Cupertino, California
The materials science group within the Product Design Engineering team is looking for interns available between Sep 2023 - Aug 2024.
The Apple internship program gives students tremendous hands on experience developing materials design and laboratory skills which directly impact Apple’s line of products. All of Apple’s products start with the materials team working closely with the product designers to develop and specify the best material for each application, whether it is a new high strength alloy, a new recycled polymer material, or the strongest glass available on the market. We hope there are talented, hard working undergrads or graduate students that would be interested in spending up to one year with us in Cupertino in this role.
While we can employ students for the summer of 2024 under this program, we strongly prefer candidates who are available for more than one semester during the fiscal year (e.g. spring + summer). Due to the steep initial learning curve, we’ve observed the most effective and impactful internship experiences have occurred for students who have been able to intern for longer durations.
We ask that you please circulate this application amongst your students, and also appreciate any personal recommendations from professors.
Apply now
Students can apply at MaterialsInternships@group.apple.com per the instructions provided.
Application Deadline: 1st of each month

Interpret/analyze microstructural/macrostructural features of the material using materials analysis techniques and imaging/analysis software per applicable specifications and purchase order requirements.
Review and interpret material specification and customer requirements/RFQs to determine feasibility and expected costs.
Perform failure analysis investigations to determine mode of failure and, if possible, root cause of failure of customer’s components/products. Compose final summary report to customer.
Communicate with customers, as needed, regarding nonconformances, scope of work issues/questions or unexpected analytical results.
Assist with managing R&D projects, which includes providing technical guidance and justifications when necessary.
Communicate with customers (verbal and written) regarding findings, interpretation, and clarification of results.
Review, design, write, and test new procedures (and oversee subsequent implementation).
Perform final review of analytical reports for thoroughness and accuracy.
Assist in heat treatment decisions and oversight.

he Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) program and the Renewable Energy and Sustainability Institute (RASEI) at the University of Colorado Boulder are excited to announce for the second year in a row, a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates in “Engineering Materials for a Healthy World.” Research areas are broad and include health, biotechnology, sustainability, renewable energy, and many more. The research experience will be complemented with seminars on science justice and policy, professional development, and planned social activities in and around Boulder, CO.
This is a 10-week research intensive program that will run May 22, 2023-July 28, 2023 and will include a stipend, housing and travel assistance. Information about the program and application portal can be found at this link. Due to the funding mechanism, the REU program is limited to US citizens and permanent residents.
MSE and RASEI are interdisciplinary programs. We encourage students who are interested in research and from engineering majors (chemical, civil & environmental, computer science, electrical & computer, and mechanical) and science majors (chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics) to apply.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Stephanie Bryant at sbryant@colorado.edu.

Planned Program Dates: May 30, 2023 – August 4, 2023
In mechanochemistry, the application of mechanical force can help drive reactions at lower temperatures and without the use of solvents, making it a green approach to chemical synthesis. A key challenge, however, is the lack of understanding of how precise forces can be applied to chemical systems to obtain specific products. The cross-cutting nature of mechanochemistry blends chemistry, materials science, engineering, and physics, and thus lends itself to a unique research experience for students. Our diverse team of faculty has a strong record of supporting integrative, interdisciplinary, collaborative research activities, and in fostering an inclusive and supportive climate that welcomes and supports everyone. Participation in our REU program will allow students to gain experience in team-based research and afford them the opportunity for professional development in science communications, entrepreneurship and innovation, STEM policy, and STEM history. All of these aspects will support and foster collaboration across multiple research disciplines. Students in the CMCC REU will interact across our multiinstitutional center via team based projects, and will receive personal mentoring from multiple faculty and graduate students. REU students will also participate in our summer Center retreat.
Students in our REU Program will receive the following:
ELIGIBILITY
This is a competitive program open to undergraduates in chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering, or mechanical engineering majors (or closely related fields) enrolled in 4-year U.S. colleges and universities who have completed at least their first year with a 3.0 GPA or better. Two letters of recommendation will also be required. Students should not be in their final year of study (i.e. graduating before the REU program begins). We particularly encourage applications from members of traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM, including members of racial and ethnic minority groups, women, and veterans. Students should be US citizens or permanent residents.
APPLYING
For project details and to apply, visit our website: https://www.chem.tamu.edu/cmcc/reu_info.php Completed online applications must include a personal statement and an unofficial transcript through Fall 2022. Two (2) letters of recommendation are also required (instructions sent to references after application submission).
