A former Apple hardware engineer, who worked at the company for over a decade, has recently joined the automaker Rivian.
While he was employed by Apple, Jeff Alves was the company’s Director of Hardware Engineering. As part of the company’s battery engineering team, he worked on various projects such as the charging system for the original Apple Watch.
Alves was also involved in the development of the now-canceled Apple Car, as his name can be seen on the related Apple patents.
