Location: Cupertino, CA 95014
Description:
Summary
Our mission is to enable intelligent devices that understand where you go, when, what those places mean to you, and what you want to accomplish there. You're experiencing our work whenever you see a suggested location in Maps, interact with outings or trips in Journaling Suggestions, or browse your Memories in Photos. We're looking for a motivated, experienced technical team leader to help take our products to the next level of capability, quality, and impact. Do you have experience associating users and devices with points of interest on a map? Do you have a background in GPS/GNSS, WiFi location, or embedded sensing, and are looking to move up the stack? Are you excited by the optimization problem of providing rich contextual intelligence within a compact resource footprint? If these describe you, read on.
Description
In this job, you'll lead a team of software engineers and data scientists, sensing the points of interest on the map that devices visit. You'll take the initiative to create new and improved user experiences, in partnership with teams in sensing, Siri, and apps. Seize the opportunity to work on complex problems from end to end! Together with your team, you'll design, build, and evaluate production algorithms and software systems to infer the place a device is, using a variety of data sets, incorporating multiple sensors-GPS, WiFi, accelerometer, and others. Test your work, dog-food it, collect metrics, and iterate. Don't forget to sweat the edge cases! An issue that impacts a couple 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 don't want their sensitive data coming back to Apple or going to third parties.
