In this particular role we are looking for a senior design engineer to join our team and help lead future architecture platforms. The ideal candidate will have experience with full product architecture and all of the cross-functional specialties that need to be considered (mechanical, materials, reliability, EE, RF, de-sense, energy storage, display, input devices, etc).
In this position, you will assist in the following activities:
drive design from blue sky concept through a coherent and resolved architecture
contribute novel design solutions to new and existing challenges, aspiring to think different
prototyping new product ideas by 3D modeling, fabricating, and assembling mockups
BS Mechanical Engineering or equivalent required; MS preferred.
10+ years designing consumer electronics or similarly complex products
3D CAD modeling – i.e., NX (preferred), SolidWorks, ProE
excellent communication skills—your ideas are only as good as your ability to share them
Experience selecting appropriate engineering materials and manufacturing methods (CNC, forming, injection molding, rapid prototyping, etc.)
able to characterize designs, run DOEs, and conduct root cause failure analysis
genuine curiosity
Come join the Core Integration Architecture (CIA) team and help invent the future of computing. We’re a small team of experienced product design engineers working across many disciplines, looking far into the future to develop foundational core technologies, novel ways to integrate them, and new product architectures to surprise and delight our customers. The group is responsible for future Mac products (portables, desktops, and standalone displays) in addition to new product categories.
We work closely with apple’s Industrial Design team to explore the form and function of future products. Through relentless iteration on various concepts, we aim to create the best products we can possibly imagine. Along the way we collaborate with world-class specialists, from materials science and advanced manufacturing to thermal design and custom silicon engineering. As products come to form, we simulate, prototype, and test the reliability of our designs to make sure our systems continue to be the highest quality and longest-lasting on the market.
Because we aspire to invent things that haven’t existed before, we place a premium on creativity and the ability to generate imaginative design solutions. Future team members need to be comfortable in the ambiguity of the unknown. Some ideas will work out and some won’t, so we need to hold on loosely to concepts as we test them collectively.
