Conceptualize, explore, and define new inferential and predictive location- and motion-based capabilities for Apple's platforms. Collect, curate, and analyze real-world data sets of varying size and complexity. Aggregate, filter, and cluster data on mobile devices, 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. Don’t forget to sweat the edge cases—an issue that impacts 1% of a billion devices is a big issue.
