Job Details
The Apple Thermal team is seeking a world-class Thermal Engineer to play a key role in the definition and design of Apple products. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that from initial concept to design fruition, all thermal objectives are met or surpassed, and the user experience optimized. Our Team is responsible for all thermal aspects of a highly collaborative, cross-functional design effort. To be successful, you will need to have a thorough understanding of heat and fluid flow with the ability to apply this understanding to multi-disciplinary design problems. Being able to clearly communicate complex technical material is a must, as is the ability to thrive in a fast-paced work environment.
Description You will be tasked with impacting product design decisions by providing reliable analysis and thermal insight. In addition, you will lead the design and implementation of thermal solutions and participate in design reviews and technology investigations. Genuine curiosity and a sense of design ownership will help you navigate technical challenges. You will also be responsible for:specification and optimization of thermal control parameters, definition and guidance of thermal and flow experiments to characterize materials, components and systems, analysis of system test data and preparation of summary reports, communication of status and results to cross-functional teams and management.
