Job description

Our team designs, builds, and tests next-generation hardware and technologies that power Apple products used by hundreds of millions of people around the world. We're looking for a Lab Manager to help us maintain a world-class engineering lab environment where our teams can innovate quickly, safely, and reliably.
Description
As Lab Manager, you'll wear two hats: you'll lead and develop a team of lab technicians/coordinators while also rolling up your sleeves as an individual contributor - running experiments, operating equipment, and directly supporting engineering programs. This is a hybrid player-coach role for someone who wants both people leadership and hands-on technical ownership. You'll ensure the lab runs safely and efficiently while also being a technical resource engineers can rely on day-to-day.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)
3+ years of hands-on experience working in a technical/engineering lab environment, including direct execution of tests and equipment operation
1+ years of experience leading, mentoring, or managing a team (direct reports, project team, or informal lead role)
Strong understanding of lab safety standards, hazardous materials handling, and regulatory compliance
Experience with equipment maintenance, calibration procedures, and asset management systems
Excellent organizational skills with the ability to balance individual technical work with team management responsibilities
Ability to lift and move lab equipment as needed
Willingness to work on-site 5 days a week; some roles may require flexibility for early/late hours around equipment deliveries, test schedules, or urgent repairs
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in a hardware development or R&D environment (consumer electronics preferred)
Demonstrated ability to switch fluidly between hands-on technical work and people leadership in a fast-paced environment
Familiarity with EHS regulations (OSHA, EPA) and chemical/electrical safety protocols
Experience with inventory/asset management software and procurement systems
Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work cross-functionally with engineers, technicians, and vendors
Project management experience or certification (PMP, Six Sigma, etc.)
Experience supporting confidential or prototype-stage hardware programs
