Software Engineer - Location & Spatial Awareness, Sensing & Connectivity

Apple•Cupertino, CA

15h

About The Position

Help craft the next generation of capabilities leveraging Apple location and spatial awareness technologies. Our team focuses on innovating, building, and productizing new ways for our devices to be spatially aware of each other, coupling different sensing technologies with sophisticated algorithms and AI/ML to enable new and more intuitive forms of interaction. We nurture new ideas from prototype to production, helping to establish hardware requirements and system design, conduct developmental testing, write production software, and track our results relative to physical and theoretical limits. This role is for a strong and experienced software generalist to help architect and develop software at the daemon and framework level — someone who thinks carefully about architectural decisions, is disciplined and dedicated to doing it right the first time, and is passionate about continuing a culture of software excellence in both developmental and production software. Join a team which designs, implements, and powers brand new technologies and services on a platform that empowers millions of developers and reaches over a billion users. We are looking for a highly-motivated and creative Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in Computer Science to help develop new technologies for special projects on the location services team. Our special projects target innovative new signals and technologies to enhance location-aware user experiences. Architect and implement production software systems for new technologies, fusing them with existing capabilities, and bringing new experiences to our users. Collaborate with developers on other iOS teams to architect the full iOS solution. Design and implement full-stack technologies integrating wireless technologies to solve real-world problems. Participate in brainstorming and evaluating new technologies as iOS continues to evolve.
