SW Development Engineer: System RF Data Ecosystem

SW Development Engineer:
System RF Data Ecosystem

Cupertino, California, United States Hardware

At Apple, new ideas quickly transform into products, services, and customer experiences that delight millions. This innovation is fueled by cutting‑edge hardware developed within the Hardware Engineering Group. As a vital part of this organization, the System RF group designs and characterizes wireless systems across Apple’s flagship products—including iPhone, Watch, iPad, Mac, and Audio—ensuring world‑class performance from prototype to production. Within this organization, the Smart Data Ecosystem team empowers product evolution by building AI/ML‑powered analytics that unlock critical insights from complex wireless manufacturing and design data.

The team is currently seeking a SW Development Engineer who can build and deploy scalable, end‑to‑end software tools and systems in distributed cloud environments. Join a team operating at the intersection of hardware, data, and AI—architecting intelligent software tools that solve complex system optimization problems where you can directly influence the performance of Apple products used worldwide!

This role focuses on building high‑quality software systems that support and scale critical engineering workflows in a fast‑paced, startup‑like environment. As a Software Development Engineer, you will contribute to the design and implementation of full‑stack applications, working across front‑end interfaces, backend services, and cloud‑based infrastructure. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers to translate evolving requirements into well‑structured, maintainable code, applying strong software fundamentals to ensure correctness, performance, and reliability.

You possess strong debugging skills across the stack, with the ability to use logs, metrics, and systematic problem‑solving to diagnose and resolve development and production issues. You write automated tests and ensure code quality through thorough testing and code reviews, while applying performance best practices to deliver scalable, efficient software. Through hands‑on development, testing, and debugging, you will help deliver software that is resilient, scalable, and ready for rapid iteration.
