Job description

We are looking for a creative and motivated Software Engineer to join our Product Systems Quality team, focusing on ensuring the highest quality for Mac and Home products. The role involves building large automated frameworks to gather extensive test data and developing next-generation automation tools enhanced by machine learning. You will work cross-functionally with various engineering and QA teams to identify risks and support investigations. This position emphasizes hardware-centric software risks and requires a strong understanding of machine learning applications.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
  • A minimum of 5 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and their practical application.
  • Knowledge of hardware/software validation, integration, or testing methodologies.
  • Strong programming skills and hands-on experience with Python.
  • Experience with CoreML, Swift, and iOS/macOS machine learning development.
  • Experience with relevant ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a cross-disciplinary team environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Academic background in data science, machine learning, computer vision, and statistical data analysis.
  • Experience in data analysis and developing data visualizations and reporting with tools such as Tableau or Superset.
  • Experience applying machine learning to anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, or test optimization.

Responsibilities

  • Develop key new areas of Mac and Home stability test coverage enhanced by machine learning capabilities.
  • Balance the day-to-day operations of existing automation that runs on thousands of units daily.
  • Plan, design, and write code for system stability automation.
  • Identify risk areas and testing responses in collaboration with engineering and QA teams.
  • Support engineering investigations related to hardware and software integration.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
