Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work.

Every new product we build, service we create, or user experience we deliver is the result of us strengthening each other’s ideas. That happens because every one of us believes that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you will do more than join something — you’ll add something!

We are the Apple Field Design Engineering team, and we are looking for a highly motivated Cellular Field Design Engineer responsible for conducting Field evaluations of Apple products, from early prototypes to final products, to deliver the best Cellular end-user experience. You will perform deep-dive analysis into internal logs to understand and identify issue root causes and drive them to closure by collaborating closely with wireless HW/SW test and development teams.

Come join our team as a Cellular Field Design Engineer, where you will evaluate the latest iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch Cellular systems in the field! This includes very early evaluations of our Prototypes and HW Systems on Cellular technologies. It also includes focused experiments related to RF/OTA performance and Wireless Baseband performance and conducting end-user-centric studies to characterize real-world cellular experience.

Responsibilities Include:

– Cellular Field validation of Apple Products on live networks for critical technologies like 3G, 4G, NR (SA/NSA)

– Conduct testing on key cellular functionality, Voice, Data throughput, and User Experience.

– Conduct focused field studies to evaluate Antenna/RF performance in near cell, mixed and marginal coverage environments.

– Analyze voice and data call issues across different layers of Cellular protocol stack like Phy, Mac, RLC, PDCP, RRC, NAS, and TCP layers.
