The CNC Subject Matter Expert Engineers are responsible for the development and implementation of crucial CNC processes during our prototype development builds through high volume production.

In this highly visible role, you will have direct frequent communication and collaboration with Apple Industrial Design, Product Design, Manufacturing Design, and worldwide suppliers. You will utilize your manufacturing background in the following areas:

Process Development:
-Create CNC programs and processes to facilitate new product and industrial design. Make samples for design decisions.
-Setup and run CNC validation exercises in our labs to demonstrate process feasibility and capability
-lan, propose, and lead experiments to produce analyses used to drive design, development, and supply chain decisions
-Own progress of development activities at supplier locations to successfully enable new products

New Product Introduction:
-Acts as lead engineer to drive CNC process development and capability assessment activities, reviewing part design to ensure alignment with process capability
-Assign 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 the program
-Establish validation procedures to determine acceptance of processes into development builds as well as mass production

Supplier Execution:
-Review supplier tool design, process flow, equipment selection, machining parameters DFM, and DOE proposals
-Identify shortfalls and corrective actions to ensure design compliance.
-Work with vendors engineering teams to map out process development exercises, secure resources, and commit to schedules in line with program goals.
-Assess supplier readiness to support build events and production ramp. Identify potential execution issues and provide recommendations to mitigate risk.
