Apple New Grad Software Engineer jobs
No central new grad program — entry-level engineers are hired team by team into ICT2 reqs.
The Software Engineer (ICT2), Early Career role
New grads land on one specific team as ICT2 engineers — for example IS&T AI/data-platform reliability, enterprise frontend, or wireless telephony software — with the team set during that team’s own loop rather than via a rotation. IS&T Early Career hires get an Early Career community with educational and social events, per the req text.
Apple publishes no cohort size; new grads are hired into individual teams through normal reqs, and Apple’s students page points graduates to the regular job search.
