Modeling & Simulation Engineer

Apple is a place where extraordinary people team up to do their best work. Together we build products and experiences people once couldn't have envisioned - and now can't imagine living without. Do you love tackling big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions? Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. An extraordinary opportunity to be part of our FEA Engineering group, we are responsible for structural analysis, validation, and optimization of mechanical components and systems. Working closely in highly collaborated environment with design, manufacturing, and experimental teams. New challenges arise every day that require the sharp problem-solving skills of individuals. The success we are striving will be the result of very skilled people working in an environment which cultivates creativity, partnership, and thinking of old problems in new ways. If that sounds like the kind of environment that you find intriguing, then let's talk!
