Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

Description

APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Design and develop 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models of new display module architectures using Siemens NX software. Develop and release display module mechanical component outlines (MCO) with compliance to Apple standards and GD&T rules and sending to external vendors for design for manufacturability (DFM) assessment. Coordinate, design, and evaluate engineering DOEs to determine the most feasible design and process parameters. Conduct worst-case and RSS tolerance analysis using CTE, and CHE methods to determine boundary feature sizes. Solve ongoing program issues using failure analysis and corrective action (FACA) between Apple cross-functional team members, external vendors, and presenting to upper management. Develop and release detailed ERS documents to ensure products meet reliability requirements. Communicate with cross-functional team members and external vendors to meet common design and build goals. 40 hours/week.
