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. In this position, you will join a team of computer vision and machine learning researchers and engineers to discover and build solutions to previously-unsolved challenges and push the state of the art. The Vision Products Group Product Design team (VPG PD) is seeking a CAD engineer. We design cutting edge consumer electronics products with highly complex surfaces and advanced engineering and we are looking for a talented CAD engineer to join us in designing, building, and executing our exciting roadmap of products.
As a CAD engineer on this team, you will play a pivotal role working closely with the Product Design Engineering Team in 3D and 2D CAD. You will provide support in advanced CAD surfacing, developing novel CAD tools and processes, drawing support, and generally levelling up the CAD capability of the entire team.
