Apple Inc. wants to hire an engineer with extensive knowledge of China Mobile Ltd.’s homegrown phone network, evidence it’s moving toward an agreement for the world’s largest carrier to offer the iPhone.
The manager, who will be based in Beijing, will “support and drive the carrier approval of mobile phones,” Apple said in an advertisement on its China website. The position seeks experience with TD-SCDMA, China Mobile’s own third-generation standard that isn’t used by other carriers.
