Lab Manager - Platform Architecture
Apple, Sunnyvale, California
About the job
Our team designs, builds, and tests the next generation of Apple hardware—the technology that ends up in products used by hundreds of millions of people. We're hiring a Lab Manager to keep our engineering labs running safely and efficiently so our teams can move fast and innovate. You will own the day-to-day operations of the lab, staying hands-on with the equipment, test fixtures, and experiments that engineering depends on.
DESCRIPTION
This role begins as a highly technical individual contributor and will scale into a people leadership position. Day-to-day, you will own the operational heartbeat of the lab: running experiments, operating and calibrating equipment, and directly supporting engineering programs. You will ensure the lab remains safe, organized, and available, acting as the primary technical escalation point when test setups are complex, or equipment goes down. Beyond daily operations, you will partner with engineering, facilities, and EHS teams to plan lab layouts, allocate resources, and support new equipment installations. As the lab scales, you will take on the responsibility of hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and managing a team of lab technicians. This role is designed for someone who craves deep technical ownership today and a clear path to building and leading a team tomorrow.
