Mechanical Systems Design Engineer - Cupertino, CA

The people here at Apple don't just create products they create the
kindd of wonder that's revolutionized entire industries. It's the
diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the
innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing
technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and
help us leave the world better than we found it. Are you up for the challenge?

Apple's Measurement R&D group is recruiting Mechanical Systems Design
Engineers with mechanical and automation design experience, strong
communication and technical leadership skills.

You will brainstorm, design, develop and characterize metrology
equipment used to calibrate and test Apple's new groundbreaking
technology and products. Your design work will range from lab scale
systems-- understanding and characterizing tool capability at
sub-micron mechanical tolerances, to developing automated
mass-production measurement tools, where balancing the engineering
tradeoffs between precision, costs, lead-time and throughput is
critical. With great diversity of the problem space, you will rely on
your engineering background to architect the optimal solution for the
problem at hand, leaning on the fundamentals of materials science,
structural and thermal analysis, machinery design, automation and
manufacturing processes.

You will work collaboratively with a creative and diverse team of
experienced engineers from all disciplines including instrumentation,
core technology, product design and operations teams developing state
of the art measurement systems for Apple.


Responsibilities:


-Automated measurement system development and optimization from
ideation to deployment.

-Detailed mechanical design of manual and automated measurement and
calibration systems (including component and materials selection,
3D/2D CAD, mechanism design, FEA)

-Collaboration with vendors to develop measurement systems and
improve manufacturing and metrology capabilities and processes

-Management of vendor prototyping schedule and manufacturing plan

-Support new product failure analysis and continuous improvements in
product manufacturability and performance, contributing to the
production of the highest quality products available

-Support new vendor development to expand Apple's vendor base with
regards to capability, capacity, and geographical influence

-Requires up to 25% international travel to support equipment design,
deployment, and validation

About You:

-You have an engineering background (Mechanical / Aerospace / Mechatronics)

-You're motivated with the dream and ability to become an integral
part of Apple's talented, highly creative and dynamic engineering team

-You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills

-You know 3D CAD modeling systems and workflow

-You can apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) principles and drafting standards

-You love stress-strain relationships, static mechanics (determinate
and indeterminate systems)

-You get excited about kinematics and mechanism design

Preferred Skills:

-High volume electronics manufacturing equipment design, including
structures, sheet metal, plastics, fixture/mechanism design,
robotics, probe design, plating materials and thermal design is a plus

-UG NX experience preferred

-FEA (stress analysis) highly desirable, ANSYS preferred

-Plastic part design, molded part design highly desirable

-Metal and plastic materials science, tribology and wear principles
highly desirable

-Project and product management experience strongly preferred

-Mandarin written and verbal language a plus
