Apple's Platform Architecture Engineering team builds fully functional prototypes of systems that cut across domains and technologies. We're a small, self-contained group of electrical, mechanical, FPGA, and software engineers who take an idea and make it real. Sometimes it is a tool that teams across the company come to depend on, and sometimes it is a proof-of-concept for a product or capability that informs Apple's roadmap.
We're looking for a product design engineer to own mechanical architecture and design end-to-end. You'd typically be the mechanical engineer on a given project, working closely with the team's cross-functional counterparts, and often alongside domain experts elsewhere at Apple. No two projects look alike, and when one wraps you move on to the next.
Description
As the product design engineer on a project, you own the mechanical design from concept through a working prototype-defining the system architecture, building and testing hardware, and iterating until it does what it needs to. The work spans 3D and 2D mechanical design, electrical component and module integration, and manufacturing-process optimization, and it changes with each project. You'll work largely independently, with strong engineers around you when you need them.
Minimum Qualifications
BS in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or equivalent experience
Experience with a current 3D CAD package
Experience owning designs through the full cycle: concept, 3D/2D design, prototype build, and test
Preferred Qualifications
10+ years designing and developing mechanical products for consumer electronics or comparable industries
Siemens NX fluency
Hands-on experience with 3D printers, CNC mills, lathes, or other fabrication methods
FEA modeling experience with a major CAD package
Flexible in design approach, with attention to detail
Comfortable defining and driving the work when a problem is loosely scoped
A track record of creative, ambitious approaches to hard problems
Communicates design decisions and data clearly to both technical and non-technical partners
