Apple seeks engineers to fix iPhone antenna glitch
Wanted: Three geniuses to improve iPhone antennas.
According to job postings on Apple Inc.'s website, the company is hiring engineers to refine iPhone and iPad antennas. This wouldn't be notable except that the redesigned iPhone has something of an antenna problem. Holding the phone a certain way can cause the signal to fade or cut out.
Apple's previous answer to the problem felt flip - buy a protective case, or, in an e-mail attributed to chief executive Steve Jobs, "Just avoid holding it in that way."
The postings say candidates "should be able to design antennas suitable for wireless handheld devices with excellent radiation performance."
Apple did not respond Wednesday to requests for comment on the ads.
