Mechanical Architecture - FEA

Apple • San Diego, CA • 1h ago

Role Number: 200673632-3543

Summary

At Apple, great products begin with a deep understanding of the underlying physics. Our team is looking for a Mechanical Architecture Engineer to develop predictive mechanical models that enable next-generation sensing solutions. In this role, you will combine first-principles engineering, analytical modeling, rigid-body dynamics, and finite element analysis (FEA) to guide product architecture from concept through mass production. Your work will directly influence product performance, reliability, and engineering decisions across Apple's hardware products.

Description

As a Mechanical Architecture Engineer, you will develop and apply predictive analytical and computational models to understand the mechanical behavior of advanced sensing technologies and systems. You will determine the appropriate modeling approach, from closed-form analytical models and rigid-body dynamics to high-fidelity finite element simulations, to solve complex engineering challenges across multiple levels of fidelity. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will influence architecture decisions, evaluate design tradeoffs, optimize product performance, and improve robustness before hardware is built. You will validate models through experimentation, investigate complex mechanical issues using first-principles engineering and simulation, and continuously advance modeling methodologies that enable innovative sensing technologies.

Minimum Qualifications

Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree

Strong knowledge of solid mechanics, dynamics, vibrations, materials, and heat transfer.

Experience with analytical modeling, finite element analysis, and experimental validation.

Proficiency with Abaqus, ANSYS, COMSOL, or equivalent tools.

Programming experience in MATLAB and/or Python.

Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

M.S or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Structural Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field

Experience with MEMS (highly preferred), multiphysics, system modeling, multibody dynamics, or reduced-order modeling.

Experience with nonlinear materials, fatigue, and fracture mechanics.

Experience with DOE, optimization, uncertainty quantification, or statistical analysis.

Experience with simulation automation, surrogate models, or ML-based simulation acceleration.

Experience with ANSA, META, HyperMesh, or similar tools.

Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We seek to promote equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
