Description
As a mechanical Noise & Vibration engineer you will evaluate, objectively and subjectively, noise from fans, keyboards, trackpads, and buttons across all of Apple’s product lines as well as set limits for such noise. You will develop metrics to quantify issues, apply user studies to establish thresholds, and participate in cross-functional teams to find root causes of problems. Along the way you will work with module, system, functional, and manufacturing teams to optimize the sound of Apple products. We do not own any product designs, but we work with the design owners and provide design guidance where possible. You will work closely with other N&V engineers at overseas manufacturing sites, but minimal international travel is required.
