40 Role Number:
200396450The Apple Design Team is seeking an Applied Biomechanics Researcher to support the
development and design of future products. This is an active role where collaboration with an
immense number of partners across the company is necessary. An ideal candidate has fluency
across disciplines related to human experience, though focused expertise in biomechanics is
necessary. They readily move between minute details and big ideas. Comfortable in any
environment, their presence reassures others and solicits unfiltered feedback. They are
technical, but also extremely intuitive and empathetic, capable of expressing objective evidence
through compelling storytelling, championing the holistic human experience.Key Qualifications3-5 years research
Experience:
Musculoskeletal, soft tissue, locomotion, exoskeleton biomechanics, and sports biomechanicsPrior experience working in industry is highly preferred.Prior experience working with designers and engineers is highly preferred.DescriptionThe Applied Biomechanics Researcher will be an integral part of an interdisciplinary research
