Green Card Embedded Software Engineer Jobs

INTRODUCTION

We are looking for an experienced and outcome-driven Embedded Quality Engineer to help deliver a best-in-class camera solution for iOS products. You will qualify ISP firmware and camera drivers across every hardware platform we ship, ensuring millions of Apple customers get a camera experience that just works - through every new sensor, every new feature, and every commit that touches the stack. This is a fast-paced, high-performing team, and the work spans new hardware bring-up, new feature enablement, and continuous regression testing on every ISP code change.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will:

• Own regression testing for every ISP code change across multiple projects and active trains - discover regressions, triage failures, and catch issues before they land in the main codebase.

• Drive parity feature validation on new hardware platforms - independently own re-validation of existing camera/ISP features against new sensors, proving nothing regressed.

• Design test plans and test cases for new camera/ISP features - functionality, performance, power, stability, and image quality, and validate them end-to-end as they’re enabled, in parallel with development.

• Build and maintain automated tests so test coverage keeps pace as hardware and feature count grow.

• Collaborate with development and cross-functional QA teams to triage, diagnose, and debug issues to root cause; file high-quality, reproducible radars.

• Identify coverage gaps and flag risks and trends to leadership.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.

• 3+ years of QA experience testing embedded system products.

• Proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language.

• Experience developing system and feature level test plans and test cases.

• Experience developing automated tests for embedded systems or mobile devices.

• Hands-on experience leveraging AI-based tools to build and automate workflows.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Understanding of camera technologies, the ISP pipeline, 3A, video formats, and color space.

• Experience with quality test gating in a large, multi-repo embedded codebase.

• Experience designing, developing, or maintaining test suites using Pytest or other framework.

• Experience setting up, integrating, or maintaining continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools such as Jenkins.

• Comfort working across many concurrent trains/hardware platforms at once.

• Strong verbal and interpersonal skills, especially triaging with dev teams.

• Experience on successful, large-volume consumer products.
