Apple is looking to hire three iPhone/iPad antenna engineers who can design antennas suitable for wireless handheld devices with excellent radiation performance.

All three positions were posted on June 23rd which is coincidentally the same day that customers started complaining about reception issues with their iPhone 4s.

Responsibilities: Define and implement antenna system architecture to optimize the radiation performance for wireless portable devices. The candidate should be able to design antennas suitable for wireless handheld devices with excellent radiation performance, including TRP, TIS, SAR, and EMC. Work closely with other RF and antenna design engineers, mechanical and industrial designers, and EMC engineers to integrate the antenna design in our products. The candidate will be expected to performance radiation performance measurements, create test plans, execute them, publish test reports, provide feedback to the other design engineers, and lead some of the manufacturing of antenna.

What this tells me is that Apple knows there is an issue with their reception caused by the phone itself, not software, and they still don't show signs of helping the customer out with a credit for a case for the phone. Or even worse, they decided to keep shipping the phones regardless of this issue. I am assuming between the "light bulb" moment of the complaints and the posting of the jobs online and today, there have still been phones shipped out with this issue...STOP PRODUCTION??? Never!!!!!!!!

sounds like all of the previous engineers got canned. I wonder if this means it ISN'T a software issue. Wow. I guess I'll wait for the next iPhone to come out.
