At Apple, outstanding ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring your passion, dedication and expertise to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. We are seeking a finite element analyst to conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis of sensing technologies. Creating the world's best products means solving some of the most challenging and unique design problems. Please come join us!

Description

You will utilize your expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to solve engineering problems and discover creative solutions in order to enable robust and reliable sensor technologies. You will perform simulations that will be used to assess performance, design sensitivity, root-cause failure, reliability and much more. As an FEA engineer you will help address engineering challenges with a problem-solving, design-driven mindset to accelerate technology development and deliver world class products. This includes building FEA models, performing model validation and using FEA to provide critical design inputs to ensure performance and reliability goals are met. Simulation is a critical part of the design process and you will be working closely with product design partners, providing critical insights from simulation to ensure designs meet requirements. This position offers a technically challenging and rewarding opportunity to influence design and create real impact on our sensing technology portfolio.","responsibilities":"Generate finite element models/analytical models of sensor architecture
