Description

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. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience) Proficiency in Python, C++, or other programming languages A hands-on problem-solver with a genuine passion for validation — finding issues, understanding them, and driving them to resolution Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and thrive in a collaborative team environment PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Experience in SoC, system-level, or hardware integration testing Familiarity with lab automation frameworks, test infrastructure, or CI/CD pipelines Exposure to firmware validation, hardware bring-up, or failure analysis workflows Experience or interest in using Generative AI tools (e.g., LLM-based coding assistants) to write, review, or optimize engineering code Strong communication skills and comfort working across multiple engineering disciplines
