CoreOS Software Integration Test Engineer

CoreOS Software Integration Test Engineer

Apple

Cork, Ireland

Are you a big-picture thinker who loves setting ambitious goals? Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device’s identity as a whole. That’s because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience. Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. By crafting these distinct, integrated user experiences, you’ll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices.

We are working to take the build and test process of the low-level components of iOS, macOS, watchOS and tvOS to the next level (think kernel and low-level libraries). We don’t have all of the answers on how to do that yet. We are exploring, measuring and trying new things. We are responsible for validating nearly a quarter of all changes that go into our OS releases and affect 1 billion+ customers, so this isn’t just a theoretical exercise. We won’t be satisfied with anything less than outstanding.

Key Qualifications

• Unix operating system test development experience (macOS or iOS development experience is a huge plus);
• Debugging skills: Ability to examine debug out and recognize patterns in failures;
• Social skills: Able to relay critical information between partners for rapid resolution of issues;
• Understanding of key components of an operating system;
• Ability to work with the engineering team to root cause failures on short/tight cadence;
• Implement nightly regression test suites on multiple devices and raise failures in a timely manner.

The responsibilities for this position include the following:

• We investigate defects found in the OS submission process to identify culprits;
