In our fast-paced, device centric world, Apple is constantly innovating to meet the ever growing demand for cutting-edge features. We're seeking a talented engineer to join our Sensing Product Design Architecture team and help us set the standard for excellence, creativity, and innovation. As a senior member of our Architecture team, you will be pivotal in shaping the fundamental mechanical design and performance of sensing modules. You will leverage advanced analytical and numerical methods to develop robust, data-driven design solutions for some of Apple's most challenging and cutting-edge features, ultimately deﬁning the foundational performance of products used by millions worldwide.

Description

Lead the architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules, focusing on robustness across diverse operating conditions and manufacturing variations. This includes leveraging expertise in ﬁnite element analysis (FEA), closed-form analytical solutions, and comprehensive tolerance analysis to drive fundamental design decisions. You will work with a talented multifunctional team to generate design concepts and quantify performance impacts through complex analytical models for various sensing technologies within Apple's portfolio of products.","responsibilities":"Lead the architectural mechanical analysis and performance modeling of advanced sensing modules.

Proactively identify, quantify, and mitigate complex mechanical risks and design trade-offs early in the product development lifecycle through rigorous analytical modeling and simulation.

Work with cross-functional teams to generate design concepts and quantify performance impacts through analytical models.

Clearly articulate complex technical concepts, analysis results, and design recommendations to cross-functional teams and leadership.

Drive consensus on optimal architectural solutions, fostering collaborative decision-making.

Preferred Qualifications

Expert proﬁciency in 3D CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo) for the creation, modiﬁcation, and preparation of mechanical designs speciﬁcally for advanced analytical modeling and simulation workﬂows.

Demonstrated mastery in advanced computational mechanics, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to model and predict complex multi-physics behaviors (e.g., structural, thermal, vibrational, fatigue) critical to the performance and reliability of sensing modules.

Expertise in analytical programming languages such as Python or Matlab for advanced data analysis, scientiﬁc computing, numerical simulations, and workﬂow automation. Experience developing and deploying scalable analytical tools or web applications to empower broader engineering teams is a signiﬁcant advantage.

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to distill complex technical ﬁndings for diverse audiences, drive cross-functional alignment, and positively contribute to the engineering community through technical leadership and mentorship.

Minimum Qualifications

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

Deep understanding of advanced mechanical engineering principles (solid mechanics, materials science, heat transfer).

Proven experience with data-driven design using statistical analysis (e.g., Monte Carlo, DoE) and tolerance analysis.

Experience designing for a high-volume production environment; consumer electronics or sensing is a plus.
