About The Position

Apple’s Product Analysis & Compliance Engineering (PACE) group ensures products meet global Safety, Environmental, EMC, and Wireless regulations and Apple-specific requirements. The Regulatory Engineering Project Manager (EPM) leads complex engineering initiatives in a fast-paced product development environment, driving regulatory readiness and end-to-end product delivery across hardware programs.

The role tracks emerging global standards and regulations, assesses their impact on Apple’s business and product roadmaps, and translates them into actionable requirements for product teams. It leads strategy and execution for regulatory markings—including physical markings and e-labeling—across finished products and core modules. The EPM also modernizes internal regulatory trackers and workflows through digitization and systems improvements.

This highly visible position aligns PACE engineering teams and partners such as Legal, Government Affairs, Operations, and Global Supply. Responsibilities include setting objectives, managing schedules, ensuring follow-through, resolving issues, and presenting clear briefings in executive forums, including reviews with cross-functional VPs. The EPM will also help develop scalable EPM processes and best practices across hardware development cycles.
