Descripción de la vacante

Apple Inc. in Cupertino is seeking an experienced FEA Engineer to advance the design and qualification of battery systems powering its devices. You will develop high-fidelity simulations and drive decisions across reliability, safety, and performance.

Ideal candidates hold an MS in mechanical/computational fields, experience with Abaqus/LS-DYNA/ANSYS/COMSOL, Python, and proven FE model calibration. PhD and 3+ years in battery mechanics are preferred.

Formación

• MS degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Applied Mechanics, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or similar.
• Experience with commercial finite element analysis software such as Abaqus.
• Experience with nonlinear constitutive modeling and modeling of high speed events and large deformations.
• Experience programming in Python.
• Experience building, debugging, and calibrating finite element models.

Responsabilidades

• Develop high-fidelity finite element analyses to predict battery performance prior to physical prototyping.
• Deliver simulation insights that directly shape design decisions and qualification outcomes for shipping products.
• Validate model predictions against experimental data and iterate to improve model accuracy and reliability.
• Develop and implement advanced structural, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical models at the forefront of battery simulation technology.
• Capture intricate design details, cell chemistry behavior, and load cases spanning multiple length and time scales.
• Build coupled multi-physics models that accurately represent the complex interactions within battery systems.
• Design and deploy automated, end-to-end workflows from geometry creation through validated results.
• Leverage agentic automation, surrogate modeling, reduced-order modeling, parameterized design of experiments (DOE), and job automation for rapid design exploration, calibration, and optimization.
• Scale simulation capabilities to support multiple concurrent product programs.
• Experimental Validation and Material Characterization.
• Design novel, non-standard test methods to calibrate material models and validate simulation predictions.
• Define instrumentation and measurement strategies that provide high-quality data for model validation.
