Employer job description
From Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Apple, innovative ideas become extraordinary products through deep engineering rigor and strong cross-functional collaboration. The DFM R&D Lab plays a critical role in developing the materials, processes, and predictive modeling frameworks that enable advanced semiconductor packaging and microelectronics technologies to scale reliably to high-volume manufacturing.
We are seeking an R&D Engineer who is excited to solve complex mechanical challenges, connect simulation with real-world data, and influence product decisions through thoughtful, physics-based analysis.
Description
This position blends finite element simulation with hands-on materials characterization. You will work on semiconductor packages, PCB systems, and SMT assemblies — developing predictive models that inform design direction, reliability strategy, and manufacturing readiness. You’ll partner closely with design, reliability, and manufacturing teams to define key load cases, build and validate material models, and reduce risk early in development.
