About the role

Internship focusing on applying software development and automation skills to validate, characterize, and optimize the RF system within Apple’s cellular modem sub-system. Involves developing automated tests, expanding regression tests, debugging RF-related issues, and collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities

  • Study and understand system specifications to assist in identifying relevant system use-cases for validation.
  • Implement and debug automated tests, requiring strong software skill and an understanding of RF test methodologies, to create meaningful regression campaigns.
  • Support the installed quality gates by constantly helping to expand test coverage through improved automatization.
  • Apply your software skill to develop automatization tools for the characterization of the downlink system performance, helping manage the multi-dimensional RF solution space.
  • Assist in debugging RF functional or performance issues by developing software scripts to parse logs, analyze data, and visualize RF key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Track the status and progress of test execution by helping define and report on metrics with clear verdicts.
  • Collaborate with colleagues from different disciplines (System Engineering, HW, FW, and SW development teams) to support the resolution of RF-related problems.
  • Gain hands-on experience by using your software skills to control state-of-the-art RF test equipment and development platforms through automatization.
  • Document methodology and best practices for the verification flow.

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Excellent Python programming skills are a must; experience with C/C++ or Matlab is a plus.
  • Strong understanding of software development fundamentals, including scripting for automatization.
  • Experience with data post-processing, statistical analysis, and visualization, applying your software skill to large datasets.
  • A foundational understanding of, or strong interest in, RF skills (e.g., wireless systems, signal processing) is highly desired to effectively apply your software expertise to our domain.
  • Familiarity with lab environments and RF test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators) is highly desirable.
  • Ability to learn quickly and apply software debugging skills to complex problems in a collaborative team environment.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience in working with international teams.
