About The Position

Apple is seeking a senior engineer to join its Sensing Product Design Architecture team and help shape the mechanical design and performance of sensing modules. The role develops robust, data-driven design solutions for advanced product features and establishes foundational performance for products used worldwide.

The engineer leads architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules, assessing robustness across operating conditions and manufacturing variations. The work uses finite element analysis (FEA), closed-form analytical solutions, and tolerance analysis to inform fundamental design decisions. In collaboration with a multifunctional team, the engineer develops design concepts and quantifies performance impacts using complex analytical models across sensing technologies in Apple’s product portfolio.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Deep understanding of advanced mechanical engineering principles, including solid mechanics, materials science, and heat transfer.
• Proven experience with data-driven design using statistical analysis methods such as Monte Carlo and Design of Experiments (DoE), and with tolerance analysis.
• Experience designing for a high-volume production environment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in consumer electronics or sensing.
• Expert proficiency in 3D CAD software such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Creo, for mechanical design and preparation for analytical modeling and simulation workflows.
• Mastery of advanced computational mechanics, including FEA, to model and predict complex multiphysics behavior such as structural, thermal, vibrational, and fatigue behavior.
• Expertise in Python or Matlab for data analysis, scientific computing, numerical simulations, and workflow automation.
• Experience developing and deploying scalable analytical tools or web applications for engineering teams.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical findings to diverse audiences and drive cross-functional alignment.
• Ability to contribute to the engineering community through technical leadership and mentorship.

Responsibilities

• Lead architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules.
• Assess robustness across diverse operating conditions and manufacturing variations.
• Use FEA, closed-form analytical solutions, and tolerance analysis to guide fundamental design decisions.
• Collaborate with a multifunctional team to generate design concepts.
• Quantify performance impacts through complex analytical models for sensing technologies across Apple’s product portfolio.
