Summary
This isn't an ordinary automation and validation engineering position. You will engage in a collaborative and rapidly changing environment to discover and solve challenging problems that arise from integrating new technologies into Apple’s products.
You will join a hands-on development team that fosters engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation. Put your creativity, hardware background, programming, and problem-solving skills to the test. Adapt quickly to new technical areas, and deeply engage cross-functional teams to address problems. In this role, you will be responsible for all aspects of a large-scale lab crafted for testing new Hardware and Firmware
Description
As a Validation Engineer, you will play a central role in ensuring the quality and readiness of Apple's next-generation hardware and firmware.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
Lab Development & Operations — Design, build, and operate a large-scale automation lab capable of testing multiple products simultaneously.
Test Execution & Debug — Develop and manage automated test suites, triage lab failures, and drive root-cause analysis to closure.
Cross-Functional Integration — Integrate deliverables from multiple R&D teams across Apple, ensuring seamless end-to-end validation and on-time product delivery.
Automation & Tooling — Create and maintain frameworks, scripts, and infrastructure that improve test coverage, efficiency, and reliability.
AI-Assisted Development — Leverage Generative AI tools and techniques to accelerate code development, automate test generation, and enhance engineering productivity.
Continuous Improvement — Identify gaps in existing validation processes and propose innovative solutions that raise the quality bar for future programs.
