The Instrumentation and Test technology team is seeking a systems-thinking engineer to design and implement comprehensive test solutions for next-generation products. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop test methodologies and instrumentation for system characterization and validation. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in test integration and implementation, with experience in either test software or instrumentation hardware design. The position requires hands-on experience and a solid understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals.

Requirements

  • BS degree and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience
  • 3+ years of experience in programming languages like C/C++ or Python
  • End-to-end test design experience creating and documenting comprehensive test plans
  • Hands-on experience with electronics debugging tools
  • Ability to read schematics and layout and component data-sheets
  • Background in testing high-volume consumer electronics, particularly with Touch, Sensing, Display, or other complex user-facing technologies
  • Ability to perform and interpret statistical data analysis
  • Experience with structured problem-solving methodologies like Design of Experiments (DOE)

Responsibilities

  • Design comprehensive test strategies and methodologies for new product introduction and mass production.
  • Integrate measurement systems to support characterization and validation of products.
  • Develop and document high-level test plans and define test cases and coverage.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to develop critical test methodologies.
  • Support manufacturing partners during key product builds through international travel.

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.
