Woohoo! Getting close to a year since I joined Apple as Product Design engineer on the ridiculously feature-dense Watch.
It’s exciting to be working on really high-volume products again. The last several years of my career have been in deeper R&D but I’m surprised to find how much curiosity and discovery is essential to this role.
My primary focus thus far has been Acoustic Transducers and integrating them into the entire Watch System. There’re a lot of side-studies to push the design space, negotiation between other sub-system owners (ie. Battery, SiP, etc…), and deep analysis to give those gentle nudges to what the ‘visionary product’ can be.
