·FY 2025Job description
In this role, you will collaborate with multi-functional teams to develop mechanical designs that integrate new technologies for early-stage data collection. You will be involved in setting technical requirements, prototyping, and managing the mechanical build process for low volume system manufacturing.
Requirements
- Strong mechanical engineering skills including analytical skills, material selection, and manufacturing processes based on engineering requirements.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD and creating 2D manufacturing drawings.
- Understanding of real-world manufacturing and quality control processes including IQC, IPQC, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, and GD&T.
- Fluent in Siemens NX and familiarity with flexible and rigid printed circuit boards design, fabrication and assembly.
- Experience with thermal management, and optical, force, touch sensing technologies is a plus.
- Hands-on experience integrating electronics, sensors and cameras to satisfy challenging packaging constraints.
- MS in mechanical engineering with proven industry or internship experience.
Responsibilities
- Developing mechanical design of systems using 3D CAD, ensuring robustness and manufacturability.
- Creating and evaluating proof-of-concepts, working with machine shops and driving vendors for fabrication.
- Plan and perform design validation, including thermal analysis and reliability testing.
- Supporting assembly and integration processes for internal engineering builds, directing external contract manufacturers, and performing rapid failure analysis to mitigate risks and maintain project timelines.
- Collaborate multi-functionally to define and refine design, testing, and validation requirements, aligning with user specifications and operational needs.
- Up to 20% domestic and international travel.
Benefits
- Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage.
