Description
Apple is seeking an experienced Quality Engineering Manager to lead a QE team operating across a diverse and fast-moving product landscape. This is a second-level role: you will guide and develop a group of managers along with a Technical Directly Responsible Individual (DRI), while keeping key stakeholders informed on quality status, risk, and readiness.
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.
Minimum Qualifications
6+ years of experience in Quality Engineering/Quality Assurance, including 2+ years managing managers or leading multiple teams. Experience operating in complex, diverse, and fast-changing technical environments — working across multiple product areas or platforms. Experience supporting or driving test automation adoption within a team. Solid track record of "managing up" — communicating clearly with senior stakeholders, including surfacing difficult status updates and defending quality positions when needed. Experience managing through other managers, including a Technical DRI or equivalent senior IC. Good judgment balancing quality rigor against schedule and business realities.
Preferred Qualifications
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. Experience helping a QE team grow or adapt through organizational change
