Imagine being part of the team that ensures every Apple product performs exactly as designed — before a single prototype is built. Apple’s Hardware Engineering organization is home to some of the most advanced simulation and signal integrity work in the industry, developing the foundational methodologies that connect virtual models to physical reality. Our work spans every product line — from iPhone to Mac to Vision Pro — empowering engineers across Apple to make confident design decisions faster and with greater precision, all in service of creating products that enrich people’s lives.
You’ll join the Material Modeling Team, a group whose mission is to elevate simulation confidence to the point where it reliably supports critical design decisions. We deliver on this through two foundational pillars: methodology development in close partnership with product teams, and material model generation and validation across the environmental conditions that matter to real products. As a Material Modeling and Simulation Engineer, you’ll develop and validate simulation methodologies that drive strong correlation between simulation results and physical measurements — partnering with hardware engineering teams across multiple product divisions to accelerate development and reduce reliance on physical builds.
