About The Position

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Work closely with engineering teams through the entire development cycle to ensure that not only is the design robust, but that it is manufacturable in high-volumes - Contract Manufacturer (CM) Readiness. Work with the CapEx, Fixture (Automation / Manual) and Factory teams at every build to ensure that the fixtures needed for assembling the product and the test stations for testing them are in place and qualified. SOP for assembling products are ready and the operators are trained. Lead the team to triage all yield hitters and drive Failure Analysis (FA) to understand if the issues are on account of Design/Process/Part-quality and drive the responsible teams to address the issue. Synthesize information on the program (product readiness for mass production, factory readiness, relevant, trade-offs, impact on development milestones) into concise communication for Senior Management. 20% international travel required.
