Apple Vision Pro is a spatial computer that blends digital content with your physical space, transforming how audiences experience movies, concerts, and live sports. Apple's 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.
DESCRIPTION
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 partners.
You 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 timelines.
To 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.
Responsibilities
- 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 pipelines
- Expand automated test coverage by authoring new tests within existing frameworks, building upon established tooling rather than starting from scratch
- Collaborate with fellow automation engineers to ensure new test work aligns with established team standards, coding practices, and architectural patterns
- Partner with cross-functional teams to support integration of the automated test suite into their continuous integration systems and pre-submission test passes
- Improve the reliability and stability of existing automated test suites through debugging, refactoring, and targeted enhancement
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 10 years in end-user client software quality engineering, media or video QA, with experience writing test plans and coordinating test passes and reviews across engineering teams.
- Familiarity with video streaming concepts (for example, HLS or DASH) and video formats (AVC, HEVC), with curiosity about spatial media playback.
- Experience leading and developing a team in a highly cross-functional environment.
- Understanding of test automation concepts and how automated tests fit into a quality strategy for OS frameworks such as AVKit and CoreMedia.
- Proficient at balancing multiple efforts simultaneously and meeting deadlines. Passionate about user-focused design, high-quality applications, and iterative refinement.
- Practical use of Generative AI tools to support test workflows, such as log analysis or report generation.
- Strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to turn complex issues into clear bug reports and readiness summaries.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience building or maintaining automated test scripts, tools, or pipelines to run on Apple devices
- Familiarity with Apple platform tools (Xcode, Swift) and media frameworks (AVFoundation and other OS media frameworks).
- Working knowledge of visionOS, iOS, or macOS; experience debugging and profiling performance on client devices
- Experience with AR/VR, spatial computing devices
- Experience with CI/CD test pipelines; working across various OS media frameworks and platform teams.
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Broadcast Engineering, or equivalent experience.
PAY & BENEFITS
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $166,600 and $296,000, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses - including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation. Learn more about Apple Benefits

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Quality Management Specialist
Frame your credentials around specialty occupation
Your Australian degree and QMS certifications need to map directly to the role's theoretical and practical requirements. A general business degree paired with ISO 9001 lead auditor credentials strengthens the specialty occupation case more than either does alone.
Target manufacturers and life sciences employers
Industries with mandatory quality compliance, like medical devices, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals, file LCAs regularly because quality roles are baked into their regulatory obligations. These employers understand E-3 visa sponsorship better than generalist hiring managers in other sectors.
Clarify LCA wage levels during salary negotiations
The DOL requires your employer to certify a prevailing wage on your LCA before you can apply. Ask HR whether the posted role is classified at Level I, II, or III, since a mismatch between your experience and the wage level can trigger delays at the consulate.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have a signed offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork from start to consulate appointment. This avoids the common mistake of letting employer HR teams submit an LCA with incorrect SOC codes for quality management roles.
Verify employer E-Verify enrollment before accepting
Some quality management roles sit inside federal contractor supply chains, which require E-Verify participation. Confirm enrollment before your offer letter is finalized, as onboarding delays caused by late E-Verify setup can affect your start date and status timing.
Prepare a credential equivalency brief for three-year degrees
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes, but consular officers occasionally flag them. A one-page credential equivalency summary from an evaluator gives your employer's attorney a ready answer if the issue arises.
E-3 Visa Quality Management Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Quality Management Specialist jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Quality Management Specialist roles where employers have a documented history of sponsoring work visas. Filtering by E-3 sponsorship removes roles where hiring managers are unfamiliar with the visa or unwilling to file an LCA. Starting your search there reduces the back-and-forth with employers who lack the HR infrastructure to support the process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Quality Management Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as quality engineering, industrial engineering, or a related discipline. Roles requiring only a general degree or where a degree is listed as preferred rather than required can be harder to support. Job descriptions that reference ISO standards, CAPA processes, or regulatory compliance frameworks typically meet the threshold.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Quality Management Specialists?
The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there is no lottery and no random selection risk. The H-1B visa requires surviving a lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection in recent years. For Australian quality professionals, the E-3 also allows indefinite two-year renewals and can be processed directly at a U.S. consulate, often faster than USCIS adjudication timelines.
Can I switch quality management employers while on an E-3?
Yes, but you need a new LCA certified by the DOL and a new visa or change of employer documentation before starting the new role. Unlike H-1B portability, the E-3 does not allow you to begin working for a new employer while a petition is pending. Plan your transition timeline so that your new employer's LCA is certified before your last day with the current one.
