Description

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.

Responsible for all aspects of manufacturing equipment and fixtures, including development and maintenance of assembly EnF, data correlation, as well as the capability for failure analysis on the yield hitters and reliability issues from EnF and process perspectives, and post-ramp qualification and new process implementation. Work together with the cross-functional teams and vendors to drive for product solutions, increase line efficiency and control product quality.

Responsibilities

• Develop new and/or improved processes through the application of theoretical and practical engineering
• Stay on top of all significant technical trends and developments and incorporate them in appropriate assignments
• Provide direction and mentorship to third party machine/automation suppliers and/or CMs; be the technical leader and driver on owned projects; serve as a technical resource to other engineering groups and project leaders
• Organize cross-functional reviews of the machine requirements, design, qualification and capability
• Create Request for Quotation/Proposal (RFQ/RFP) 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
• Drive machine qualification including correlation, process capability (Cp/Cpk) and Gage Repeatability / Reproducibility (GR&R)
• Drive failure analysis and machine issue resolution when working with machine suppliers and contract manufacturers
• Run equipment experiments to bound the capability of the machine. Improve machine UPH/yield/downtime
• Responsible for data analysis reports to communicate machine capability to the multi-functional teams
• Perform assignments in several of the following manufacturing engineering functions:
• 1. Design for Manufacturability - Provide early and on-going manufacturing involvement to ensure new products are mechanically manufacturable
• 2. Product Engineering - Work all phases of a product from concept to repeat manufacturing to end of life. Provide production support engineering with respect to technically complex testing methods, procedures and failure analysis
• 3. Process Engineering - Design and develop technically complex processes to improve quality and efficiency. Use statistical tools (such as GR&R, SPC and Cp/Cpk) to ensure processes/fixtures are scalable and are continuing to perform properly once qualified
• 4. Failure/Data Analysis - Plan, develop and implement technically complex procedures for the testing and evaluation of soon to be released products. Specify test to be performed, compile 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
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years in an engineering role with experience in customized automation equipment used for alignment, assembly and/or measurement of components.
• Able to communicate effectively in a worldwide environment, and work independently under pressure.
• Solid understanding of pneumatics, servo motors, robotics(6-axis and/or SCARA), CCD, laser sensor, PLC and and PC-based control systems.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer, Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Self starter with innovation, integrity and attention to details, be able to work in a matrix organization.
• Understands machine qualification including correlation, process capability (Cp/Cpk) and Gage Repeatability / Reproducibility (GR&R).
• Have a proven working knowledge of design of experiments and failure analysis, be able to read and interpret engineering drawings (GD&T).
• Understands and build tolerance analysis for parts and assemblies.
• Be open and willing to travel internationally to contract manufacturer factory up to 25%.
• Automation experience on following areas is a strong plus: auto glue dispensing, pick and place, robotics, AOI(vision/laser), active alignment or auto screwing.
• JMP data analysis & Six Sigma experience, Python skills in data automation preferred.
• Understand key metrics that impact machine learning algorithms and how to enable ML/AI for smart manufacturing strategy.
• Mandarin speaking a plus.
• NX CAD experience a plus.
