About the role
Join Apple's Wireless Connectivity team to verify state-of-the-art WiFi SoCs from concept through production. Lead verification of Radio digital controllers and Digital+RF subsystems, architect verification environments, and drive multi-domain testbench and co-simulation efforts to ensure robust wireless operation across diverse scenarios.
Responsibilities
- Lead subsystem-level verification of Radio digital controllers / data paths from test planning through feature bring up and closure.
- Drive cross-functional collaboration to define verification requirements and debug complex issues spanning digital and RF/analog domains.
- Architect sophisticated UVM testbench environments and infrastructure frameworks for radio control systems, PLL controllers, and data path subsystems.
- Develop constrained random scenarios for complex radio protocols and multi-domain interactions.
- Lead digital + mixed-signal co-simulation efforts integrating SystemVerilog behavioral and DMS models.
- Mentor team members on radio verification approaches and establish best practices.
Qualifications
- BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
- Demonstrated expertise verifying complex digital ASICs with track record of successful silicon tapeouts.
- Deep 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.
- 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 through example—driving verification strategies, establishing best practices, and delivering complex projects.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional technical decisions.
