The Manufacturing Design team enables the mass production of Apple's entire product line from i Phones, i Pads, and Mac Books to the Mac Pro, AppleTV and Apple Watch. Part of the magic that makes all of this possible is a robust set of applications and systems designed and developed by Apple that support the production of a product from prototype to announcement and beyond.
The applications we build are used daily by the people at Apple that design our products along with those that figure out how to make them at scale. This includes Manufacturing Design Engineers, Product Designers, Mechanical Engineers, Quality Engineers, Supply Chain Managers, along with our Suppliers. We work closely with them to design and architect the best solutions for the challenges faced when making the highest quality hardware products.
