Software Quality Engineer, Media Applications & Live Experiences

Apple Vision Pro is a spatial computer that blends digital content with your physical space transforming how audiences experience movies concerts and live sports. Apples Vision Products Group (VPG) is seeking a Software Quality Engineer to champion quality on Spatial computing devices for live and on-demand media experiences on visionOS platforms.

In this role you will serve as the voice of the end user for live sports events and spatial media on visionOS. You will shape the quality of our client software by planning and coordinating testing across complex development cycles working closely with development engineers production teams and delivery will develop test plans run quality reviews support design reviews and lead bug triage through resolution on Apple client devices. You will support testing across the media lifecycle from live capture and distribution to on-device playback performance and reliability and you will assess stream health and playback stability for features such as 3D playback and Apple Immersive Video. During live events you will help execute testing coordinate with engineering partners and drive issues through to resolution under operational scale coverage you will partner with automation engineers contribute to test automation as your skills grow and use Generative AI tools to speed up log analysis failure classification and reporting. You will balance these with hands-on exploratory reliability and performance testing on visionOS hardware.

Design and develop a new automated test suite for a new hardware and software product on Vision OS intended for distribution to cross-functional teams as part of their validation workflows and CI pipelinesnExpand automated test coverage by authoring new tests within existing frameworks building upon established tooling rather than starting from scratchnCollaborate with fellow automation engineers to ensure new test work aligns with established team standards coding practices and architectural patternsnPartner with cross-functional teams to support integration of the automated test suite into their continuous integration systems and pre-submission test passesnImprove the reliability and stability of existing automated test suites through debugging refactoring and targeted enhancement

10 years in end-user client software quality engineering media or video QAt with experience writing test plans and coordinating test passes and reviews across engineering with video streaming concepts (for example HLS or DASH) and video formats (AVC HEVC) with curiosity about spatial media leading and developing a team in a highly cross-functional of test automation concepts and how automated tests fit into a quality strategy for OS frameworks such as AVKit and at balancing multiple efforts simultaneously and meeting deadlines. Passionate about user-focused design high-quality applications and iterative use of Generative AI tools to support test workflows such as log analysis or report analytical and communication skills with the ability to turn complex issues into clear bug reports and readiness summaries.

Experience building or maintaining automated test scripts tools or pipelines to run on Apple devicesnFamiliarity with Apple platform tools (Xcode Swift) and media frameworks (AVFoundation and other OS media frameworks).ntWorking knowledge of visionOS iOS or macOS; experience debugging and profiling performance on client devicesnExperience with AR/VR spatial computing devicesnExperience with CI/CD test pipelines; working across various OS media frameworks and platform or MS in Computer Science Computer Engineering Broadcast Engineering or equivalent experience.
