We are looking for a world-class mechanical engineer with experience in leading projects to join a team that is making a big difference in the future of Apple.
A successful candidate will not only need to develop new technologies and architect novel opto-mechanical modules but also educate a broad audience of people at Apple about their benefits and tradeoffs. The team features a broad engineering roster, including mechanical engineers, optical engineers, human perception experts, product design engineers, and experimental physicists, which presents an outstanding opportunity to influence and learn from a diverse group of experts.
Description
Your main responsibilities will include:
Design micro-mechanical systems using 3D CAD, such as NX, AutoCAD or Solidworks
Crafting micro-actuation hardware and leading various projects
Modeling and characterization of complex mechanical systems using FEA packages such as COMSOL or Ansys
Use structural analysis and CAD tools to architect new modules and assess their expected performance and limitations
Identify and implement critical metrics and specifications to deliver performance that matters to product specifications, and associated characterization techniques
Influence product-level decisions using tools and methods such as simulation, prototyping, and lab characterization
Build custom unit tests, metrology hardware, and perform hands-on measurements in the lab
Work with suppliers to develop actuation modules, bring up test platforms, and perform statistical analysis of data to determine performance and quality
Visit suppliers to support engineering builds and help with failure analysis activities
Minimum Qualifications
Advanced experience in related fields
Consistent record, from early stage development through to manufacture and delivery
Hands-on experience in modeling, prototyping, conducting design experiments, and analytical data processing
Experience with running finite element analysis, implementing failure analysis, and performing hands-on measurements, preferably for actuator applications
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master or higher degree (PhD) in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent, with extensive years of working experience, or PhD in a relevant field with proven years of working experience
Willingness to pick up novel tasks and acquire new skills is desirable
Experience managing domestic and international vendors is a huge plus
