TL;DR · Navigation Framework Software Development in Test (SDET) – Apple Maps

As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Apple Maps, you will join the Maps Client Quality Engineering team as a mid-level professional, focusing on enhancing the reliability and performance of navigation features across all Apple platforms. Your day-to-day responsibilities include architecting and implementing framework-level automation to validate routing accuracy, guidance systems, ETA predictions, and service integrations. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify coverage gaps, define automation requirements, and extend existing frameworks for multiple environments. Additionally, you will integrate AI-driven quality initiatives to improve test selection and root-cause analysis, contributing to the evolution of Apple Maps’ automation ecosystem. The role requires expertise in Swift and Objective-C, asynchronous programming, CI/CD pipelines, and experience with XCTest or similar testing tools. You’ll work on a product used by millions globally, addressing complex challenges at scale within the geo-services domain.

What you'll do

  • Architect and implement automation for validating navigation routing, guidance, and ETA accuracy.
  • Build asynchronous tests that simulate real-world navigation behaviors and system responses.
  • Extend existing frameworks to support multiple environments and reduce runtime.
  • Collaborate with engineers to identify coverage gaps and deliver scalable solutions.
  • Integrate AI-driven insights into test workflows for smarter triage and root-cause analysis.
  • Contribute to the evolution of Apple Maps’ automation ecosystem, enhancing quality at scale.

What we're looking for

  • Strong programming skills in Swift and Objective-C, including debugging and extending framework-level code.
  • Experience with asynchronous programming and testing techniques such as async/await and dispatch queues.
  • Proven expertise in framework or non-UI automation for validating APIs, SDKs, or service integrations.
  • Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation infrastructure tools like ATP, Jenkins, and Xcode Cloud.
  • Ability to collaborate across teams to define automation needs and architect scalable solutions.
  • Experience integrating AI/ML techniques into automation workflows for intelligent triage and anomaly detection.
