We are seeking a Multi-Disciplinary Engineer, such as Mechatronics, electromechanical, or physics, with a strong background in mechanical and electromagnetic design to develop future generations of haptic technology and actuators. The Haptic Engineering team is a highly multi-disciplinary team developing innovative haptic solutions that are central to Apple's products, such as the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple Pencil. Our goal is to enable the world's best user-experience and explore the possibilities using haptics. We work in a hands-on environment and value technical excellence and passion for innovation. New challenges arise every single day that require the sharp analytical skills of versatile and forward-thinking individuals. In this role, you will work on the development of haptic actuator architecture including concept generation, detailed design, modeling, design for manufacturing, and engineering build and validation. You will be expected to generate concepts and solutions to multi-disciplinary haptic related challenges, perform mechanical, magnetic, and electro-mechanical modeling to evaluate and optimize concepts and designs, prototype, evaluate, and debug innovative ideas, and design and define mechanical components and assembly schemes. Additionally, you will define detailed specifications and engineering requirements, participate in the development of new manufacturing and assembly processes with external vendors (including periodic international travel), validate and characterize designs through multiple iterations, conduct failure analysis and design of experiments (DOEs) to resolve root cause and implement corrective actions, and generate new intellectual property. You will be working in a collaborative environment with multi-functional teams that specialize in diverse areas of expertise. Your responsibilities will also include collaborating with the design studio and system engineering groups to define and achieve experience goals, designing for manufacturability with Process, Manufacturing Design, Technical Operations, and other cross-functional teams, and communicating multi-functionally and throughout the management structure on a regular basis (written, verbal, and presentation). You will manage and track multiple priorities within schedule requirements and lead design reviews and design documentation releases.
