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 ground-based network and infrastructure that enable satellite connectivity to iPhone when off the grid without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

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 a motivated Engineering Program Manager with a specialty in infrastructure development and network monitoring to collaborate with internal and external partners to develop, operate and maintain the ground-based network that enables the satellite system. As a key member of the team, you will contribute to and influence both internal Apple engineering teams, as well as vendors, to realize the infrastructure deployment! This role will enable data center operations and networking maintenance to ensure development targets are met and integration objectives between the two meet schedule and performance requirements. This role will also be key in ensuring these services meet their functional requirements, and are deployed, operated, and maintained in a highly observable, reliable and resilient manner.
