About the position
APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Build quality simulation tests at scale that aid in verifying autonomous systems. Updating existing simulation configurations to the latest and greatest settings. Refining software requirements and software test designs to match user needs, and provide good coverage. Design and execute targeted experiments to identify bugs, and root cause presence in tests, libraries, simulators, or other software tools. Translate user needs for software simulation tests into technical design requirements. Demonstrate the success of simulation tests through critical analysis to ensure quality of the test pipeline. Identify next actions after identifying gaps in simulation, especially focused on enhancing software reliability and scalability. Collaborate with cross-functional partners to improve test generation methods and close gaps in simulation. Document bugs with all collateral, and work with the right cross-functional partners to resolve. Deliver quality tests with the existing and upcoming tools and APIs, and building machine learning algorithms and software libraries. 40 hours/week.
