Summary

At Apple, new ideas have a way of quickly becoming extraordinary products, services and customer experiences. Sound is an essential and compelling facet of the customer experience - Apple has assembled a world-class Acoustics team that enables our customers to experience music with delight, communicate with clarity and appreciate our products without disturbance from noise. In Apple Acoustics we work with obsessive attention to detail, directly contributing to products that ship to millions of people around the world!

Within Acoustics, Our Noise & Vibration team contributes to hardware design, validation, and troubleshooting to minimize distracting audible noises and optimize their sound quality. We are a mixed team of acoustics and vibration experts, accomplished listeners, and creative problem solvers. We work daily with multi-functional teams to find innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. We are looking for an N&V Simulation Engineer to help take Apple products to the next level. Could this be you?

Description

An N&V Simulation Engineer on the N&V team analyzes dynamic and acoustic behaviors to support the development of almost all Apple hardware products. You will work closely with other N&V teams with root-cause identification and experimental/simulation correlation studies. You will apply these learnings and leverage your structural dynamics expertise to optimize designs and develop effective solutions to technical challenges. This role involves close collaboration with multiple cross-functional teams across Apple. A broad knowledge base and strong communication skills are needed.

Minimum Qualifications

• Most of our simulation engineers have advanced degrees in Mechanical Engineering or an equivalent field. If you’ve followed a different path to expertise in acoustics, vibration, noise control, we still want to hear from you.

• A lover of learning new tools and software packages when needed

• A creative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced multi-tasking environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong background in structural dynamics and system level simulation, with 2+ years of experience in the noise and vibration field

• Extensive experience with simulation packages, such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, Maxwell…

• Experience in product noise & vibration root cause identification

• Experience in Matlab for in-house solver development and data post-processing

• Knowledge of machine learning and its application to structural simulation is a plus

• Some experience in non-linear systems, including material and geometry non-linearity
