This position offers the opportunity to impact millions of users by enhancing their daily interactions with technology.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is required.
  • A minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience is required.
  • Solid understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals including properties of materials, solid mechanics, beam statics, Newtonian physics, and thermodynamics.
  • 3D CAD experience is required, with Siemens NX CAD fluency preferred.
  • Experience with high volume mass production or consumer electronics is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with 3D Printers, CNC Mills, Lathes, and/or other hand fabrication methods is preferred.
  • Experience in GD&T, Tolerance Analysis, Statistical Analysis, and Design of Experiments is preferred.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end design, development, and validation of sensing technology.
  • Generate design concepts and conduct engineering analysis and documentation.
  • Identify design tradeoffs and risks to choose viable paths forward.
  • Apply good experiment design and the scientific method to reduce design risk early.
  • Run tolerance studies to ensure designs are feasible over manufacturing tolerances.
  • Drive processes to meet Apple's high cosmetic standards.
  • Support external manufacturing vendors with process development and root cause analysis during testing.
  • Travel internationally between 10% and 20% to support vendors.
