About the role

Intern position on the iPhone Tooling Engineering team focused on turning industrial design concepts into tooling and manufacturing solutions. Hands-on exposure to precision molding, tooling fabrication, CAE simulations, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to support tooling milestones and technical deliverables.

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.
