DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer — Firmware Validation

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives.

Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like

changing the game? We have an opportunity for a results-oriented and

extraordinarily hardworking DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer. As a member of our

multifaceted group, you will have the outstanding and great opportunity to craft

upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers

every single day.

DESCRIPTION

We're looking for a DevOps-minded engineer to contribute and grow the AMS

firmware validation platform — the CI/CD, infrastructure, and tooling that

builds, tests, and validates Mixed-Signal IP firmware from static analysis all

the way through hardware-in-the-loop silicon test.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

BS degree in technical discipline with minimum 10 years of relevant experience.

DevOps/infrastructure background: designing and owning CI/CD pipelines and

shared engineering infrastructure, with an automation-first mindset. Strong

Python for CLI tooling, orchestration, and system integrations against APIs,

webhooks, and service accounts. Hands-on experience operating self-hosted CI/CD

(GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar): pipeline design, runner

administration, job orchestration, and debugging failures at the infrastructure

level Proficiency with Git and the ability to integrate disparate build, test,

and reporting services into one coherent pipeline. Strong written and verbal

communication; able to drive cross-team triage and keep stakeholders aligned.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Familiarity with the hardware/firmware development lifecycle; exposure to SoC

bring-up or silicon test. Comfortable working hands-on in a hardware lab —

setting up boards and test stations and keeping them running. Familiarity with

lab instruments (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.) is a plus; day-to-day

signal-level debugging and board probing are not a core part of this role.

Experience with additional version-control systems (e.g., Perforce) or

server-hosted Git platforms C programming or firmware development experience.

Packaging and versioning tools (pip/conda, npm, or equivalent) and managing

dependency/release flows AI-assisted development and tooling (LLM agents,

MCP-style integrations) for code review, triage, and automation.

Containerization / service-deployment experience (Docker, etc.).
