We expect the incumbent to:- Evaluate product and industrial design goals to understand the dimensional, cosmetic, and functional priorities for the product- Identify and validate suitable fabrication equipment and processes to meet all Apple design and operational requirements- Develop and document processes, including all parameters, consumables, and secondary operation requirements to meet defined specifications- Conduct process optimization DOE’s, using data-driven and hands-on approaches together to find solutions to complex challenges- Communicate ongoing process development status to cross-functional teams and lead discussions to align design requirements with manufacturing capability- Familiarity with a phase gate product development approachYou may be asked to lead development in one or more of the following areas to help ensure that quality & yield requirements are met: - Glass Processing: Develop all processes for glass laser, grinding, lapping, polishing, CNC milling, chemical strengthening, decoration and functional coatings (with inks, and other thin film deposition techniques etc). Ensure that quality and yield requirements are met.- As part of process development, scope appropriate process equipment, design/develop fixtures, implement touch probing, selection of consumables, lead the reduction of cycle time, development of advanced cutters and coatings. Own optimization/yield improvement actions and process change decisions based on statistical process control (SPC) data analysis.
