best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something.
Join the Virtualisation team and work on projects that span the entire system, from the kernel
to libraries, frameworks, and applications. As a Virtualisation engineer, you will have a major
impact on the design and implementation of Apple's virtual machines and virtualisation
frameworks. You will also collaborate with experts across Apple's software and hardware
organizations to virtualise operating system products. We are looking for a passionate
candidate who wants to work on products that aﬀect the lives of millions of users.

Description
The Virtualisation team is looking for a talented systems engineer to join the virtualised devices
group. Our team builds the foundational technologies for supporting external devices within
virtual machines, spanning hardware passthrough and software device emulation. We've
shipped USB passthrough support in the Virtualisation framework and created the
AccessoryAccess framework, and we're expanding the scope of both. This role touches kernel,
user-space, and guest OS boundaries, and we value broad systems fluency and the ability to
pick up new device technologies over deep prior expertise in any single one.","responsibilities":"Contribute to the Virtualisation and AccessoryAccess frameworks.
