  • Solid mechanical design and hands-on engineering experience.
  • Proficiency with 2D drawing, GD&T, alignments and 3D CAD modeling.
  • Hands-on experience with manufacturing automation solutions and robotic systems.
  • Extensive knowledge of fabrication and manufacturing methods.
  • Strong problem-solving skills to define and implement solutions for mechanical system validation.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written in English.

Responsibilities

  • Design custom hardware to test Apple wireless products from prototype to mass production.
