- Proven track record shipping at least one high-volume consumer product from concept to mass production.
- Strong CAD skills in SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar, and experience with FEA tools.
- Deep knowledge of metal and plastic manufacturing processes and their design constraints.

- Experience working directly with contract manufacturers in China, including on-site build support.
- Familiarity with integrating mechanical design around electro-mechanical subsystems.
- M.S. or Ph.D. and 6+ years job experience in Product Design, Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Responsibilities
- Lead mechanical design from early concept through mass production.
- Bridge industrial design intent with manufacturable and reliable hardware.
- Own designs across the full product lifecycle, from prototyping to volume ramp.
- Mentor junior engineers on the team.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define product objectives and create solutions.
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.
