Tesla Motors has hired away Apple’s Doug Field, who worked at the company in design and engineering capacities since 2008. Field was most recently Vice President of Mac Hardware Engineering at Apple, leading development of the latest MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac, according to a Tesla press release.
His 2008 hiring from Segway was rumored at the time to be for a “moonshot” project, details of which were never confirmed. Field will be Vice President of Vehicle Programs at Tesla.
