Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? Are you seeking to push the limits of what's considered feasible? As part of our Battery Engineering group, craft creative battery solutions that deliver more energy in smaller spaces than ever before. We work across subject areas to transform improved hardware elements into a single, integrated design. Join us, and you'll help us innovate new battery technologies that continually outperform the previous iterations. By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple, you'll push the industry boundaries of what batteries can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on the forefront of Battery Qualification Labs where you will help to identify electrical equipment used to qualify cells and packs that will be included in the next generation of products. The ideal candidate has a background in electrical engineering, test equipment and metrology.
