Why Apple? 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 passionate about 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.

Description

We invent the next generation of the world's finest consumer electronics. As a member of our Audio Product Design team, you would conceive, design, test, solve problems, and bring into production products that re-define the music experience. We work closely with many different multi-functional teams including Industrial Design, Audio Engineering, Radio Frequency, Safety, Hardware Engineering, EMC, Operations and Marketing. Expertly integrating so many different pieces into brand-new products means every single day is different. - Support build activities including finding root cause for failures and solutions for issues that impede build progress. - Building prototypes to validate function, manufacturability, and reliability. - Analyze data generated from builds and design of experiments. - Participate in design reviews to generate and receive constructive feedback. - Perform tolerance analyses to predict performance of mechanisms, sensors, and cosmetic. - Create specifications, detailed design and 2D documentation of parts and assemblies. - Work with operations teams to evaluate and develop supply chains capable of manufacturing new subsystems and products. - Interacting with vendors to develop manufacturing processes and tooling concepts.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS and above in Mechanical Engineering, or 3+ years of experience in mechanical design.
