Responsibilities

• In cellular modem development, the RF system is developed, characterized, and optimized before it gets integrated into different kinds of products. As an RF System Validation Intern, your role will focus heavily on applying your software development and automatization skills to this cycle. This starts by assisting engineers in understanding the test scope, and then using your software skill to develop the automated test cases used to characterize and optimize the RF system. You will help maintain and expand regression tests that monitor performance, where robust automatization is key. Your growing knowledge of RF systems, combined with your software debugging ability, will be valuable in helping senior engineers investigate functional and performance failures.
• Your role will include but not be limited to the following tasks: 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.
• We are looking to hire a motivated intern to join our RF System Validation group, which develops the cellular modems used in Apple's future mobile devices. You will apply your software and automatization skills to support the validation of the receiver embedded in our state-of-the-art cellular RF sub-system.
• This role connects your software expertise with hands-on RF systems, giving you a unique opportunity to contribute to the test and characterization of all cellular radio access technologies.
• We are looking for an enthusiastic and curious student who is eager to apply their software development skills to help us solve tomorrow’s complex hardware and RF challenges.
