The App Store & Games Product Design Team is responsible for the customer experience across the App Store, Apple Arcade and Apple Games, serving hundreds of millions of people every day on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Watch, Vision Pro and the web. Our team of designers and researchers design and ship product experiences at a global scale.
We are seeking an exceptional Design Engineer who operates confidently at the intersection of design craft and software engineering. You will join us at a pivotal moment. AI-assisted development has fundamentally changed what our team can build and how fast we can build it. This is a new kind of role for our team: a deeply technical builder embedded within our design organization, responsible for the engineering infrastructure, tooling, and workflows that enable our designers to build and ship production-quality prototypes. You will work alongside technically-minded designers who will be your closest collaborators, and define how our team works with code.
DESCRIPTION
Our team has moved beyond static specs and documentation. We build functional, code-based prototypes in Swift and web technologies, and in some cases our prototypes are adopted directly into shipping builds. We are looking for an engineer who can scale these practices, maintain what we build, and establish robust infrastructure for collaboration, distribution, and handover.
This role spans two technical domains: web-based tooling and backend experiences that power native Swift/iOS front ends, and native iOS/macOS prototype work in Swift and SwiftUI. You will be expected to operate confidently across both.
You will architect and structure code projects so that designers can contribute effectively. You will manage version control and collaboration workflows, distribute prototypes through TestFlight and internal platforms, and ensure that what we build is maintainable, well-organized, and ready for engineering adoption. You will take working prototypes and elevate them from proof-of-concept to structured, distributable artifacts that production teams can integrate with confidence.
While this role sits within the design organization, you will work in close partnership with our engineering teams - facilitating handover, aligning on technical standards, and in some cases contributing directly to production repositories.
You will stay at the frontier of AI-assisted development, evaluating new tools and helping the team maintain its technical edge.
This is a senior, independent role. You will have significant autonomy to define technical standards, establish workflows, and shape the future of how design and engineering collaborate across our products.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in iOS/macOS development (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit)
- Equally strong proficiency with web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React or similar)
- Strong proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and developer infrastructure including TestFlight, code signing, and build distribution
- Experience architecting codebases for collaboration - establishing patterns, documentation, and structure that enable others to build on top of your work
- Experience integrating with APIs, backend services, and data pipelines
- Demonstrated fluency with AI-assisted development tools, with a clear perspective on how these tools are changing engineering workflows
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate between design and engineering contexts with clarity
- Experience working within or closely alongside design teams, with a genuine appreciation for design craft, visual quality, and interaction detail
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with Core Animation, Core Graphics, Metal, or advanced motion and animation frameworks
- Familiarity with machine learning pipelines, personalization systems, or recommendation engines, and the ability to interface with these systems to improve user-facing experiences
- Experience setting up and managing internal tools, developer platforms, or prototype distribution systems
- Previous experience mentoring or enabling non-engineers in technical workflows
- Experience working in environments where design and engineering boundaries are intentionally blurred
- Familiarity with spec-driven development practices
- A deep understanding of the Apple design aesthetic, Human Interface Guidelines, and platform conventions
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 $184,700 and $324,800, 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
Note: Apple benefit, compensation and employee stock programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program.

Search Electronics Jobs in CaliforniaElectronics TN Sponsorship Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Which electronics companies in California sponsor TN visas?
Several large electronics and semiconductor employers in California have established TN visa sponsorship patterns, including Apple, Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and Western Digital. Defense electronics contractors such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman also operate significant California engineering centers. Sponsorship practices vary by role, team, and hiring cycle, so confirming with each employer's HR or immigration team is the appropriate step.
Which California cities have the most electronics TN sponsorship jobs?
San Jose and the broader Silicon Valley corridor see the highest concentration of electronics TN roles, driven by semiconductor and hardware companies headquartered there. San Diego is a strong secondary market, particularly for RF, wireless, and defense electronics. Los Angeles and Orange County host a mix of aerospace electronics and consumer hardware firms, while Sacramento has a smaller but growing presence in power electronics and utilities technology.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for TN sponsorship in California?
Roles that typically qualify under the TN engineer category include electrical engineers, electronics engineers, hardware design engineers, RF engineers, and semiconductor process engineers, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or scientific field. Computer engineers and systems engineers may also qualify depending on job duties. Roles that are primarily technician-level or do not require a qualifying degree generally do not meet TN specialty occupation criteria.
How do I find electronics TN sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by TN visa type, select California as the location, and browse within the electronics and hardware category to see roles where employers have indicated openness to TN sponsorship. This saves significant time compared to manually screening general job postings, where sponsorship willingness is rarely stated upfront. Creating a profile on Migrate Mate also helps match you to relevant new postings as they appear.
Are there any California-specific considerations for electronics TN sponsorship?
California's dense concentration of electronics employers means more TN sponsorship opportunities in absolute terms, but also more competition for those roles. California labor law does not add requirements to the federal TN process itself. However, some California employers, particularly in defense electronics, require security clearances that can complicate or restrict sponsorship for non-U.S. persons. Confirming clearance eligibility with the employer before applying is advisable for those roles.
