What if the next defining Apple product lived in your home, woven into the spaces where you live? Apple Home Hardware is a team of engineers building a new generation of intelligent home products that reflect Apple's highest standards for quality, user experience, and design. We work at the frontier of what's possible in consumer hardware, integrating precision-engineered components, advanced sensing technologies, and sophisticated electromechanical systems into products that feel like they couldn't have come from anywhere but Apple. It's an exciting time to be in Home Hardware, and we're hiring.

The Product Design team within Home Hardware leads the mechanical design and integration of components, sub-assemblies, and full product architectures, working side-by-side with Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Manufacturing, and Operations partners to bring bold ideas to life. We are looking for a passionate, curious, and technically capable engineer to join us, take real ownership of the hardware you're building, and grow across the full product development lifecycle.
