The Verizon iPhone may still be a shot in the dark right now, but according to a new job posting on the Apple website, the company may be looking to put the iPad on the Verizon network. This position will be a full-time job, based in Cupertino.

You may recall that Verizon started selling the iPad about a month ago, but their solution is a bit of a kludge, requiring a Mi-Fi style device to provide the wireless data connection. A Verizon iPad, however, may just push more people to purchase the 3G model iPad. It is interesting to see that Apple is at least looking to bring a Verizon-based device to market. This does, however, leave a lot of speculation about a potential iPhone on Verizon.

According to the job description on Apple's site, " The iPad System Engineer will work with the carrier business teams, business customers, and Apple sales resources to drive the adoption of iPad in enterprise accounts. Partnered with the iPad Sales team, the SE will be responsible for developing carrier relationships within the carrier technical teams and must have exceptional technical, project management, presentation and communication skills. He/She must also possess the ability to work without direct supervision or detailed direction. The successful candidate will have enterprise sales experience and must have an existing knowledge of the mobile market and the technologies that support it. Individual must have strong IT knowledge in the areas of enterprise messaging and collaboration, VPN, WiFi and enterprise security technologies. Hands-on experience with Microsoft Exchange Active Sync and Exchange Server is a plus. Must have the ability to effectively work with all levels in an organization including corporate CIOs and IT departments. Ability to work across a matrixed team is required."
