Product Design Engineer - Apple Vision Pro

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible — all while staying connected to the people around us!

The Vision Product Group (VPG) is a team of passionate engineers who are designing, prototyping, analyzing, and launching the next generations of new products at Apple. As a system product design engineer, you will be given ownership over a module/subsystems within the product and will be responsible for the analysis, assembly, and reliability of these parts. In addition to product design, this effort will include the development and execution of validation plans, the design of custom test fixtures, and collaboration with outside suppliers. You will engage in frequent multi-disciplinary collaboration with teams like Electrical Engineering, Reliability, Testing, DFM, SW, Industrial Design, Project Management, Materials, Manufacturing, Ergonomics and more.
