Job Description
**Role Number:** 200672640-3760
**Summary**
We are seeking a hands-on prototyping engineer to build, integrate, and manage the robotic and mechatronic systems at the heart of our research lab. This is a maker's role: you'll turn ideas into working hardware, stand up robot platforms, design and fabricate custom mechanisms and electronics, and write the low-level software that ties it all together. Unlike a traditional AI research role, this position lives at the intersection of mechanical design, electronics, controls, and software — with room to contribute to algorithmic and research work as systems mature. You will work alongside world-class researchers and engineers, contributing to technologies that power the Apple ecosystem and, where appropriate, publishing in top-tier scientific venues.
If you love building things — turning ideas into hardware, bringing up new robots, and writing the software that makes them move — we would love to hear from you!
