System Product Design Engineer - Mac Architecture

Summary Posted: Apr 3, 2024 Weekly Hours: 40 Role Number: 200545833 Come join the Core Integration Architecture team and help invent the future of computing. We’re a small team of experienced product design engineers working across many disciplines, looking far into the future to develop foundational core technologies, novel ways to integrate them, as well as new product architectures to surprise and delight our customers. The group is responsible for future Mac products (portables, desktops, and standalone displays) in addition to new product categories. We work closely with apple’s industrial design team to explore both the form and function of future products. Through relentless iteration on various concepts, we aim to create the best products we can possibly imagine. Along the way we collaborate with world-class specialists, from materials science & advanced manufacturing to thermal design & custom silicon engineering. As products come to form, we simulate, prototype, and test the reliability of our designs to make sure our systems continue to be the highest quality and longest-lasting on the market. Because we invent things that haven’t existed before, we place a premium on high creativity and the ability to generate imaginative design solutions — we create an inordinate amount of IP for a team our size.
