Job Description

Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group we focus on ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device’s identity as a whole. That’s because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience. Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS. By crafting these distinct, multidisciplinary user experiences, you’ll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices.

We work with systems in all phases of development, from pre-silicon simulation, to sample bring-up, to already-shipping systems. As such, you’ll be developing tests that will run across simulation, FPGA, new products, and existing products. You’ll be working as a peer to the software team that maintains existing and develops new Firmware features across Apple’s line of products.
