Job description

from Apple careers

A self-motivated automation engineer with strong programming fundamentals, responsible for designing, writing, and maintaining automated tests across software, firmware, backend, frontend, and mobile — while owning the full automation infrastructure and CI pipeline.
You will design, write, and maintain automated tests covering backend services, frontend interfaces, and mobile applications, including software and firmware. You will own and evolve the automation infrastructure, the physical lab environment, test agents, and CI pipeline reliability, while collaborating closely with development engineers to build and run automated test suites, triage failures, and expand coverage as new features are introduced. Industry best practices such as POM (Page Object Model) and AAA (Arrange-Act-Assert) patterns will guide your work to ensure automation projects remain well-structured, maintainable, and scalable. Over time, you will deepen your product knowledge to broaden test suite coverage accordingly, contribute to internal tooling, and leverage generative AI tools to improve productivity across test development, documentation, triage, and reporting.
