Join Apple's Wireless Connectivity team developing state-of-the-art WiFi SoCs that power hundreds of millions of Apple products worldwide. You'll be part of our vertically integrated organization shaping next-gen wireless technology from concept through production. As a Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer, you'll ensure first-time-right silicon success through sophisticated testbenches, comprehensive scenarios, and cutting-edge verification methodologies-enabling multi-gigabit wireless technology connecting the world!

As a Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer, you'll verify sophisticated WiFi PHY digital systems spanning time/frequency-domain processing, hardware acceleration, calibration engines, and protocol implementation. You'll architect verification strategies for high-rate, low-power, low-latency, and multi-link wireless features enabling advanced applications across Apple's product ecosystem. You'll own subsystem verification from test planning through coverage closure-building environments, constrained random scenarios, and applying analytics methodologies to deliver exceptional wireless silicon.

Develop sophisticated UVM environments and bus functional models for complex DSP subsystems and IEEE 802.11 protocol.

Own subsystem verification from test planning and environment bring-up through feature closure.

Develop UVM testbench environments, bus functional models (BFMs), assertions, and infrastructure / DPIs to utilizing algorithm models.

Architect and implement constrained random scenarios exercising complex protocol interactions.

Apply data-driven verification closure through coverage tracking, issue tracking, gap identification, and metrics.

Drive verification strategy with cross-functional Systems / Design teams to achieve coverage closure across complex domains.

Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.

Track record of several tapeout cycles of sophisticated designs.

Experience verifying wireless, DSP, or digital communication systems.

Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog / UVM including testbench architecture, scenario creation, and coverage-driven methodologies.

Experience developing verification environments, bringing up complex designs, and debugging simulations.

Experience with constrained random testing, functional coverage implementation, and assertion-based verification.

Knowledge of IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols, Bluetooth, Cellular, or similar communication systems.

Experience with applying / integrating System models utilizing DPIs.

Understanding of DSP algorithms verification strategies (Bit / Cycle matching, Assertions).

Experience with transaction-level modeling including packet-based approaches (scoreboarding, protocols).
