Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. We are searching for self-driven, passionate test engineers who will be responsible for building and developing test systems for the next generation of iPhone, taking a lead role in the debugging of HW/SW issues. The candidate will play a meaningful role in the development of Apple products, collaborating with Apple internal cross-functional teams and contract manufacturers, taking a lead role in design, test and manufacturing with a very high bar of quality.
As an iPhone Hardware Test Engineer, you will be responsible for the electrical and functional testing with iPhone main logic boards and form factors. Your role will involve designing and defining specifications for test hardware and software. Apple's custom test solutions are sophisticated embedded systems that optimize for space efficiency, energy consumption, reliability, scalability, and cost. These systems integrate the latest embedded SOCs, custom analog and digital instruments, power systems, mechatronics, and real-time operating systems. This position uniquely combines hardware and software expertise. For every new feature added to the iPhone, you will develop and implement new tests in collaboration with our third-party test vendor partners, system engineers, and factory teams. Your creativity in finding better ways to accomplish tasks is highly valued. You will work closely with the iPhone Hardware Engineering team to influence design for testability and develop innovative testing methods with minimal test access. You will be challenged to achieve more with fewer resources.
Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity, and thus we treat all applicants fairly and equally. Apple is committed to working with and providing reasonable accommodation to applicants with physical and mental disabilities.
At Apple, we believe accessibility is a fundamental human right. You’ll find that idea reflected in everything here — in our culture, our benefits and our digital tools. By welcoming as many perspectives as possible, we help you build a career where you feel like you belong.
