Test Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldnt have imagined and now cant imagine living without. Its the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

APPLE INC has the following available in Austin Texas. Collaborate with hardware software and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure products are designed with appropriate manufacturing test coverage and scalable production test strategies. Implement Design for Testability (DFT) methodologies by incorporating Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Engineering Requirements Specifications (ERS) into manufacturing test planning. Support product lifecycle activities from concept prototype builds through engineering validation qualification and ramp to mass production. Develop and implement manufacturing test systems and processes including test stations fixtures and automated test processes used in production environments. Define test procedures and evaluation methods for new products including specifying test requirements collecting test data and recommending improvements to test processes or equipment. Provide engineering support for production test operations including troubleshooting test equipment factory bring up station qualification resolving test system issues and performing failure analysis. Apply statistical process control methodologies including SPC GRu0026R and process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk) to validate and monitor manufacturing test processes. Conduct data analysis and Design of Experiments (DOE) to identify root causes of product or test failures and improve manufacturing test performance. Work with external vendors automation suppliers and contract manufacturers to develop qualify and deploy manufacturing test equipment and processes. Document manufacturing test processes and communicate technical findings and engineering updates to internal engineering and operations stakeholders. 15% international and domestic travel. 40 hours/week.

Bachelors degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering or related engineering field and 3 years of experience in the job offered or related and/or education must include:nnDriving next generation early engagement technical evaluations during product concepts and engineering builds to driving volume production end-to-end manufacturing test strategy evaluating test coverages at different supply nodes to determine most optimized and suitable and executing controlled experiments using Design of Experiments (DOE) techniques to analyze manufacturing variables and improve test processes for data drive Design for Testability (DFT) principles to ensure test stations can be efficiently scaled in manufacturing and achieve adequate test statistical methods such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk) to monitor manufacturing performance and identify process measurement systems using methods including Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GRu0026R) to ensure reliable test data and measurement with engineering software manufacturing quality and operations teams to support test development and MP with equipment vendors automation suppliers and contract manufacturers to develop validate and maintain new test systems for structured engineering methodologies to diagnose product or manufacturing test failures and implement corrective actions.
