Manager- Technical program management III-V Photonics

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products services and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and theres no telling what you could accomplish. nnHere at Apple we dont just create products we create the kind of wonder thats revolutionized entire industries. Its the diversity of our people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Product Operations at Apple and help us leave the world better than we found it.

In this role you will lead a group of III-V epitaxy and device experts who work hand in hand with engineering to bring our products to life. You will be engaged early in the concept phase influencing technology development and vendor selection. Your team will span products across Apples line of businesses and you and your team will ensure that all processes are suitable for mass production. You will take the lead in driving continuous improvement activities for epitaxy and semiconductor device processes during product development ramp up and throughout the product lifetime. You will work with Apples internal operations and engineering team our semiconductor device vendors and downstream with module and system integrators.

Set a vision for constant product quality and operational improvements year over year. Set aggressive yield targets and drive plans to yield improvements through careful data analysis and process involved at product concept to ensure products are designed for manufacturing (DFM). Build in constant design improvement for product quality factory efficiency and product vendor selection for new vendor process flow process quality control plan(tests methods sample sizes pass /fail criteria) equipment list and qualification plan and Cosmetic specs (Ensure cosmetic standards are aligned with Module integrators). nManage new process introduction and special device manufacturers for Mass production device vendors are conforming to Apple specs and timely test correlation activities and close test gaps between device module and to mass production release reviews and verify that all we are ready to mass production lead resolution of device related quality issues in wafer fab back-end processing transit and module and report yield manufacturing metrics (CpK FMEA etc.). Drive improvement programs as FACA for sensor related returns from integrators field returns and EFFA issues. Track report and close out issues in a timely 8D reports and PCNs are maintained accuratelynOrganize three-way meetings with device vendors and module integrators to get feedback on downstream issues and to ensure smooth co-working. Assist and arbitrate as the quality relationship with image sensor vendors. This involves regular face to face reviews efficient vendor reporting systems and qualification and reliability activities at vendors are in line with provide status reporting updates to executives and escalation when needed.n
