SW Development In Test - Kernel Technologies

We are looking for a passionate software engineer to join our validation software development team. You'll have the unique opportunity to build the validation infrastructure and frameworks that kernel engineers rely on, while also validating kernel features that support our silicon and product roadmap - including memory management, concurrency, scheduling, power transitions, kernel/user boundaries, CPU tracing, and more. You'll be given the ownership and agency to influence the future direction of our products.

Successful candidates will join a multifaceted team responsible for building validation infrastructure and qualifying the latest kernel technologies on all our products, from watches to laptops, including unreleased prototypes. Our team collaborates with software development and validation teams around the world and is involved throughout the development lifecycle, from initial design until we ship to the customer.

Responsibilities:
- Designing, building, and maintaining scalable validation infrastructure, test frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines that enable kernel engineers to efficiently qualify their work across a wide array of Apple devices.
- Developing tooling and automation that improves test reliability, execution speed, and coverage reporting.
- Defining validation strategies, test plans, and testing methodologies for kernel technologies.
- Planning and developing automated test suites to validate new and existing kernel features.
- Independently managing efforts across cross-functional teams and communicating quality status to stakeholders.
