About the role

Engineering internship with the iPhone Tooling Engineering team, focusing on evaluating tooling designs, running simulations, and analyzing manufacturing trial data to support precision tooling, molding/forming processes, and cross-functional investigations in iPhone component production.

Responsibilities

  • - Support tooling engineers in reviewing 3D/2D tooling designs, identifying potential manufacturing challenges, and proposing design-for-manufacturing (DFM) optimizations.
  • - Conduct computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulations (such as Moldflow analysis) and compare simulation predictions against actual trial data to help calibrate process parameters and tooling designs.
  • - Collect, organize, and analyze metrology and inspection data (CMM, optical, CT scan) from engineering builds to identify dimensional and aesthetic trends.
  • - Participate in root-cause failure analyses and troubleshooting for tooling and molding/forming defects during prototype iterations.
  • - Prepare structured technical reports, trial summaries, and cross-functional presentations to clearly communicate engineering findings.
  • - Collaborate with cross-functional partners, including Product Design, Material Science, and Operations, to track tooling milestones and technical deliverables.

Qualifications

  • - Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, Tooling & Mold Design, or a related engineering field.
  • - Experience using 3D CAD modeling software (such as NX, Creo, SolidWorks, or CATIA) to create, modify, and interpret mechanical components and engineering drawings.
  • - Experience applying fundamental engineering principles, such as statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and strength of materials.
  • - Proficiency in written and spoken English with strong technical communication skills.
