achievable performance for innovative products.
You'll bring deep, hands-on expertise to a product development team that shapes current and future generations of Apple products, and you'll play a key role in building team capability — guiding junior engineers, fostering collaboration, and strengthening the team's technical culture as it grows.
We're looking for an experienced engineer with strong fundamentals and a proven track record in RF/wireless and electromagnetic theory, antenna design, system integration, and wireless communications.
As a mid/senior RF Design Engineer, you bring broad, deep knowledge across RF architecture, design, integration, and manufacturing. You have deep theoretical and practical expertise in electromagnetic theory, RF and wireless circuit design, communication theory, and product design trade-offs — and you know how to apply that expertise to resolve complex, ambiguous technical problems independently.
You use electromagnetic and system simulation, hands-on prototyping, and test and measurement to understand complex system and sub-system interactions, their implications for product- level design, and manufacturing trade-offs that enable mass production at scale.
BSEE or equivalent education. 6+ years of experience in antenna/RF design in consumer products. Demonstrated ownership of RF/antenna design through at least one full product cycle, from concept to mass production.
Strong foundation in antenna/RF design, wireless communications, EM theory, or circuit design. Deep knowledge of EM or RF hardware and antenna design.
Master's or above in Electrical Engineering with an Electro-magnetics or RF emphasis. Advanced proficiency with electromagnetic simulation tools. Extensive hands-on experience with RF lab instrumentation.
Proven ability to debug desense issues and characterize noise sources independently. Experience driving production-environment problem solving and statistical analysis. Experience mentoring or technically leading other engineers.
