Job description

This role at Apple focuses on applying geometric dimensions and tolerances to ensure proper manufacturing and assembly of parts. The position involves developing and implementing new metrology techniques and performing tolerance stack-up analysis to prevent dimensional interference. The successful candidate will also conduct failure analysis and develop reliability test methods for modules. This role requires collaboration with cross-functional teams to improve manufacturing processes and ensure quality control.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience utilizing tolerance stack analysis for mechanical assemblies.
  • Experience utilizing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to interpret engineering drawings.
  • Proficiency in using ANSYS and ABAQUS for finite element analysis.
  • Experience with design of experiment (DOE) and regression analysis.
  • Familiarity with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and CT Scanning.

Responsibilities

  • Apply geometric dimensions and tolerances to ensure proper manufacturing and assembly of parts.
  • Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to prevent dimensional interference post-manufacturing.
  • Develop and implement new metrology techniques to measure different parameters of the module.
  • Use statistical tools to optimize manufacturing processes and implement statistical quality control.
  • Conduct failure analysis of modules to identify failure modes and improve assembly and function.
  • Develop detailed reliability test methods for the module and ensure test objectives are achieved.
  • Compile and evaluate data to determine appropriate statistical limits and variables for specifications.
  • Conduct Measurement System Analysis to manage measurement errors and provide robust measurement systems.
  • Perform Yield Gap Analysis and lead reviews with cross-functional teams on corrective actions.

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.
