Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Do you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions? Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience should work? As part of our Camera Technologies group, you’ll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. You’ll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems, from sensor to lens. You’ll collaborate with teams across Apple to research, design, develop, test, and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together, we’ll craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their cameras. Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish! The Camera Hardware Engineering group is responsible for all research, design, development, test, and qualification of camera hardware for Apple products. This team is seeking a mechanical engineer that specializes in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to utilize simulation tools to evaluate and guide the design of future camera components and technologies. As a simulation engineer on the Camera Hardware Engineering team, you will take an active role in the design process and meaningfully impact the final product.

Description

Perform Finite Element modeling and simulations using ABAQUS and other simulation software as required. Work day-to-day with design engineers on camera design evaluation, validation, and optimization. Interpret FEA results and leverage insights to provide physical explanations that identify root cause and possible solutions. Recommend design changes to meet product performance requirements. Participate in team brainstorming for new technology development. Develop new simulation techniques and expand capabilities as needed.
