About the role

Role on the Fitness Quality team to design, build, and maintain automation frameworks, tools, and services that power Fitness quality engineering on watchOS and iOS, enabling on-device test automation, scalable backend systems, and reporting to speed up innovation and ensure feature quality.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy automated tests and frameworks that check Fitness and Activity features end to end across watchOS and iOS, including paired Apple Watch and iPhone scenarios
  • 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.

Qualifications

  • Strong computer science fundamentals, including object-oriented design
  • 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
