Job description

This role at Apple involves driving product form, features, and technologies through detailed engineering analysis. The position focuses on designing and defining mechanical components and assembly schemes while analyzing structures to quantify device performance. The engineer will participate in the development of new manufacturing processes and support engineering builds. This role requires collaboration with external vendors and may involve international and domestic travel.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technologies, or a related field.
  • Experience utilizing 3D CAD for the detailed design of complex assemblies.
  • Proficiency in using Siemen's NX and TeamCenter for technical drafting.
  • Knowledge of mechanical engineering concepts for developing design requirements.
  • Experience with Design of Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
  • Ability to select optimal materials based on engineering material properties.
  • Understanding of mechanical dynamics for reliability testing under real-world stressors.
  • Experience using presentation design software to create informative presentations.
  • Familiarity with engineering practices for creating design requirements that meet reliability standards.
  • Knowledge of program management practices for creating validation plans.

Responsibilities

  • Drive product form, feature, and technologies through detailed engineering analysis.
  • Design, own, and define mechanical components and assembly schemes.
  • Analyze static and dynamic structures to quantify device performance.
  • Participate in the development and scaling of new manufacturing processes.
  • Create predictive models and conduct design of experiments to resolve root causes.
  • Assemble early prototypes and support engineering builds at factory sites.
  • Model, build, test, and refine prototypes and characterization test systems.

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