Apple has posted more than 300 automotive-related job positions in 2020, including battery power management, road safety, and car experience.
These job postings were apparently all for new hires within Apple's Special Project Group, or SPG, a special unit at the Cupertino-baed company that only works on scalable, innovative projects.
A few of the positions Apple hoped to fill include:
- Senior power systems engineer for power management and distribution systems
- Electromagnetic compatibility design engineer to suppress converter noise
- Cell characterisation engineer to drive development of novel lithium-ion batteries
- Safety modeling engineer to survey safety models and NHTSA and SAE standards
- Motor controls integration and calibration engineer for electronic systems and motor
- LV power electronics engineer for design and implementation of DC/DCs.
And these were just a few of the job postings. Apple also posted around 50 jobs related to digital car experience and wireless technologies. In the past six months, the company has even been increasing the frequency at which it posts jobs for electrical engineering.
Apparently Apple has been upgrading the team size for the Titan project, and this means that Apple Car has entered a substantial stage.
