DescriptionDescriptionResponsible for manufacturing research and development to solve complex problems that have a direct impact on the final product cost, quality, and delivery of Apple products. Under broad goals and objectives, exercises judgment within generally defined practices and policies in selecting methods and techniques for acquiring solutions to sophisticated problems. Sets standard practices and independently determines impact to design approaches and parameters to the final product. Applies extensive expertise in all facets of mechanical product design. We provide direction, mentorship, and resources to other engineering groups and project leaders as well as factory technicians. Act as lead engineer on a variety of projects and participates in the project planning of major sub-projects. Keeps abreast of all relevant technical trends and developments and incorporates them in appropriate assignments. Performs assignments in several of the following manufacturing engineering functions: Design for Manufacturability - Provide early and ongoing manufacturing involvement to ensure new products are mechanically manufacturable. Product Engineering - Works all phases of a product from concept to repeat manufacturing to end of life. Provides production support engineering with respect to technically sophisticated testing methods, procedures, and failure analysis. Process Engineering - Designs and develops technically sophisticated processes to improve quality and efficiency. Failure/Data Analysis - Plans, develops, and implements technically sophisticated procedures for the testing and evaluation of soon-to-be-released products. Specifies tests to be performed, compiles data, and makes recommendations for product design changes and final assembly standards. This will include the use of Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis using Six Sigma principles.
