Job Summary:

Apple is a leading technology company known for its innovative products and customer experiences. They are seeking a Product Design Engineer to join their Acoustics Transducer Design team, where the role involves designing and validating custom speaker modules for Apple’s products while collaborating with various engineering teams to balance acoustic performance and mechanical design.

Responsibilities:

• Design and validate custom speaker modules for Apple’s highly space-constrained products.

• Lead the mechanical design of speaker module assembly and their components.

• Partner with Transducer Design Engineers and system Product Design Engineers to balance tradeoffs between acoustic performance, mechanical design, manufacturing, and reliability.

• Generate 3D CAD and 2D drawings for speaker modules from scratch for all components, including plastic enclosures, metal stampings, insert molded electrical connections, over-molded seals, and magnet system subassemblies.

• Review designs with suppliers and multi-functional teams, requiring timely modifications to address design issues without impacting project schedule.

• Handle multiple projects at the same time while working with multiple suppliers.

• Contribute to improvements in the acoustic performance and reliability of the speaker modules by pursuing innovative ideas.

• Develop new design approaches, explore different assembly methods, introduce new materials, and implement new manufacturing processes.

• Ensure speaker components and modules can be manufactured in high volumes without issues while meeting performance specifications after parts are released for manufacturing.

• Iterate on the design, develop test plans, generate reliability specifications, perform failure analysis, and conduct experiments (DOEs) to find design solutions and implement corrective actions.

Qualifications:

Required:

• Most of our engineers have degrees in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field, but if you’ve followed a different path to expertise in mechanical design and engineering, we still want to hear from you

• Mechanical design experience generating 3D CAD and 2D drawings is required (NX experience is preferred)

Preferred:

• Ability to achieve sophisticated geometry by understanding and influencing tooling design

• Experience designing and selecting materials for mass produced injection molded plastic parts, progressively stamped metal parts, and the assembly processes that bring these parts together

• Experience in the consumer electronics industry working with small or micro electromechanical assemblies

• Proactive problem solving, including the development of reliability test plans and conducting root cause analysis

• Capable of working with global suppliers and guiding actions in assembly and part production facilities

• Ability to use dimensional data to inform part design decisions including: conducting tolerance stack analysis, applying GD&T to 2D drawings, establishing datums, understanding measurement techniques, analyzing data, identifying issues from dimensional data, and guiding part quality improvements

Company:

Apple is a technology company that designs, manufactures, and markets consumer electronics, personal computers, and software. Founded in 1976, the company is headquartered in Cupertino, California, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Public Company.
