About The Position

In our fast-paced, device centric world, Apple is constantly innovating to meet
the ever growing demand for cutting-edge features. We’re seeking a talented
engineer to join our Sensing Product Design Architecture team and help us set
the standard for excellence, creativity, and innovation. As a senior member of
our Architecture team, you will be pivotal in shaping the fundamental mechanical
design and performance of sensing modules. You will leverage advanced analytical
and numerical methods to develop robust, data-driven design solutions for some
of Apple's most challenging and cutting-edge features, ultimately defining the
foundational performance of products used by millions worldwide.

DESCRIPTION

Lead the architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced
sensing modules, focusing on robustness across diverse operating conditions and
manufacturing variations. This includes leveraging expertise in finite element
analysis (FEA), closed-form analytical solutions, and comprehensive tolerance
analysis to drive fundamental design decisions. You will work with a talented
multifunctional team to generate design concepts and quantify performance
impacts through complex analytical models for various sensing technologies
within Apple’s portfolio of products.

Requirements

• BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Deep understanding of advanced mechanical engineering principles (solid mechanics, materials science, heat transfer).
• Proven experience with data-driven design using statistical analysis (e.g., Monte Carlo, DoE) and tolerance analysis.
• Experience designing for a high-volume production environment; consumer electronics or sensing is a plus.

Nice To Haves

• Expert proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo) for the creation, modification, and preparation of mechanical designs specifically for advanced analytical modeling and simulation workflows.
• Demonstrated mastery in advanced computational mechanics, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to model and predict complex multi-physics behaviors (e.g., structural, thermal, vibrational, fatigue) critical to the performance and reliability of sensing modules.
• Expertise in analytical programming languages such as Python or Matlab for advanced data analysis, scientific computing, numerical simulations, and workflow automation.
• Experience developing and deploying scalable analytical tools or web applications to empower broader engineering teams is a significant advantage.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to distill complex technical findings for diverse audiences, drive cross-functional alignment, and positively contribute to the engineering community through technical leadership and mentorship.
