On en découvre des choses en explorant les offres d’emploi de la firme de Cuppertino. Hier, alors que je me baladais sur leur site en quête d’un job (oui, je cherche du travail, et pas seulement dans des agences d´emploi :p), j’ai vu qu’Apple recherchait 2 personnes spécialisées « Mass Storage ». Plus précisément, les intitulés sont les suivants :

• iPod Core Tech Mass Storage Manager (lien)

The iPod group is a growing, high energy, results-oriented team. We are looking for a talented Engineering Manager to drive our Mass Storage solutions across iPod and iPhone products. This is a senior position demanding strengths in many areas: people management, program management, and technical aptitude.

Core Technology Managers will work cross-functionally with multiple teams throughout Apple as well as with external suppliers. A successful candidate will help set strategy, execute on schedule, and be responsible for managing/communicating status and issues along the way. S/he must show the ability to lead and develop new processes and ideas.




• Mass Storage QA Engineer – iPod/iPhone

(lien)

In this role you are responsible for designing and expanding our current testing environment. In addition you are expected to assist in testing current and future iPod/iPhone devices as they connect to Windows and OS X desktops. You will provide test specifications, create and maintain test documentation, review and diagnose reported bugs, and ensure overall quality of products prior to release. You will perform configuration and regression testing. Lastly, you will act as a mentor to other members of the team; teaching them how to leverage tools you’ve created.

Alors, peut-on imaginer que les futures versions de l’iPhone OS permettront de connecter notre précieux en tant que périphérique de stockage de masse, autrement dit, en tant que disque dur externe ? Une fonctionnalité demandée depuis le début par les utilisateurs et qui s’avérerait franchement pratique ! Wait & See…
