Software Engineer - Location and Spatial Awareness

Software Engineer - Location and Spatial Awareness

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. Shape the next generation of location-aware mobile experiences by working on state-of-the-art technologies to seamlessly integrate people’s digital and physical lives. If you're passionate about building technology that will make a difference, we may be the team for you.
