You will apply your mechanical manufacturing background in the following areas:PROCESS DEVELOPMENT:- Plan, propose and lead experiments to produce timely and accurate analyses used to drive design, development, and supply chain decisions.- Apply DOEs, FMEA and other Industry-standard tools to actively identify and address risks and optimize process parameters.- Develop robust processes for failure analysis and drive continuous improvement.- Drive process development and capability assessment activities, reviewing part design documentation to ensure alignment with process capability. - Establish validation procedures to determine acceptance of tooling into development builds as well as mass production.SUPPLIER EXECUTION:- Review supplier equipment and fixture design, process flow, equipment selection, DFM, and DOE proposals. Identify shortfalls and corrective actions to ensure design compliance.- Assess supplier readiness to support build events and production ramp. Identify potential execution issues and provide recommendations to mitigate risk.- Evaluate prospective suppliers regarding production capability & quality management.- Lead suppliers by providing technical direction to establish and validate (applying statistical tools) process capability to Apple standards in meeting innovative product designs as well as test and quality requirements.- Establish Quality programs and Manufacturing Process Control Plans for early detection of issues, to ensure the highest level of Quality and Reliability is consistently delivered.
