Form of workSummary
We live in a mobile and device driven world where knowledge of the physical world around us is needed. We rely on this knowledge to get around, to learn about our environment and to enable spectacular new features for custom applications. Apple is meeting those needs as robustly and as creatively as possible and is interested in people who want to help meet that commitment. The success we are striving will be the result of very skilled people working in an environment which cultivates creativity, partnership, and thinking of old problems in new ways. If that sounds like the kind of environment that you find intriguing, then let's talk. These elements come together to make Apple an amazing environment for motivated people to do the greatest work of their lives. You will become part of a team that sets the standard in fostering excellence, creativity and innovation. Will you help us design the next generation of revolutionary Apple products? The Sensing Product Design team is looking for a mechanical engineer to build great experiences and bring Apple products to life. We are the team developing many of the sensors that changed the way people interact with their technology. Touch redefined the phone and tablet, TouchID seamlessly secured them, and the heart rate monitor let you keep tabs on yourself. In this role, you will be responsible for specifying, developing, characterizing and validating Touch Sensing systems. You should be familiar with sensor technologies, along with related product integration and manufacturing technologies.
Key Qualifications
Hands-on experience crafting mechanical components or systems for a production environment.
Proficiency in 2D drafting, 3D conceptual modeling (NX preferred), tolerance analysis, and design trade-offs.
Strong mechanical engineering analytical skills.
Ability to collect and use data to advise decisions and fuel debate in an open and intellectually transparent manner.
Clear and concise communication skills with ability to adapt written and verbal messaging for a variety of audiences.
Cross-disciplinary approach to design; collaborates with a diverse team as well as external vendors to solve sophisticated problems and achieve project goals.
Demonstrated ability to drive failure analysis to determine root cause and develop effective corrective actions.
Description
You will own the end-to-end design, development and validation of sensing technology into Apple's portfolio of products. You will work with a hardworking multifunctional team to generate design concepts, and as the mechanical expert you will be responsible for engineering analysis and documentation for your piece of the project. You will be expected to:
- Identify design tradeoffs and risks to choose viable paths forward.
- Apply good experiment design and the scientific method to reduce design risk early.
- Ensure a 'guarantee by design' approach with tolerance studies and simulation to ensure designs meet requirements over manufacturing, process, and reliability conditions.
- Drive issue resolution to meet Apple's high customer experience and industrial design standards.
Experience with high volume mass production or consumer electronics are a plus. In the prototyping and validation phases, you will support external manufacturing vendors with process development and root cause analysis for issues found during testing. Support for our partner teams & vendors includes domestic/international travel between 15% and 25%. At the end of the extraordinary team effort, your work will be in the hands of millions of people making a visible difference in their daily lives!
Education & Experience
BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
