Job description

This role involves ensuring the quality of interactions between Apple devices and various accessories and power sources. The team focuses on identifying potential customer issues before they arise, validating experiences across multiple Apple product lines. The engineer will be responsible for developing test automation and analysis tooling, contributing to the overall quality of projects from prototypes to release. The position requires strong communication skills and the ability to mentor less-experienced engineers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 3+ years of industry experience developing test automation or analysis tooling in Python or C/C++
  • Experience with QA methodology, test planning, and execution for hardware or consumer electronics products
  • Experience with hardware protocol-level validation or firmware validation such as USB, PCIe, I2C, or SPI
  • Understanding of USB-PD power negotiation, Type-C specifications, and port controller firmware behavior
  • Experience using AI tooling for automation and analysis

Responsibilities

  • Own the quality of how Apple devices, accessories, and power sources interact from early prototypes through release
  • Develop and implement automation coverage that outlasts the project
  • Review code and guide less-experienced engineers on design and quality
  • Identify and quantify issues that matter before release and assess their customer impact
  • Collaborate with partner teams on project quality and validation

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.
