Embedded QA Engineer - Camera, ISP FW & Driver

We are looking for an experienced and outcome-driven Embedded Quality Engineer to help deliver a best-in-class camera solution for iOS products. You will qualify ISP firmware and camera drivers across every hardware platform we ship, ensuring millions of Apple customers get a camera experience that just works - through every new sensor, every new feature, and every commit that touches the stack. This is a fast-paced, high-performing team, and the work spans new hardware bring-up, new feature enablement, and continuous regression testing on every ISP code change., Own regression testing for every ISP code change across multiple projects and active trains - discover regressions, triage failures, and catch issues before they land in the main codebase.

Drive parity feature validation on new hardware platforms - independently own re-validation of existing camera/ISP features against new sensors, proving nothing regressed.

Design test plans and test cases for new camera/ISP features - functionality, performance, power, stability, and image quality, and validate them end-to-end as they’re enabled, in parallel with development.

Build and maintain automated tests so test coverage keeps pace as hardware and feature count grow.

Collaborate with development and cross-functional QA teams to triage, diagnose, and debug issues to root cause; file high-quality, reproducible radars.

Identify coverage gaps and flag risks and trends to leadership.

BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.

3+ years of QA experience testing embedded system products.

Proficiency in Python or a similar scripting language.

Experience developing system and feature level test plans and test cases.

Experience developing automated tests for embedded systems or mobile devices.

Hands-on experience leveraging AI-based tools to build and automate workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

Understanding of camera technologies, the ISP pipeline, 3A, video formats, and color space.

Experience with quality test gating in a large, multi-repo embedded codebase.

Experience designing, developing, or maintaining test suites using Pytest or other framework.

Experience setting up, integrating, or maintaining continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools such as Jenkins.

Comfort working across many concurrent trains/hardware platforms at once.

Strong verbal and interpersonal skills, especially triaging with dev teams.

Experience on successful, large-volume consumer products.
