About the role

Photonics Test Development Hardware Engineer role at Apple Inc. in Cupertino combines hands-on lab work, software automation, and cross-functional collaboration to scale photonics tech from prototype to high-volume manufacturing. You will develop test methodologies, write Python scripts for characterization, and define equipment requirements while working with internal teams and external vendors to optimize throughput and yield.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
