The role is part of the Product Design FEA team, focusing on predictive engineering to innovate and enhance product designs for Apple's future products. The team utilizes finite element analysis to drive the design of groundbreaking products and collaborates closely with cross-functional teams. Candidates will engage in testing and developing new material models while ensuring rigorous validation of simulations. This position requires a strong foundation in mechanics and a passion for creating cutting-edge technology.

• M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Structural Engineering, or a similar discipline is required.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in finite element analysis.
• Strong knowledge of solid mechanics.
• Experience with Abaqus, ANSA, and META.
• Experience with system-level modeling and simulation.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and written and verbal communication skills.

• Drive the design of groundbreaking products using predictive finite element simulation.
• Build and run product models for important design load cases.
• Interact closely with the cross-functional design team to define new load cases and product-level mechanical requirements.
• Help test, characterize, and develop new material models.
• Close the gaps between simulation and test with highly instrumented tests and rigorous validation.
• Be fully integrated with the product design team from the earliest stages to engineer groundbreaking products.

• 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. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
