Working at apple computer

Hardware

Impossible is our favorite starting point.

Our engineers have created some tough acts to follow, and they continue to lead us to innovative breakthroughs. Because they’re driven not by what would be easy, but by what would be amazing.

As the manager of an acoustic prototyping group at Apple, Suzie explores new ways to push the limits of audio technologies. While working on Apple’s HomePod, for example, she developed some of the many prototypes that helped define the precise placement of the tweeter array ports, to eliminate poor audio quality caused by table reflections. The goal was to achieve consistent, high-fidelity sound for listeners, even as they move around the listening space. “Time and again, our teams go to a level of care and detail that I wouldn’t have thought possible before working at Apple. We raise the bar with every project. Which is exactly what our customers expect from us.”
