Its the diversity of our people and their ideas thatninspires the innovation that runs through everything we do from amazing technology tonindustry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple and help us leave the world betternthan we found takes deeply dedicated intelligent and hard-working individuals to maintain andnexceed the high expectations for the exciting iPhone brand at Apple. You will lead anteam of engineers and others in support of new product development as well asnsustaining operations and ensuring the contract manufacturer readiness for high volumenproduction. You will bring your knack and thirst to drive all technical operational issuesnrelated to optical Sensing modules and components u0026 related manufacturing processesnto ensure effective closure of all issues to enable operational success of the entire newnproduct introduction cycle and into the mass production phase.

Scope of the role will be to lead the teams that:n- Provide Technical leadership for manufacturing operations at multiple vendors and sites across tight timelines.n - Drive contract manufacturer preparation for pre-production builds.n - Drive Production process development documentation optimization and validation.n - Develops and implements new technologies to improve production quality capacity and efficiency.n - Sets standard practices and independently settles impact to design approachesnand parameters to the final 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. Performs assignments in several of the following manufacturing engineering functions:n - Design for Manufacturability. n - Provide early and ongoing manufacturing involvement to ensure manufacturability of new products.n - Product Engineering.n - 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 failure analysis. n - Process Engineering. n - Designs and develops technically complex processes to improve quality and efficiency. n - Failure/Data Analysis.n - Plans develops and implements technically complex 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 Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis using Six Sigma principles.n- Provide regular VP level communication of technical health of program.
