Do you possess a keen eye for detail, a passion for excellence, and a strong desire to contribute to extraordinary outcomes? We are looking for an experienced CNC Prototype Machinist Lead to help establish a new Seattle-based lab for Apple’s Vision Product Group (VPG). In this role, you will join the VPG team while partnering closely with Apple’s Advanced Development Lab (ADL)—leveraging their established processes, tool libraries, and expertise to bring high-quality models and prototypes to life locally.
In this highly collaborative position, you will work directly with VPG Hardware Engineering. Your day-to-day will entail preparing materials, setting up complex CNC Mill machines, programming tool paths, and conducting advanced metrology. Beyond hands-on machining, you will utilize your deep manufacturing background to offer design solutions and provide valuable feedback on machining processes that can optimize production cycle times.
If you are ready to bring your visionary thinking to a diverse team dedicated to exceptional products, we invite you to join us.
