Job Description

In this job youll develop the next frontier of mobile technology in partnership with teams in sensing Siri and apps. Hungry for the responsibility to work on complex problems from end to end In this position you will: - Conceptualize explore and define new inferential and predictive location- and motion-based capabilities for Apples platforms. - Collect curate and analyze real-world data sets of varying size and complexity. - Aggregate filter and cluster data on mobile devices from a variety of local sensors: GPS WiFi accelerometer and others. - Design and implement algorithms then integrate them into production code. - Test your work. Dog-food it. Collect metrics and iterate. Dont forget to sweat the edge casesan issue that impacts 1% of a billion devices is a big issue. A dedication to users privacy and security is core to how Apple does business. We want their devices to exhibit the high level of intelligence and proactivity that can only come from deep contextual understanding. We dont want their sensitive data coming back to Apple or being exposed to third parties. Other companies solve similar problems in very different ways. Our way is more work. We believe its worth it.


  • 5 years experience developing commercial software. Most of the code you write will run on mobile devices in the hands of hundreds of millions of Apple customers. We use Objective-C but if you know C modern C or Swift you shouldnt have a problem.
  • A working knowledge of statistics fundamentals. Your code will make estimates identify patterns and quantify how strong they are. You should be comfortable using histograms basic probability and Bayess Theorem. If you have a background in signal processing data science or machine learning thats even better.
  • An ability to evaluate and optimize for system performance: memory CPU radios etc. Our software needs to provide a high level of service while sipping power. We think this is a really exciting challenge.


  • Real passion for the location domain. We believe that mobility is transformative and that to realize that transformation your devices need to understand the places you go and what they mean to you. Thats what we do. If you have experience in location estimationGPS/GNSS WiFi positioning indoor localization or discrete localizationwere especially eager to speak with you.
  • A proven track record working effectively across teams. One of the cool things about Apple is how much you will work with people who have different expertise and responsibilities than you: apps sensors connectivity and others. Youll need to communicate clearly plan collaboratively execute flexibly and cope with what will sometimes feel like a high degree of uncertainty.
  • Experience with Spark Hadoop or NoSQL data stores.
