From Home Product Reviewer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

What if the next defining Apple product lived in your home, woven into the spaces where you live? Apple Home Hardware is a team of engineers building a new generation of intelligent home products that reflect Apple's highest standards for quality, user experience, and design. We work at the frontier of what's possible in consumer hardware, integrating precision-engineered components, advanced sensing technologies, and sophisticated electromechanical systems into products that feel like they couldn't have come from anywhere but Apple. It's an exciting time to be in Home Hardware, and we're hiring.
The Product Design team within Home Hardware leads the mechanical design and integration of components, sub-assemblies, and full product architectures, working side-by-side with Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Manufacturing, and Operations partners to bring bold ideas to life. We are looking for a passionate, curious, and technically capable engineer to join us, take real ownership of the hardware you're building, and grow across the full product development lifecycle.
Description
In this role, you will own the mechanical design and integration of components and modules within a highly integrated electromechanical system, driving your work from concept through validation and into production. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Manufacturing Design, and more to ensure your designs meet functional, aesthetic, and manufacturability requirements. From early prototyping and design iteration to factory builds and design hardening, you will develop your skills across the full product development lifecycle.","responsibilities":"Design and develop mechanical components, sub-assemblies, and modules in 3D CAD and 2D drawings, owning your work from concept through release
