Full description
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. The people here at Apple don’t just build products — they build the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
In this internship, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on Apple products and leave a footprint for years to come. Our Operations team ensures that Apple’s groundbreaking designs become industry-leading products, delivered on time and on spec. It is positioned at the junction of Apple’s product teams, the industries that supply core component technologies, and our manufacturing partners who help ensure that products such as iPad, iPhone and Mac can be restocked just as fast as they fly off the shelves!
Areas within Manufacturing Design include:
Manufacturing Design Engineer (MDE)
As an MDE, you will:
Understand selection, implementation and optimization of manufacturing processes for mechanical enclosure subassemblies for our legendary products
Utilize mechanical engineering knowledge and work cross functionally with Product Design Engineering and Industrial Design
Review product features for manufacturability, and suggest processes and equipment
Explore new manufacturing processes to enable future product design and conducting design of experiments to validate process capability
Work with global supplier managers to identify capable suppliers, and understand their processes for capacity, quality and cost
Work with suppliers to develop and refine mechanical tooling, fixtures and establish capability and readiness
Assist post production quality and cost improvement activity related to fixtures and processes
Manufacturing Quality Engineer (MQE)
As a MQE, you will:
Utilize engineering, factory management and supply chain skills when supporting to develop high efficiency inspection equipment, groundbreaking quality systems and ultimately the best products available
Help create state of the art inspection and measurement equipment for Apple products
Apply your understanding of quality control and manufacturing concepts to help the development of specific product quality plans (PQP) appropriate to program and commodity
Support studies to implement improvements in measuring method where appropriate
Support coordination of quality engineering functions for multiple programs in the product category
