Safety System Product FEM Engineer

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. Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation and failure analysis for next generation consumer electronic products within the Apple Vision Product Design team. Deliver high quality Abaqus / LS-DYNA models for large-deformation, explicit simulations. including meshed assemblies, material selection, and CAD checks. Work with vendors and cross functional teams within Apple to develop FEM methods, including automated meshing and material model development. Assess product against internal specifications and external standards, speaking to accuracy and confidence of simulation results. Offer insight into hypothesis-driven Design of Experiments to optimize product performance, including multi-variate optimization and tool strengths/ limitations. Improve processes by reducing turn-time from FEM request to data delivery by creating automated meshing scripts and SOPs. Expand current scope of FEM support, by building methods to assess comfort performance of wearable devices.MS in Mechanical Engineering 5+ years of experience with Finite Element Modeling 3+ years with Explicit solvers such as Abaqus or LS-DYNA 3+ years of experience with biomechanics or impact mechanics.
