The Cupertino company just hired cable TV veteran Jean-François Mulé. They aren’t saying what he will be doing but the concept of a set-top cable box is being rejuvenated.
Mulé revealed his new position in a post to his LinkedIn page on Tuesday (via Multichannel), noting that he started working at Apple in September. Under the Experience column, Mulé said he would be “Challenged, inspired and part of something big” in his role as Engineering Director.
The hire was confirmed by Mulé’s most recent employer CableLabs, which is now looking to fill the outgoing executive’s former position of Senior VP of Technology Development.
