Next Gen Computing (NGC) develops new concepts and capabilities for Apple products. The team brings expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, software design, and interaction design, enabling it to build fully functional prototypes that inform decisions across Apple. From rapid proofs of concept to live-on platforms distributed to dozens of internal users for longer durations, we can take an exploration as far as needed to enable our colleagues and stakeholders to get a hands-on feel for an experience instead of just an idea. We work across a variety of product lines and work regularly with engineering, design, and human factors functions to realize our work as clearly as possible. Our team offers a unique opportunity to inform the future of Apple products.
Description
Next Gen Computing team is looking for a highly motivated, creative, and design-sensitive product prototyping engineer to join our team to help build functional prototypes. In this role, you will be building functional, integrated prototypes and platforms that bring new concepts to life and generating the knowledge that helps Apple make informed decisions about what to build next.
You will help the team to move from a sketched concept to a hands-on integrated prototype with an eye for experience quality and reliability. These prototypes are meant to be used and shared among Apple stakeholders, so a relentless attention to user-facing functionality is essential.
