Software Quality Test Manager, Sensing & Connectivity

The Sensing and Connectivity QE team is looking for a Software Development Manager in Test to lead a talented group of engineers who validate the algorithms and AI models behind our location context features. We work in a fast-paced environment that depends on a tight relationship between test and development. In this role you will:

- Own the quality assurance strategy for our ML models and for the end-to-end experiences powered by location context, including validation of training data, features, and labels. - Set the technical direction for how the team validates these algorithms — challenging the design and implementation, turning assessments of AI model outputs into prioritized algorithm improvements, and holding the team to the same rigor in their own analysis and conclusions. - Lead the team in developing the automated tests, analytics, and monitoring that qualify features, measure performance and system memory usage, and continuously track quality across releases. - Identify the KPIs that define project success, build the dashboards behind them, and represent the team's results in user study, code, and data reviews as well as to engineering and executive audiences. - Drive bug resolution across the broader software engineering organization and with partner teams across Apple, escalating and negotiating as needed to hold the quality bar. - Work closely with development, program management, and cross-functional partners — from upstream hardware to downstream apps — to drive excellent end-to-end quality aligned with release schedules. - Set a vision for the team's future direction, identify new opportunities, and build stakeholder buy-in to pursue them. - Hire, coach, mentor, and grow the team — building on individual strengths and creating meaningful career growth.
