Noise & Vibration Engineer

At Apple extraordinary ideas have a way of quickly becoming extraordinary products services and customer experiences. Sound is an essential and compelling facet of the customer experience. Apple has assembled an elite Acoustics team that enables our customers to experience music with delight communicate with clarity and enjoy elegant sound throughout our product Apple Acoustics we work with the utmost attention to detail directly impacting the design of products that millions of people around the world love! nnOur Noise u0026 Vibration team contributes to hardware design validation and troubleshooting to minimize distracting audible noises and optimize their sound quality due to coexistence activities on device. We are a diverse team of acoustics and vibration experts accomplished listeners and creative problem solvers. We work daily with multifunctional teams on innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. We are looking for a Noise u0026 Vibration Engineer to join our team. Could this be you

As an Electronic Noise u0026 Vibration engineer you will author SOPs test plan and specifications. You will quantify noises facilitate user studies establish thresholds in lab and factory environments. These will enable you to educate multi-functional teams to implement known standard methodologies and run studies to learn new best practices. The analysis of the validation work that you will lead will help you to better understand root causes of various problems. You will work closely with partner facilities overseas but will need to travel minimally.

Though most of our engineers have advanced degrees in Mechanical Engineering a Bachelors degree is required at a minimum. But if youve learned about multi-physics from adjacent fields in Applied Physics Electrical Engineering or Acoustics Engineering we still want to hear from you. nExperience as a generalist in multiple types of engineering work is problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced multi-tasking environment

Knowledge of acoustics and vibration principles and how motion of mechanical systems turns into radiated noisenFundamental knowledge of how voltage potential and current can lead to vibrationnBasic understanding of RF thermal acoustic magnetics and mechanical statics and dynamics (preferred if these fundamentals have been applied to acoustic transducers such as MEMs microphones receivers and micro-speakers)nAcoustic and vibration measurement skills with experience making measurements in anechoic/hemi-anechoic chambersnAccomplished listener with excellent hearing over the audible frequency rangenAbility to learn new coding languages and navigate large datasetsnUseful but not required: history of high-volume consumer electronics experience with ultra low-noise measurements and a background electrical engineering. Familiarity with sensing technologies and their electrical interfaces such as PDM differential analog I2C
