SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Doug Field, who stepped down as the senior vice president of engineering at Tesla Inc. last month, is returning to Apple Inc, Apple told Reuters on Thursday.
Field will be working with Apple executive Bob Mansfield, who has been heading up Apple’s self-driving car program, Project Titan, according to Daring Fireball, a technology news website that earlier reported Field’s move.
Apple did not comment on Field’s new position. Field and Mansfield previously worked together on engineering Apple’s line of Mac computers.
