Are you a creative thinker and self-starter? Do you thrive in a startup-like environment and aspire to be a part of something bigger? Are you passionate about recycling and working towards a closed loop supply chain? Engineering Internship on Apple’s Recycling Innovation Program will involve you to solve the difficult challenges on the path to a closed loop supply chain. We celebrate diversity and the innovation that it spurs in everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts.

Apple is developing industry-leading disassembly technology to better take apart electronic products at end-of-life. Discrete disassembly allows a broader range of materials at a higher purity to be recovered from these products and integrated back into the supply chain — closing the loop on Apple products. Apple’s publicly announced projects, Liam and Daisy, are keystone projects to Apple’s closed loop supply chain goal and are a result of this program.

What will a Recycling Innovation Engineering Intern do at Apple?

The candidate will be responsible for R&D, design, testing, and qualifying of new recycling technologies to further Apple’s closed-loop goals. The candidate will work closely with the Apple engineering team to research and develop new recycling technologies, prove their feasibility and utility, and develop designs to enable the deployment of the technology.

• Take on the responsibilities of the Directly Responsible Individual for assigned projects
• Develop a project plan to work diligently towards finding the best solution for complex recycling challenges
• Likewise, combine industry research with hands-on experimentation to inform selected solutions
• Further, design and build prototypes to explore the feasibility of proposed solutions and inform the design of scalable systems
• Moreover, determine and recommend the best path forward to move from lab-scale prototyping to scalable and deployable process
• Also, generate required documentation to capture final solution details and transfer knowledge to deployment partners
