Summary

When was the last time you enjoyed a box as much as the product inside? At Apple, every customer interaction is an opportunity for surprise and delight! This philosophy extends beyond the product to its packaging, where every detail is thoughtfully considered.

The Packaging team is a diverse group of people responsible for the design and execution of structural packaging for every Apple product, shipped to customers around the world. We collaborate with a wide range of teams, including Industrial Design, Marketing, Environmental, and Operations, throughout the design process. Our packaging delivers an outstanding unboxing experience, protects products throughout the shipping environment, and advances Apple's sustainability goals. Our work plays a role in Apple's long-term environmental initiatives by helping reduce carbon impact across one of the largest packaging supply chains in the world.

Description

We are seeking people who approach problem-solving with passion, creativity, and curiosity. Apple's approach to packaging is unique, so we value people who are eager to learn and further develop their knowledge of packaging design, manufacturing processes, and sustainable materials. We welcome fresh perspectives from outside the standard packaging industry to drive innovation.

Our team determines product and packaging integrity throughout the shipping process. Using data analysis and statistical modeling, we test products in their packaging to validate they will arrive at customers' doorsteps at the high level of quality expected of Apple products.
