Do you want to impact billions of users by developing extraordinary products with prime focus on location accuracy and user experience? Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) transmit at the power of a lightbulb from 13,000 miles away and are moving four kilometers per second. The received signals are commonly a hundred times weaker than cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang and arrive next to interfering signals ten billion times stronger, just few MHz away. Imagine using that to provide accurate and precise positioning to the user! We are the Apple Field Design Engineering Connectivity group specializing on location technologies using GNSS. We are looking for highly motivated and passionate engineer to evaluate location and navigation user experience on the latest iPhone, Watch & iPad products, and influence program decisions with engineering expertise. Come join our team!
