Haptics FEA Engineer

The Haptic Engineering team develops innovative haptic solutions that are central to Apple's products, including the iPhone and Apple Watch! Our key goal is to enable the world's best user experience and explore the possibilities using haptics. We are a highly multi-functional team working in a hands-on environment that values creativity, engineering excellence, and passion for innovation. New challenges arise every single day that require the sharp analytical skills of versatile and forward-thinking individuals. We are seeking a finite element analyst to help us model complex physics and assess design concepts before they come to the real world. Come and join us if you enjoy finding innovative solutions with tight design constraints!

The ultimate responsibility of this role is to enhance our understanding of complex physics, which includes building accurate FEA models that empower the design team to uncover design weaknesses during concept development, or identifying root cause to engineering failures when physical measurement is challenging.
