Responsibilities
Fabricate high-quality prototypes to support applied research teams by translating early-stage concepts into physical form. Collaborate closely with researchers, designers, and engineers in a shared lab environment to deliver data-backed insights for hardware products.
Requirements
Requires 3+ years of hands-on experience with fabrication equipment including 3D printing, CNC, and laser cutters. Candidates must be proficient in CAD modeling and possess strong interpersonal skills for interdisciplinary collaboration.
Full job description
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 prototypes 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 prototypes 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 prototypes 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 prototypes
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
We’re a diverse collective of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. And the same innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. This is where your work can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own.
Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. Visit apple.com/careers to learn more.
