TL;DR · System Product Design Engineer

As a System Product Design Engineer - iPhone, you will join the hardware team to focus on the development of complex consumer electronics. Your daily responsibilities involve designing tight tolerance components for prototype systems, developing test infrastructure, and characterizing various components and assembly processes. To succeed in this role, you must possess a strong understanding of engineering fundamentals including heat transfer, mechanics of materials, and precision fabrication. You will utilize Siemens NX for components, assemblies, and drawings while performing functional dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis. The role requires expertise in Design for Manufacturability, Design for Assembly, and statistical tolerance analysis. Additionally, you will engage with vendors to yield successful parts, interpret metrology data from FAI, and collaborate with electrical engineers to layout and build custom PCBs and FPCs.

What you'll do

  • Design tight tolerance components for prototype systems.
  • Develop test infrastructure for product evaluation.
  • Characterize individual components and assembly processes.
  • Perform functional dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis.
  • Apply DFM and DFA principles to ensure manufacturability and assembly efficiency.
  • Create complex 3D models, assemblies, and drawings using Siemens NX.
  • Analyze metrology data to derive insights from First Article Inspection (FAI).
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers to layout and build custom PCBs and FPCs.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of mechanical design experience using a variety of fabrication processes.
  • 3+ years of consumer electronics design experience working on complex products with multidisciplinary teams.
  • Solid understanding of engineering fundamentals including heat transfer, mechanics of materials, and precision fabrication.
  • Understanding of tight-tolerance fabrication/assembly techniques and mechanical drawing composition like dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis.
  • Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and statistical tolerance analysis.
  • Strong proficiency in Siemens NX for components, assemblies, and drawings (preferred).
  • Experience with metrology and deriving insights from FAI data (preferred).
  • Experience working with electrical engineers on PCBs/FPCs and engaging with vendors to yield successful parts (preferred).
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline (preferred).
