Mechanical Engineer

At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences. Imagine what you could do here. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. We are looking for a mid-to-senior Mechanical Engineer who takes bold concepts and engineers them into precision-manufactured reality. The role demands mastery of opto-mechanical design, rigorous FEM-based analysis, and deep collaboration with Manufacturing and Process Engineering — pioneering mechanical solutions for next-generation consumer devices from first principles to mass production.

## Description

The Mechanical Engineer works closely with Hardware Engineering, Product Design, Electrical Engineering, and Process Engineering teams, leading design and analysis efforts across the product development cycle.

## Minimum qualifications

<B.Sc>. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline

4+ years of industry experience in mechanical design for consumer electronics or precision hardware

Experience with optical systems design

Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (NX preferred)

Experience in failure analysis (FA) of mechanical and structural components

Strong command of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and mechanical drawing standards

Deep familiarity with consumer product manufacturing processes — injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining

Exceptional problem-solving instincts and the ability to drive complex, ambiguous challenges to resolution

Strong communication skills and ability to align large, multi-disciplinary teams around bold engineering decisions

## Preferred qualifications

<M.Sc>. in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field

Proven FEM analysis experience: thermal, static structural, dynamic, vibration, and drop-testing

Familiarity with embedded electronics platforms and basic EE integration

Experience with 3D printing technologies (FDM, SLA) for rapid prototyping

Track record of shipping products to mass production

6+ years of industry experience in a relevant field
