- Process Development:1. Planning, proposing, and helping experiments to produce timely and accurate analyses used to drive design, development, and supply chain decisions.2. Provide assistance in assessing the suitability of a fabrication technology for a given part design. Planning validation exercises to demonstrate initial feasibility as well as manufacturing capability. Analyzing results of validation exercises and provide technical recommendations.3. Reviewing progress of development activities at supplier locations and serve as point of escalation for critical process related issues.- New Product Introduction:1. Acts as supporting engineer to drive process development and capability assessment activities, reviewing part design documentation to ensure alignment with process capability. 2. Assigns specific tasks and work with Apple suppliers to support process development and/or data gathering activities. Set clear goals for results and provide timely reviews of performance throughout program.3. Help to establish validation procedures to determine acceptance of tooling into development builds as well as mass production.- Supplier Execution:1. Help to review supplier tool design, process flow, equipment selection, DFM, and DOE proposals. Identify shortfalls and corrective actions to ensure design compliance.2. Work with supplier engineering teams to map out process development exercises, secure resources, and contribute to schedules in line with program goals 3.
