iPhone Product Design Internship
PRODUCT DESIGN, ENGINEERING
The nature of my work at Apple is confidential, so I am not able to share any specific information or images here. This page features a brief description based on current public knowledge.
I was responsible for the design, manufacturing and validation of a low quantity wireless charging accessory build. Adapted CAD for manufacturability, determined quality control & performance parameters to monitor production. Here, I collaborated with the cross functional team to inform failure analysis & material and design changes to maintain project timeline.

I studied surface friction to inform material selection to improve the magnetic alignment of the phone and the charger. I also supported the team by designing test fixtures and developing test SOPs, carrying out tolerance and failure analysis along with creating engineering drawings in a rapid development cycle.

I conceptualized a potential MagSafe accessory by leveraging market research and competitor teardowns. Ideated 3 variations with different complexity and size for selected user groups. Designed selected concept in CAD for prototyping.
