Service Description
The MDEs provide end to end manufacturing process solutions for all Apple components on Apple
product. The manufacturing process development covers all aspects from equipment,
consumables, process parameters, setups, to full qualification. In addition, the MDEs are also
responsible for automation development, factory management, and strategic R&D. Using
comprehensive data analysis, first principle knowledge, and engineering experience, the MDEs are
responsible to drive major process decision (including all aspects indicated above), as well as
continuous yield improvements. As MDE, you will manage multiple programs from development
phase to mass production.
• You are responsible to deliver a best-in-class process that meets Apple product designs,
industrial design requirements with high manufacturing yield and efficiency.
• In development phase, you will manage process development/selections which meets our
quality and manufacturing criteria, and drive implementation in our contract
manufacturing site to support engineering builds.
• In mass production, you will manage continuous improvement from both process and
operation aspect to achieve high yield and manufacturing efficiency.
• You need to be technical oriented and hands-on to drive technical solution forward. Know
your process and factory and be accountable of the decision made by you and your team.
Utilize your engineering experience and knowledge to provide guidance to our contract
manufacturing site on technical solutions, statistical data analysis, and establishing a
technical strategy.
• Build and use effective engineering framework to guide our contract manufacturing site to
drive effective technical path to close.
• Develop your site (contract manufacturer) from all technical, operational and
management perspective.
• Work collaboratively with Global Supply Managers to ensure process decision is aligned
with supply and commercial team.
• Work collaboratively with Manufacturing Design Quality team to drive yield improvements
and solve quality issue (both in house and cross supply chain).• Bridge and manage communication between US and China. Empower you to influence
major decision across all functions and regions.
