System Product Design Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldnt have imagined and now cant imagine living without. Its the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

APPLE INC has the following available in Austin Texas. Develop the next generation of Mac and iPad devices and interact with engineers across many disciplines in the company. Collaborate with design marketing software and technology partners to invent new product forms and features. Analyze static and dynamic structures to quantify fundamental device performance. Participate in the development of new manufacturing and assembly processes with external vendors. Validate and characterize designs through multiple iterations. Create predictive models conducting design of experiments (DOEs) and failure analysis to resolve root cause and implement corrective actions. Create analytic and finite element models to predict the behavior of mechanical assemblies in various loading conditions. Create computer aided drafting (CAD) models of future technology investigations. Build assemble and test CAD models into functional prototypes and compare performance against predictive analytic and finite element models. Participate in team brainstorms design reviews failure analysis and other forums to share relevant engineering expertise. 20% International and Domestic Travel Required. 40 hours/week.
