Product Design Engineer - Channel Store Product Design

Apple • Cupertino, CA • 4h ago

Role Number: 200669912-0836

Summary

Apple's retail presence extends far beyond its iconic stores-with over 30 times more Apple partner stores than Apple Retail locations, the channel store environment represents the greatest opportunity for customers to discover and experience Apple products. As an emerging engineering team within the Channel, Retail and Events PD org, the Channel Store Product Design (CSPD) team designs store fixtures that bring Apple's products to life across an expansive and diverse global network of partner stores. By balancing beauty, safety, sustainability, and reliability, the team delivers the exceptional experiences Apple customers expect.

We are seeking a creative problem solver to take on unique design challenges and the ambiguity that comes with an early-stage team. The CSPD team provides unique opportunities for learning and applying knowledge across many engineering disciplines, and values those with a desire to acquire new skills and further their professional development. The CSPD team welcomes diverse backgrounds, opinions, and perspectives-drawing fresh influences from outside the standard retail and furniture industries to drive innovation in meaningful and unexpected ways.

Description

The Channel Store Product Design Engineer will develop a deep understanding of program design goals-including installation and maintenance requirements, aesthetic design objectives, and safety standards. In this role, the engineer will guide vendors through the design of a wide variety of store fixtures, creating solutions that effectively merchandise and showcase Apple products while enabling essential in-store functionality for store employees. Reporting to the Channel Store Product Design Manager within the Channel, Retail and Events PD org, this individual will work cross-functionally, demonstrating the ability to actively listen to input from a wide range of partners, thoughtfully challenge assumptions when needed, and fully commit to driving solutions forward once a path is determined.
