At Apple we strive every single day to craft products that enrich peoples lives. Our successes are the result of skilled domain experts working in an environment which encourages creativity collaboration and re-thinking of old problems in new ways! As a member of the Satellite Connectivity Group you will work on the satellite network that enables connectivity to iPhone and Watch Ultra when off the grid without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Every day Apple customers use Emergency SOS Roadside assistance and Messages via satellite to stay connected when they have no other means to communicate. You will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape this and other critical services to the benefit and safety of millions of Apple device will build and run an Apple service enabling platform that millions of customers may rely on every day. Youll also build and run the infrastructure that powers those services with emphasis on build not just operate or implement. Were looking for people who like to solve problems using software rather than shell prompts as we scale Apples services for customers around the world. Help us build the Apple experience on a global scale!
