About the role

Engineer focused on automating and applying AI tools to finite element analysis workflows within Apple's Product Design FEA team, driving AI-powered transformation of FEA from model setup to post-processing and reporting for multiple product lines.

Responsibilities

  • Drive automation and AI-powered transformation of the FEA workflow—from model setup through post-processing and reporting.
  • Design, build, and deploy automation tooling (ANSA, META, etc.) and AI agents to reduce manual effort, accelerate simulation turnaround, and improve consistency across product programs.
  • Identify repetitive or error-prone steps in the FEA pipeline, architect scripted or agent-based solutions, and integrate LLM/ML capabilities into day-to-day FEA practice.
  • Partner with FEA engineers, infrastructure owners, and commercial software vendors to ensure tools are robust, validated, and adopted across the organization.
  • Serve as a bridge across product lines to share automation and AI capabilities within the broader FEA community.

Qualifications

  • B.S./M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mechanics, or a similar discipline, with 3+ years of relevant experience in engineering automation or software development.
  • Strong knowledge of solid mechanics and finite element analysis (implicit and/or explicit FEA).
  • Demonstrated software development experience in Python, including production-quality scripts, libraries, or tools.
  • Experience automating engineering workflows (e.g., pre-/post-processing scripting, batch job orchestration, tool integration).
  • Attention to detail and a commitment to verification/validation of automated tools and AI-generated outputs.
  • Fluency with professional software practices such as git-based workflows and code review.
  • Desire to work in a fast-paced environment with a passion for building tools that accelerate cutting-edge product development.
