About The Position

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree or foreign equivalent in Mechatronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
Performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using simulation tools, including Abaqus or ANSYS, to evaluate structural integrity, mechanical feasibility, and design optimization and exploration of consumer electronics hardware architectures.
Building physics-based analytical models and simulation frameworks to rapidly assess the technical feasibility of novel product concepts and inform early product architecture definitions.
Using 3D CAD software, including NX, or nTopology, to model complex consumer electronics product architectures from early concept through detailed mechanical design.
Designing full consumer electronics product architectures, including integrating cross-functional engineering disciplines such as mechanical systems, electrical, RF, thermal management, display, and input device subsystems.
Designing and executing Design of Experiments (DOE) to characterize product and component performance, including defining test variables, analyzing results, and drawing data-driven design conclusions.
Selecting engineering materials and specifying manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal forming, injection molding, and additive manufacturing/rapid prototyping, to achieve product design requirements.
Designing and building physical prototypes of consumer electronics products, including fabricating and assembling functional mockups to validate form, fit, and function during early-stage concept development.
Organizing and visualizing multi-disciplinary engineering analysis data using data visualization tools to present design trade-offs and collaborate with Industrial Design teams on product architecture decision-making.

Responsibilities

Collaborating with industrial designers, product integrity, hardware, software, and technology groups to refine & execute on the design of the product.
Developing initial product layouts.
Generate concepts, simulate behavior, prototype, demonstrate & test to drive down-selection.
Partnering with external vendors & internal manufacturing teams to optimize designs for function, cosmetics and manufacturability.
Ensuring design meets requirements throughout its lifecycle by performing stress, tolerance, and failure analyses and supporting factory builds.
