While the majority of rumors pertaining to Apple’s alleged plans to develop an HDTV come from analysts who are wrong more often than they are right, a recent job posting by Apple indicates that there is definitely something cooking up in Cupertino these days. And while it may not involve an actual HDTV, Apple is certainly focusing more and more attention on its Apple TV.

Originally spotted by 9to5Mac, the recently posted job posting is looking for someone to help “bring the Apple experience to the Living Room.”

The Apple TV team is looking for an experienced engineering manager to help deliver the next generation features for Apple TV. Bring your creative energy and engineering discipline, and help us bring the Apple experience to the Living Room…Work closely with cross functional teams, representing Apple TV across Apple.

Intriguing, especially considering that Tim Cook never misses an opportunity to exclaim that the Apple TV is merely a hobby for Apple. What’s more, the initiative is described as being a “high priority project.”
