苹果Product Design Engineer Intern (Mechanical) - Shenzhen

• Research into materials and component technologies to evaluate development opportunities. • Design features and test to meet program objectives. • Conduct test failure analysis and solution validation to complete successful product development. • Detail part design and product documentation. • Field failure analysis and solution evaluation for production product issues. A day in the life As a Sustaining PD Engineer intern you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative consumer products. You will work closely with an internal inter-disciplinary team, and outside partners to drive key aspects of post ramp qualification, field return failure analysis and design/ production yield improvement initiatives. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment

The Product Design team works on developing and integrating technology into the next generation of Mac and its related products. We apply a genuine sense of curiosity and dedication to delivering truly innovative and relevant products that enrich our customers’ lives. We want you to join our cohesive and diverse family of Product Design Engineers to do the most impactful work of your life. In this role, you will ideate concepts, design down to the details, prototype & test, and travel to assembly sites to optimize the design.

As a member of design team at Apple, you will help to build the next generation of the world's most innovative mobile devices. You will conceive, design, and bring into production products that will re-define the mobile experience. We’re seeking someone with strong mechanical design skills, an ability to lead projects, and excellent communication skills both with vendors in Asia and designers inside Apple. You will be responsible for driving failure analysis, building prototypes, studying analytical models, and organizing DOEs as we study new designs. As designs mature, you will work on-site at contract manufacturers within China to implement and assemble the team’s designs.

THE ROLE The role requires strong engineering/physics fundamentals and the tenacity to apply that to hands-on problem solving. A team player mentality is critical, as you are the design representation on the ground collaborating with our factory-based colleagues. Tesla moves quickly, so being self-motivated and disciplined is critical. You must be passionate, but direction changes quickly, so you must also be resilient, boundaryless, and ready to adapt all the while being excited to do so. This role is for the hands-on do-it-yourself type personality wherein you take direct responsibility and direct action; be the first to jump into “driver’s seat” when solving problems. You will be mentored by a Design Team member in a cross-functional manufacturing environment and must be comfortable being outspoken and assertive while maintaining healthy and trusting working relationships with your peers. This role requires people skills amongst the technical skills. This role requires a chameleon: a high-aptitude, boundaryless “do whatever it takes” even if it’s not a typical mechanical design engineering intern role. You need to be the person that everyone says “that person is awesome; they know how to get stuff done!” You should be as comfortable with gloves and hard-hat as you are with a keyboard in front of you. RESPONSIBILITES CORE RESPONSIBILITIES • Help design and launch parts for new battery products à become a mechanical design engineer for part design, reliability & safety testing, and more. • Help the local design team for design-changes, trials, deviations/dispositions, root-cause analysis, etc à Think like a design-engineer: understand and uphold product function and requirements in your work. • Support local supply-chain parts readiness & quality à need to wear multiple hats at times and overlap with SIE/Quality teams. • Sustaining design work à BOM changes, part revisions, drawing revisions, scrappy bench-tests to characterize part/product problems, factory or field teardowns, etc. OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES • Create feedback loop between manufacturing and design and make necessary improvement to specs/drawings accordingly. • Collaborate with process engineering team to create and implement module rework lines, including kicking-off necessary testing to validate these rework methods. • Fully understand the factory process and equipment. • First-responder to yield excursions. • Root-Cause & Corrective Analysis for production issues. • Battery teardowns for field and factory failures. • Participate in design review and change control. • Support new line FATs. • Disposition of non-conforming material. • Own product improvements (cost, complexity reductions), scope dependent upon skill level. • Own and refine product specifications. • Participate in DFMEA’s and support PFMEA’s. • Analyze field reliability data of China market and drive improvements. • Own basic on-site component and system level testing to support design and specification changes; coordinate large validation testing for changes with global team. • Visit suppliers for part qualifications, design change reviews, line audits, etc. • Report to HV Battery Design Engineering Team based in California, United States.
