  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering or related field of study with at least 3 years of experience in mechanical design.
  • Background contributing to electromechanical system design across multiple phases of development, from concept through production.
  • Knowledge of 3D CAD software such as NX or SolidWorks to produce production-ready models and author 2D drawing packages.
  • Application of design for manufacturability across plastics and metals, including molding, machining, casting, stamping, and 3D printing.
  • Understanding of electromechanical systems including mechanical, electrical, and thermal integration.
  • Execution of design of experiments (DOEs) to validate tools, fixtures, or processes.
  • Utilization of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), first article inspection (FAI), and process capability index (Cpk) practices on 2D drawings.
  • Familiarity with prototyping, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • History of communicating technical information to cross-functional and non-technical audiences.
  • Proficiency in Mandarin Chinese.

Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver electromechanical tools and fixtures for Apple product repair.
  • Contribute to the full development lifecycle from concept to production ramp.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and validate designs.
  • Engage in electrical engineering design decisions at the system level.
  • Manage multiple concurrent programs and create necessary documentation such as PRDs and BOMs.
  • Work with international suppliers throughout product development and production ramp.
  • Ensure compliance with global safety certification programs such as UL or CE.

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.
