Apple is inventing new audio experiences on our newer platforms such as Vision Pro while continuing to add new innovative features and improve quality of our existing platforms such as AirPods, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePods, and Mac. Over the last several years with major contributions from an impactful team, we helped define the spatial audio experiences on Vision Pro as well as contributed to features such as iPhone mirroring, AirPlay 2, as well as Personalized Volume and Conversation Awareness on AirPods. The team helped expand capabilities of our existing platforms by bringing FaceTime to AppleTV and bringing AirPods automatic switching to all Apple platforms. We have been striving to improve quality by increasing the audio responsiveness for the past several years with a pipeline of ideas to continue improving the stack in the future. We play a vital role in the audio stack across all of Apple's operating systems including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS. We help define how a customer experiences audio across Apple's ecosystem by working in conjunction with Design and other engineering teams. We track audio events on the system such as a user placing AirPods in their ears while playing media on iPhone speaker and automatically route audio to the AirPods via Bluetooth. If the user then chooses to play media via HomePod, we route audio to the HomePod via AirPlay 2. Extrapolate this to every other way a user would use audio on Apple's platforms and we are often the brains behind those experiences.

• BS/MS in Computer science, Computer engineering, Electrical engineering with System programming focus or equivalent
• 4-5 years of managing mid-sized teams in fast-paced environments

• Industry Experience working in audio or media software stacks
