• On site – Technical Operations owner for Mass production readiness of NPI, Ramp, and Sustaining areas of assigned image sensor products• Approve vendor process flow, process quality control plan (tests, methods, sample sizes, pass /fail criteria), equipment list, and Cosmetic specs (Ensure cosmetic standards are aligned with Module integrators) for production readiness• Contribute to mass production release reviews and verify that all are ready to ramp• In mass production, lead resolution of device related quality issues in wafer fab, back-end processing, transit, and module integrator• Set a vision for constant product quality and operational improvement year over year. Set daring targets and drive plans to achieve• Be involved at product concept to ensure products are designed for manufacturing (DFM)• Build in constant design improvement for product quality, factory efficiency and product cost• Manage new process introduction and special projects, such as new testers• Ensure device vendors are conforming to Apple specs and requirements• Conduct site quality and process audits• Ensure timely test correlation activities and close test gaps between device, module, and system• Monitor yield and manufacturing metrics (CpK, FMEA etc.). Drive yield improvement as appropriate• Drive FACA for sensor related returns from integrators, field returns, and EFFA issues. Track, report and close out issues in a timely manner• Ensure 8D reports and PCNs are maintained accurately• Raise and balance formal company-wide Quality Alerts• Organize 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 needed• Manage the quality relationship with image sensor vendors. This involves regular face to face reviews, efficient vendor reporting systems and audits• Ensure qualification and reliability activities at vendors are in line with requirements• Regularly provide status reporting updates to executives and escalation when needed• Teamwork: constant interfacing with multiple functional teams across Apple, including Supplier quality engineeres at module integrators, device design team, reliability engineers, and system quality engineers
