Analog Design Engineer (Cellular Receiver) | Analog Design Engineer (Cellular Receiver) (m/f/d) #200642770

Job Summary

This crucial role within Apple's RF/Analog IC design group involves architecting and implementing highly integrated cellular receivers optimized for 5G/LTE standards. The successful candidate will apply deep system-level knowledge to navigate complex performance trade-offs, balancing noise, linearity, power consumption, and area in multi-band and carrier aggregation scenarios. Day-to-day responsibilities include designing core receiver blocks such as LNAs, mixers, filters, and ADCs, and translating high-level system requirements into detailed block-level specifications. Success hinges on maintaining a holistic view of the entire receiver chain, managing system budgets (e.g., noise, phase noise), and utilizing RF and EM simulation tools to validate system-level behavior under 3GPP test conditions. This position offers the opportunity to push the boundaries of modern cellular transceivers in a dynamic, collaborative setting, making a significant impact through innovative design.
