Description
Responsible for crafting precision assembly and measurement processes for Apple products. Perform the research and development on new technologies necessary to seek complex assembly and automation problems that have direct impact to the quality and delivery of Apple products. Design, implement and efficient scale automated and semi- automated solutions based upon sound engineering principles and the technologies developed for a specific application.
Develop new and or improved processes through the application of theoretical and practical engineering. Keeps abreast of all meaningful technical trends and developments and incorporates them in appropriate assignments
Provide direction and mentorship to third party machine/automation suppliers and/or CM's; be the technical leader and driver on owned projects; serve as a technical resource to other engineering groups and project leaders
Coordinate cross-functional reviews requirements, design, qualification and capability. Create Request for Quotation/Proposal (RFQ/RFPs) that documents the design requirements of the automated equipment, delivery schedule, required documentation and qualification for acceptance at machine supplier facility and contract manufacturer's factory
Engage machine suppliers for automated equipment design reviews and proposals
Travel to the machine supplier and contract manufacturer for equipment bring-up,
Qualification, acceptance testing and support during build events
Gage Repeatability / Reproducibility (GR&R)
Drive failure analysis and machine issue resolution when working with machine suppliers and contract manufacturers
Ability to travel internationally as needed
Run equipment experiments to bound the capability of the machine
Responsible for data analysis reports to communicate machine capability to the multi-functional teams
Performs assignments in several of the following manufacturing engineering functions:
Design for Manufacturability - Provide early and on going 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 complex testing methods, procedures and analysis
Process Engineering - Designs and develops technically complex processes to improve quality and efficiency. Utilize statistical tools (such as GR&R, SPC and Cp/pCk) to ensure processes/fixtures are scalable and are continuing to perform properly once qualified.
Failure/Data Analysis - Plans, develops and implements technically sophisticated procedures for the testing and evaluation of soon to be released products. Specifies test to be performed, compiles data and makes recommendations for product design changes and final assembly standards. This will include the use of (DOE) and statistical analysis using Six Sigma principles.","responsibilities":"Apple AME is responsible for designing precision assembly and measurement processes for Apple products. Perform the research and development on new technologies necessary to tackle complex assembly and automation problems that have direct impact to the quality and delivery of Apple products. Design, implement and successfully scale automated and semi-automated solutions based upon sound engineering principles and the technologies developed for a specific application.

Understands machine qualification including calibration, correlation, capability, repeatability and reproducibility
Able to communicate effectively in a worldwide environment
Proven track record of cost reduction, project management and engineering design required
Solid understanding of GD&T principles favorable
NX, SolidWorks CAD or ProE experiences a plus
Knowledge of optics principles as they relate to CCD cameras, 2D and 1D lasers, and their use for positioning and critical alignment machines
Basic understanding of liquid adhesives, PSA's and VHB's a plus
Working knowledge of robotics (6-axis and/or SCARA), pneumatics, servo motors, motion controllers, PLC and and PC-based control systems
JMP, Minitab & Six Sigma experience preferred
