The Fitness team is shaping the future of personal health and activity across watchOS and iOS. Behind the features our users count on every day is the Fitness Quality team, a force multiplier for every engineer testing them. We build the automation frameworks and test infrastructure that let us test ambitious new fitness experiences quickly and with confidence. As a Tools and Automation Engineer on our team, you will be at the heart of this process.
DESCRIPTION
In this role, you'll design and build automation frameworks, tools, and services that power Fitness quality engineering on watchOS and iOS. You'll work across the entire lifecycle, from on-device test automation to scalable backend systems and reporting. Your work will directly speed up innovation and help ensure the quality of fitness features used by millions of people worldwide.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deploy automated tests and frameworks that check Fitness and Activity features end to end across watchOS and iOS, including scenarios that need a paired Apple Watch and iPhone.
- Build tools that simulate real-world activity so fitness features can be tested repeatably and at scale.
- Add automated test suites to CI/CD pipelines that run on every build, so regressions are caught early and engineering teams get fast, reliable feedback.
- Keep the automation healthy: find and fix flaky tests, update coverage as features change, and retire tests that no longer add value.
- Triage automated test failures daily. Separate product regressions from test or infrastructure problems, and file clear, reproducible bug reports with the diagnostics engineers need to act.
- Investigate complex failures across devices, OS builds, and lab infrastructure, and find the root cause so problems don't come back.
- Report results through dashboards and summaries that turn raw test data into clear quality signals, such as pass-rate trends, regressions, coverage gaps, and release readiness, for engineering and program leadership.
- Work with software engineers, QA engineers, and program managers from early bring-up through release to set automation strategy, gather requirements, and get teams using new tools.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Strong computer science fundamentals, including object-oriented design. A specific degree or concentration is not required.
- Proficiency in Python or Swift, with experience writing maintainable test automation or tooling, and a willingness to learn.
- Experience with automated testing frameworks (e.g., XCTest, XCUITest, pytest) and CI/CD systems.
- Proven ability to triage failures and find the root cause of complex issues across software, devices, and infrastructure, using logs, crash reports, and debugging tools.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including turning technical findings into actionable bug reports and concise summaries for engineers and leadership.
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience in software engineering, test automation, or a related role.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and version control systems (Git).
- Experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) for querying and analyzing test results at scale.
- Experience automating physical devices in a test lab, including multi-device or hardware-in-the-loop setups.
- Experience owning quality for new products or features during early development and platform bring-up.
- Familiarity with Apple developer tools such as Xcode, Instruments, and xcodebuild.
- Familiarity with monitoring, observability, and data visualization tools (e.g., Grafana, Splunk, Tableau) for tracking automation health and reporting quality trends.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship in Personal Fitness Trainer
Match your credentials to USMCA requirements
TN visa eligibility for fitness trainers hinges on your degree field, not just your job title. A kinesiology, exercise science, or physical education degree documents specialty occupation status more cleanly than a general wellness certificate.
Target employers with existing TN filing experience
Hospital wellness centers, university athletic departments, and corporate fitness programs regularly sponsor TN professionals. These employers understand the filing process and won't stall your offer over unfamiliarity with the visa category.
Request a support letter covering all TN criteria
Your offer letter must specify your job title, duties, degree requirement, and employment start date. A vague letter is the most common reason CBP officers ask clarifying questions at the Canadian border port of entry.
Search for TN-ready roles using Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Personal Fitness Trainer jobs by employers with recent visa filings and sponsorship experience. Use it to focus your search on positions where hiring managers already understand work visa processes, cutting weeks off your offer timeline.
Prepare for Canadian border entry without I-129
Canadian citizens apply for TN status directly at a land port of entry or preclearance airport, presenting credentials and the employer letter on the day of travel. No prior USCIS petition is required, unlike most other work visa categories.
Understand Mexican TN processing differs from Canadian
Mexican nationals must apply at a U.S. consulate and obtain a TN visa stamp before entering, which adds several weeks. File your consular appointment request as soon as your employer finalizes the offer letter and supporting documents.
Personal Fitness Trainer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Personal Fitness Trainer role actually qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as kinesiology, exercise science, or physical education. The TN category covers professionals in physical therapy and recreation fields, but CBP will scrutinize whether the specific job duties require that degree-level knowledge rather than general fitness instruction anyone could perform.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for fitness trainer roles?
TN is significantly more practical for Canadian and Mexican fitness professionals. There is no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and employers can secure your TN status at the border on the day you start. H-1B visa requires USCIS filing months in advance, lottery selection, and substantially more employer cost and paperwork for an identical outcome.
Where can I find employers who already sponsor TN visas for fitness trainers?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Personal Fitness Trainer roles at employers with recent visa filings, so you're not cold-applying to companies that will hesitate once they learn visa sponsorship is involved. Filtering by employers experienced with work visa sponsorship saves significant time in your job search.
Can my TN visa be renewed if I want to stay with the same employer long-term?
Yes. TN status is granted in three-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and the role continues to meet specialty occupation criteria. Renewals follow the same process as the initial application, either at the border for Canadians or through USCIS for those already inside the U.S.
What happens if my employer wants to change my job duties after I have TN status?
Significant changes to your role, such as shifting from personal training to a supervisory or administrative position, may require a new TN application reflecting the updated duties. Minor changes within the same occupational category generally don't require refiling, but your employer should document any material changes to avoid issues at your next renewal or border crossing.
