INTRODUCTION
The Test Platform team at Apple is on a mission to provide innovative infrastructure and tools that execute billions of tests for internal engineering teams across Apple. We’re excited to expand the remit of our team and add new intelligent capabilities in the areas of dynamic test scheduling and orchestration.
We are looking for an exceptional software engineer to bring their knowledge and real-world experience in areas like intelligent systems, test execution optimization, resource scheduling, cloud services, and build/test/integration systems to build solutions that will directly improve the quality and velocity of developing software across Apple.
We believe that every engineer brings unique skills and perspective. Far more than any specific experience or skill, we are looking for engineers who want to build great reliable software and services, learn and develop their skills, and ultimately enable others to develop amazing applications. You would join a small, tight-knit group of engineers who build exciting new technology, and have fun while doing so.
DESCRIPTION
Our team owns critical tools and services used by the internal Apple Engineering community every day to execute tests at scale in the cloud, with a North Star of greatly improving engineering velocity and productivity. You'll find ways to combine our unique problem domain with established techniques related to large-scale test execution, applying intelligence to how testing resources are allocated and consumed at scale - from intelligent test selection, to optimizing device utilization across testing workloads. You'll work alongside our team to ensure Apple's engineering teams can get faster, more reliable feedback on their changes, enabling them to develop amazing applications and deliver the highest quality software.
You'll analyze requirements, constraints, and existing foundational elements to inform high-level architectural solutions that achieve high performance at scale, reliability, and long-term maintainability. You'll combine creative problem solving with data-driven approaches to continuously identify opportunities to make test execution smarter, more efficient, and improve overall testing throughput. Once solutions are identified, you will collaborate closely with the team to implement them while developing appropriate testing and operational mechanisms.
You will be most successful here as a flexible and proactive engineer who thrives in a supportive, respectful, and balanced work environment with interesting and challenging problems to tackle. You have excellent judgment and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions. You know how to drive constructive discussion of design points, learn from your team, and use your experience to advocate and teach others.
In your role as an engineer on our team you will:
- Spend a majority of your time working to build tools and services that improve developer productivity and contributing to operational and engineering standards used across the organization.
- Apply intelligent and data-driven approaches, leveraging signals such as code coverage and semantic analysis of code changes, to drive smarter test selection and optimize how devices are leveraged for testing at scale.
- Collaborate with your teammates to help refine problem requirements and work with teams to implement long-lasting solutions.
- Engage with other teams to help identify issues and establish long term relationships that include knowledge sharing.
- Provide valuable feedback loops to engineering teams backed by application metrics and log data.
- Drive areas of service scalability (resiliency, redundancy, performance) by collaborating in planning meetings.
- Develop expertise and be given ownership over components critical to Apple's success.
- Contribute to engineering high-performance systems through algorithm design, optimization, and performance testing.
- Design new ways to scale Apple's distributed developer tools and services to ever-increasing problem sizes.
- Have access to the engineers who create Apple's full technology, tools, and operating systems stack.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- BS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- Strong programming skills (preferably Swift or a similar language).
- Experience building, deploying, or maintaining developer tools, production web services, or CI/CD infrastructure.
- Experience with different testing types and approaches.
- Positive and respectful attitude in a diverse environment.
- Experience owning features from conception to release and troubleshooting production issues.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Strong interest in tools and systems that support developing, building, testing, and releasing software.
- Experience applying data-driven or intelligent techniques to scheduling, resource management, or optimization problems.
- Familiarity with Large Language Models (LLMs) and experience applying them to real-world engineering problems.
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 $147,400 and $272,100, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

Which electronics companies in California sponsor E-3 visas?
Apple, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel, NVIDIA, and Applied Materials are among the California-based electronics employers with established records of sponsoring work visas for engineering and technical roles. Smaller semiconductor design firms and defense electronics contractors in San Diego and the Bay Area also sponsor E-3 workers, though their hiring volumes are lower and sponsorship decisions are made case by case.
Which California cities have the most electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs?
San Jose and the broader Santa Clara County area lead for semiconductor, hardware engineering, and embedded systems roles. San Diego has a strong concentration of wireless technology and defense electronics employers, particularly around companies focused on communications hardware. Los Angeles and Irvine host consumer electronics and aerospace electronics firms. These three regions account for the majority of E-3-eligible electronics positions in California.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship in California?
Roles that consistently qualify include hardware engineer, electrical engineer, VLSI design engineer, RF engineer, embedded systems engineer, semiconductor process engineer, and PCB design engineer. The E-3 requires the position to be a specialty occupation, meaning it must normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. General technician or assembly roles that don't require a specific degree typically do not qualify.
How do I find electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa type, so you can search for E-3-sponsored electronics roles in California without sorting through positions that don't offer sponsorship. The platform aggregates electronics and hardware engineering jobs from employers with a demonstrated history of E-3 sponsorship, covering the Bay Area, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This saves significant time compared to manually researching each company's sponsorship practices.
Are there California-specific considerations for electronics E-3 sponsorship?
California's strict labor laws apply to E-3 workers the same as any employee, including protections around overtime and workplace rights. The Labor Condition Application your employer files with the Department of Labor must list the specific California worksite, so remote or hybrid arrangements that cross state lines can add complexity. California's high concentration of electronics employers also means prevailing wage benchmarks for technical roles are among the highest in the country, which affects the LCA wage requirement your employer must meet.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 electronics jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
