Design for Testability:
Provide early and on-going manufacturing involvement to ensure new products are being tested in a logical and cost-effective manner. Incorporate FMEA and product design targets using the Engineering Requirements Specification (ERS).Product Life Cycle Engineering:
Work all phases of a product from concept to production. Provides production support engineering with respect to technically complex testing methods, procedures, and failure analysis. Lead the optimization of test solutions to enhance quality and operational efficiency in production.Test Process Engineering:
Designs and develop technical test 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:
Plan, develop and implement procedures for the testing and evaluation of soon to be released products. Specifies tests to be performed, compiles data and makes recommendations for test or tester design changes. This will include the use of Design of Experiments (DOE). Improve product quality and cost by closing test gaps and correlations issues across the supply chain. Develop new and/or improved processes through the application of theoretical and practical engineering. Keep abreast of all meaningful technical trends and developments and incorporate them in appropriate assignments. Provide direction and mentorship to third-party vendors/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. Drive failure analysis and machine issue resolution when working with tester suppliers and contract manufacturers. Prepare and present concise Test Engineering program status updates to the Exec team on a weekly basis.Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of work experience in any of assembly, inspection, test station design, test development, maintenance and/or automation equipment.BS or MS degree in mechanical, electrical, or similar engineering discipline.Preferred Qualifications
Experienced in working with cross-functional teams such as hardware design, system teams, capital equipment, quality, and process engineering.Knowledge of optical technologies and/or semiconductor testing preferred.Knowledge of tester qualification requirements including calibration, correlation, capability, repeatability and reproducibility, design of experiments, and failure analysis.Required to understand, plan development builds and mass production with factories worldwide.Able to communicate effectively in a worldwide environment.Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
