Additive Proto@type Fabricator

Apple • Sunnyvale, CA • 2w ago

Role Number: 200679345-3956

Summary

Shape the future of Apple's hardware products! The Applied Research and Characterization team combines expertise in mechanical engineering, human factors, biomechanics, data analysis, statistics, software, and advanced fabrication. We deliver data-backed insights for design decisions across Apple's entire hardware portfolio, directly influencing products launched worldwide. You'll have access to cutting-edge equipment and collaborate with multidisciplinary experts across our global sites. Few teams offer this breadth of impact combined with world-class resources. We are looking for a hands-on maker with expertise in additive manufacturing, and proficiency in a variety of fabrication methods to join a small, high-impact advanced fabrication lab that builds proto@types for interdisciplinary applied research. If you are equally comfortable in the shop and at a whiteboard, and you thrive when a designer or researcher walks up and asks you to make something that has never been made before - we want to meet you.

Description

In this role, you will fabricate high-quality proto@types in support of applied research teams working across multiple hardware products. You will work closely and frequently with researchers, designers, and engineers in a shared lab environment, translating early-stage concepts into physical form across a wide range of materials, scales, and fabrication methods. Because our proto@types serve internal research rather than production pipelines, the emphasis is on speed, fidelity to intent, and creative problem-solving rather than volume or process standardization.

Minimum Qualifications

3+ years hands-on experience across a broad range of fabrication equipment including 3D print (FDM / SLA), CNC router, laser cutters, and bench tools

Experience working with a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and flexible or soft materials

Ability to model and modify complex 3D parts in CAD and optimize for rapid

Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to collaborate directly with interdisciplinary stakeholders

Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities in a research environment

Ability to validate dimensions and critical features using metrology

Experience with work ticketing systems (such as Jira)

Preferred Qualifications

5+ years of hands-on experience with additive processes: 3D printing (FDM / SLA), powder-based additive, injection molding

Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings as well as informal sketches and verbal descriptions

Proficient in complex assembly of proto@types

Strong eye for design or visual aesthetics

Interest in learning new fabrication methods

Experience developing SOPs for assembly work

Degree in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, industrial design, or equivalent work experience
