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 and Watch Ultra when off the grid without cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Every day, Apple customers use Emergency SOS, Roadside assistance, and Messages via satellite to stay connected when they 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. The Satellite Connectivity Group is hiring a software engineer to build automation and runtime infrastructure behind our communication satellite network. Our premise is that a satellite network should be run the way modern software services are run — through code, APIs, and instrumentation rather than manual console work. You will sit on the seam between the satellite network, the cloud services that connect to it, and our operations partners that control it. You will partner with hardware, cloud, and operations teams on root-cause investigations. You will carry the pager for the systems you build. The software you write will be foundational for a connectivity service for millions of users worldwide. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 2, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 16 days - Location: San Jose, United States of America[Apply on Apple’s careers site →](https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/200687074/software-engineer-satellite-operations) ## More jobs at Apple ### [Distributed Systems Software Engineer (Golang)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/768470d0b613294909f2/) San Jose, United States of America ### [Prototyping Software Engineer, VPG Health & Fitness](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/47ea3006d1a07148e820/) San Jose, United States of America ### [Software Asset Program Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/6a2dbc1382f85e766a1b/) San Jose, United States of America ### [Apple Real Estate & Development FP&A – Sr. Analyst, Renewable Energy](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/49f424aafe3f3c3f8d90/) San Jose, United States of America ### [Apple Vision Product Design Engineering Program Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/apple/jobs/83d8005da16eb8d44300/) San Jose, United States of America ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Satellite Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/61a1d73b8977b4030a7a/) Lockheed Martin · Littleton, CO ### [Sr Satellite Test Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/6fc2e2f9647a4b17c93e/) Lockheed Martin · Littleton, CO ### [Satellite Communications Software Engineer | Software Defined Radio Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/79295460260dbd596626/) General Dynamics · Scottsdale, AZ, US ### [Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Engineer - TS/SCI w/Poly](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/d7cdfbaff3913f634fbe/) General Dynamics · McLean, VA, US ### [Mission Operations Systems Engineer, Optical Inter-Satellite Link](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/ea0614b80de4ff5a8117/) Amazon · US, WA, Redmond OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
