Job Details
At Apple, we strive every single day to craft products that enrich people's 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 when off the grid without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Every day, Apple customers use Emergency SOS via satellite to access emergency assistance when they are in need of help and 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 users. Our team is looking for an experienced software engineer with modern embedded C++ and Python skills and experienced in software-defined-radio and real-time data-processing systems. A successful candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, testing, and operating a complex real-time software system that runs on a globally-distributed heterogeneous compute platform and processes every bit of information exchanged to realize the satellite connectivity.
Description - Development of software-defined-radio system on Linux running on AMD/Xilinx SoC (C++, Python, shell). - Cross-team coordination and execution of software releases and hardware-software integrated test campaigns. - Development and deployment of operation procedures (Python or Go) running on the cloud-based control and monitoring system.
