Form of workSummary
Do you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions? Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience should work? As part of our Camera Technologies group, you'll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. You'll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems, from sensor to lens. You'll collaborate with teams across Apple to research, design, develop, test, and qualify Camera Hardware for Apple products. Together, we'll craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their cameras.
Our product development team challenges are so unique we can't just buy our fixtures; we've got to make it ourselves. Our priority is to support Factory test team, R&D team and validation team by designing and building the most reliable and high precision fixtures and jigs for testing and collecting data that empower all of our engineering team to develop highest quality products. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be designing and evaluating fixtures used in manufacturing camera modules and in test labs to collect accurate data from engineering devices, identifying product requirements and contributing to research and project planning. You are responsible for designing camera testing hardware and work closely with vendors to meet scheduled deliveries that will support Apple's continued growth.
With your technical expertise, you will lead and manage projects, review supplier Tool Design, develop test tools and provide recommendation to improve process flow.
Key Qualifications
Minimum 5 years of relevant work experience
Proactive and highly self-motivated
Good critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities with strong attention to detail
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
Ability to troubleshoot failures and perform RCCA.
Understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) principles and drafting standards
Conduct detailed tolerance analysis.
Good fundamental understanding of mechanical engineering principals
Working knowledge of UG NX.
Experience with prototyping solutions, optical production-level testing fixtures and thermal management.
Project and product management experience is desired.
Willingness to travel internationally and domestic to support development builds
Description
- Support Test engineering team with required Test Fixtures and validation tools through the entire product design lifecycle.
