Summary

Apple is seeking a product design engineer to join the Retail Product Display team. This diverse group of engineers design integrated hardware solutions for retail spaces and special Apple events like new product announcements, developer conferences, and store openings. These solutions are crafted to produce the best possible first customer experience and introduction to Apple products
Ideally, you are someone who approaches problem solving with creativity and curiosity. Within our team, your responsibilities will span technology development and concept generation to detailed design, analysis, and testing through mass production of complex assemblies. The Retail team values engineers with a desire to acquire new skills and will offers professional development and the opportunity to learn and apply knowledge in many engineering disciplines including material selection, machine design, manufacturing processes (CNC, injection molding, sheet metal stamping, etc), stress and failure analyses, PCB integration, and cosmetic finishing. You should be an excellent communicator who is able to fluently collaborate with multi-functional teams within Apple like the Industrial Design Group as well as external suppliers
Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their best work. Together we build products and experiences people once couldn't have envisioned, and now can't imagine living without. If you're excited by the idea of making a real impact, a career with Apple might be your dream job... Just prepared to dream big
