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++, 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 experience in signal processing, data science, machine learning, that's even better. An ability to evaluate and optimize fsystem performance: memory, CPU, radios, etc. Our software needs to provide a high level of service while sipping power. We believe this is a really exciting challenge. If it sounds frustrating to you, this isnt the right position. 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. Real passion fthe 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 their meaning. Thats what we do. If you possess knowledge in location estimationGPS/GNSS, WiFi positioning, indolocalization, discrete localizationwe're especially eager to speak with you. Description In this job, youll Developerp the next frontier of mobile technology, in partnership with teams in sensing, Siri, and apps. Hungry fthe responsibility to work on complex problems from end to end In this position, you will: - Conceptualize, explore, and define inferential and predictive location- and motion-based capabilities fApple's platforms. - Collect, curate, and analyze real-world data sets of varying size and complexity. - Aggregate, filter, and cluster data 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 intelligence and proactivity that can only come from deep contextual understanding. We dont want their sensitive data coming back to Apple being exposed to third parties. Other companies tackle similar problems in very different ways. Our way is more work. We believe its worth it.
