Product Design Engineer - DFM SiP / PCBA NPI

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. You will become part of a hands-on development team that sets the standard in cultivating excellence, creativity and innovation. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll define something.

As a part of SiP process NPI team, you will interface between internal product/device design, quality, supply chain, and the external suppliers to develop and deploy new System-in-Package (SiP) technologies. We are looking for individuals who are innovative with a proven track record to bring packaging solution from concept to high-volume manufacturing.

## Description

As a DFM SiP/ PCBA NPI engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing next generation SiP process and PCBA assembly process for various of end products. You will be deeply involved from early design phase , prove-of-concept phase (POC), multiple NPI build phases, and hand over to MP team until risk ramp. During these phases, you will be the key stakeholder to lead OSAT’s process team for process development & qualification per projects assigned.This role partners closely with cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers, and factory operations to support NPI, equipment development, and high-volume manufacturing while meeting quality, cost, and delivery objectives.
