About The Position

Apple is seeking an experienced Quality Engineering Manager to lead a QE team operating across a diverse and fast-moving product landscape.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working across multiple product areas and technology stacks, and can communicate clearly and confidently with senior stakeholders — translating quality signals into information they can act on.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in Quality Engineering/Quality Assurance.
• 2+ years managing managers or leading multiple teams.
• Experience operating in complex, diverse, and fast-changing technical environments.
• Experience working across multiple product areas or platforms.
• Experience supporting or driving test automation adoption within a team.

• Experience managing through other managers, including a Technical DRI or equivalent senior IC.

Nice To Haves

• Experience at Apple or in a comparable high-bar consumer hardware/software environment.
• Working knowledge of test automation frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or scripting/programming (e.g., Python, Swift, or similar).
• Familiarity with both hardware and software quality disciplines.
