TL;DR · Wi-Fi Tools and Automation Engineer, Wireless Technologies & Ecosystems

As a mid level quality engineer within the Wi-Fi Quality Engineering CI team, you will develop and operate a large-scale test automation lab to validate every software change of the Wi-Fi stack across various device classes. You will build internal tools, create micro-services, and develop pipelines to support continuous integration efforts while improving testability through code design. Your daily work involves writing automation for unit, API, UI, and non-UI levels, as well as debugging hardware and software failures. To solve complex testing challenges, you will apply AI/ML techniques for failure triage, log analysis, and root-cause identification using tools like LLM-based test generation and agentic debugging assistants. Required skills include proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI, Objective C, or Python, along with experience in CI systems and automated testing to enhance the Wi-Fi user experience.

What you'll do

  • Develop and operate a large-scale test automation lab for multiple Apple products.
  • Write automated tests for new and existing features to validate Wi-Fi functionality.
  • Debug and troubleshoot hardware and software failures during testing cycles.
  • Build micro-services, tools, and pipelines to support continuous integration efforts.
  • Apply AI/ML techniques to improve test coverage, failure triage, and root-cause identification.
  • Integrate AI-assisted automation tools like LLM-based test generation into development workflows.
  • Prototype emerging AI tooling to streamline lab operations and reduce manual triage effort.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to improve software and hardware testability through better code design.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in Software QA Automation Engineering.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as Swift/SwiftUI, Objective C, or Python.
  • Experience automating tests at the Unit, API, UI, and non-UI levels.
  • Experience working with Continuous Integration systems.
  • Experience with AI and problem solving.
  • Ability to investigate, debug, and triage complex technical problems independently.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • A BS in computer science or equivalent experience.
