As a Product Design Engineer on the Acoustics Transducer Design team you will design and validate custom speaker modules for Apples highly space-constrained products. You will lead the mechanical design of speaker module assembly and their components. You will partner with Transducer Design Engineers (who optimize the acoustic and magnetic performance of the module) and system Product Design Engineers (who integrate the module into a system). Working together you will balance the tradeoffs between acoustic performance mechanical design manufacturing and reliability. This role requires creative design work to generate 3D CAD and 2D drawings for speaker modules from scratch for all components including: plastic enclosures metal stampings insert molded electrical connections over-molded seals magnet system subassemblies and more. The designs will be reviewed by suppliers and multi-functional teams requiring timely modifications to address design issues without impacting project schedule. You are expected to handle multiple projects at the same time while working with multiple suppliers. Additionally you will contribute to improvements in the acoustic performance and reliability of the speaker modules by pursuing innovative ideas that bring the module to the limit of whats possible. This means developing new design approaches exploring different assembly methods introducing new materials and implementing new manufacturing processes. After parts are released for manufacturing you will ensure speaker components and modules can be manufactured in high volumes without issues while meeting performance specifications. This involves iterating on the design developing test plans generating reliability specifications performing failure analysis and conducting experiments (DOEs) to find design solutions and implement corrective actions.
Most of our engineers have degrees in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field but if youve followed a different path to expertise in mechanical design and engineering we still want to hear from you
Mechanical design experience generating 3D CAD and 2D drawings is required (NX experience is preferred)
Ability to achieve sophisticated geometry by understanding and influencing tooling design
Experience designing and selecting materials for mass produced injection molded plastic parts progressively stamped metal parts and the assembly processes that bring these parts together
Experience in the consumer electronics industry working with small or micro electromechanical assemblies
Proactive problem solving including the development of reliability test plans and conducting root cause analysis
Capable of working with global suppliers and guiding actions in assembly and part production facilities
Ability to use dimensional data to inform part design decisions including: conducting tolerance stack analysis applying GD&T to 2D drawings establishing datums understanding measurement techniques analyzing data identifying issues from dimensional data and guiding part quality improvements
