Description

The Apple Semiconductor Operations team is looking for a motivated, highly technical Component SiP productization engineering focusing on product and process development, supplier readiness, and high-volume manufacturing quality. This role will drive NPI execution, process bring-up, qualification readiness, and quality improvement for advanced SiP, RF, antenna, mmWave, wireless, and high-density module technologies. The successful candidate will work with module integration suppliers, OSATs, sub-component vendors, PCB/substrate suppliers, and system integration sites. They will interface regularly with Engineering, Operations, Reliability, and Quality teams.

Responsibilities

• Deliver high-density and high-performance SiP/module technologies within thermo-mechanical, performance, reliability, quality, cost, and form-factor constraints.
• Support Advance Component SiP and system integration development for future products, including design rules, process bring-up, materials/process selection.
• Drive quality readiness at vendor factories for development builds, risk ramp, and mass production.
• Lead supplier readiness across NPI phases, including process BKM lock, build-exit criteria, factory audits, qualification status, and ramp-risk closure.
• Resolve process, yield, reliability, and quality issues in product and manufacturing processes.
• Use data analysis and failure analysis to identify gaps in component design, package architecture, process capability, inspection coverage, and test readiness.
• Work with vendors and OEM/system integration sites to ensure compliance to Apple specifications and manufacturing requirements.
• Ensure qualification and reliability activities at suppliers are in line with product and process requirements.
• Partner closely with component design, hardware engineering, reliability, PD FEA/simulation, operations, and quality teams.
• Provide routine status reporting to leadership and escalate technical, quality, and supplier execution issues when needed.

Minimum Qualifications

• Strong SiP, semiconductor packaging, module assembly, or advanced packaging experience, including knowledge of assembly processes, materials, substrates, and package-level failure mechanisms.
• 5+ years relevant experience in product engineering, process engineering, semiconductor packaging, module productization, supplier quality, or high-volume manufacturing.
• MS/BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related technical discipline
• Understanding of SPC, DOE, FMEA, JMP or equivalent data analysis tools, and factory quality metrics used to monitor production performance.
• Strong understanding of reliability testing and failure mechanisms such as temperature cycling, board-level reliability, MSL, bHAST, CAF, warpage, solder fatigue, and substrate/material interactions.
• Strong interpersonal skills to work with design, development, operations, reliability, quality, supplier engineering, and other cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with supplier manufacturing process control, quality systems, factory audits, and production readiness reviews.
• Ability to take advanced packages or modules from concept and development builds to high-volume manufacturing.
• Experience with RF, mmWave, antenna module, wireless module, high-density package, or advanced SiP architecture is a plus.
• Ability to communicate technical risk clearly, drive issue closure, and provide concise executive-level updates.
• Self-motivated, good communicator, and able to lead complex issues across global suppliers.
