TL;DR · Automation Quality Engineer

As an Automation Quality Engineer on the Product Systems Quality Display team, you will design and deploy sophisticated automated testing fixtures and robotics solutions to ensure high quality standards for new products. You will work with a multi-disciplinary group of engineers to develop systems that validate external display compatibility with Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. Your daily responsibilities include planning, developing, and executing system, stability, and stress tests while integrating software and hardware components to mitigate risks. The role requires utilizing Python, computer vision via OpenCV, and AI/ML applications to automate device and cable detection. You will also leverage knowledge of I/O technologies like Thunderbolt, DP, and HDMI. This position addresses the technical challenge of creating intelligent automation systems at the intersection of robotics and consumer electronics testing in complex system environments.

What you'll do

  • Design and deploy automated systems using robotics, machine learning, and computer vision to validate external display compatibility.
  • Integrate software and hardware components to build intelligent automation systems for testing Apple devices.
  • Formulate, review, and lead test strategies and plans specifically focused on display validation.
  • Apply AI/ML techniques to automate device and cable detection during the plug-in process.
  • Develop and maintain automation frameworks to expand test coverage in complex system environments.
  • Execute system, stability, and stress tests with a focus on hardware-centric software risks.
  • Improve internal tools, infrastructure, and testing practices based on emerging technologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of two years experience developing robotic solutions in Python within complex, multi-language systems.
  • Experience with computer vision (OpenCV) and/or AI/ML applications.
  • Strong software engineering skills to deliver clean, well-tested, and optimized code.
  • Technical knowledge of I/O technologies including Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB.
  • Experience developing and maintaining automation frameworks for large-scale validation in complex environments.
  • Hands-on experience with 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Fusion 360) and fabrication techniques like 3D printing or CNC machining.
  • Strong understanding of QA methodologies and the ability to design comprehensive validation test plans.
