DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer — Firmware Validation

Apple • Cupertino, CA

2d • Onsite

About The Position

We're looking for a DevOps-minded engineer to contribute and grow the AMS firmware validation platform — the CI/CD, infrastructure, and tooling that builds, tests, and validates Mixed-Signal IP firmware from static analysis all the way through hardware-in-the-loop silicon test.

Requirements

• BS degree in technical discipline with minimum 10 years of relevant experience
• DevOps/infrastructure background: designing and owning CI/CD pipelines and shared engineering infrastructure, with an automation-first mindset
• Strong Python for CLI tooling, orchestration, and system integrations against APIs, webhooks, and service accounts
• Hands-on experience operating self-hosted CI/CD (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar): pipeline design, runner administration, job orchestration, and debugging failures at the infrastructure level
• Proficiency with Git and the ability to integrate disparate build, test, and reporting services into one coherent pipeline
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to drive cross-team triage and keep stakeholders aligned

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the hardware/firmware development lifecycle; exposure to SoC bring-up or silicon test
• Comfortable working hands-on in a hardware lab — setting up boards and test stations and keeping them running
• Familiarity with lab instruments (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, etc.) is a plus; day-to-day signal-level debugging and board probing are not a core part of this role
• Experience with additional version-control systems (e.g., Perforce) or server-hosted Git platforms
• C programming or firmware development experience
• Packaging and versioning tools (pip/conda, npm, or equivalent) and managing dependency/release flows
• AI-assisted development and tooling (LLM agents, MCP-style integrations) for code review, triage, and automation
• Containerization / service-deployment experience (Docker, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Contribute and grow the AMS firmware validation platform
• Design and own CI/CD pipelines and shared engineering infrastructure
• Integrate disparate build, test, and reporting services into one coherent pipeline
• Drive cross-team triage and keep stakeholders aligned
• Keep hardware lab equipment running
