Apple is seeking a highly motivated process development and integration engineer to join the Display Module Technology (DMT) team within Display Technologies Organization. Our team is responsible for developing innovative manufacturing process technologies to address complex design challenges that directly impact Apple Displays technology’s future products, quality, and delivery. In this role, the individual will serve as a key focal point in the process development and integration of advanced display modules, from the concept and architecture stages through product engineering validation builds. We operate at a fast pace and require everyone to be highly motivated. A successful candidate should be a flexible thinker who can solve problems beyond their technical expertise. They should also have a proven track record of excelling in a diverse and cross-functional team environment.
- B.S. Degree minimum in Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field and 10 years of relevant industry experience. - Experience in EQ/Process development in Camera, Sensor, MEMS, precision optics, Semiconductor, or other related industries. - Experience in precision mechanical systems, precision assembly, flexures, and calibration systems. - Experience with thermal analysis, stress analysis, and multi-physics simulation tools. - Experience in failure mode analysis, root cause investigation, and problem-solving for product yield and quality issues.
- Ph.D. or M.S. degree in Physics, Material Science, or Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years of experience in a related field is preferred. - Experience in micro-assembly processes, including image capturing, precision handling, glue dispensing, curing, welding, and precision fastening technologies. - Experience with force-controlled precision adjustment mechanisms such as fine-pitch screws, flexure stages, and clamps, along with best practices for locking alignment after active alignment. - Experience in spring system engineering, like post-assembly stiffness adjustment, real-time spring constant tuning, and spring solutions for auto-thermal compensation. - Experience with defining adhesives/glues requirements, characterizing properties, and developing processes. - Experience with various actuators, including piezoelectric, electrothermal, electrostatic, electromagnetic, and voice-coil. - Experience with optical calibration algorithm and active alignment optimization methods. - Experience with lens system design and process, and optical spec (tilt, decenter, focus, wavefront error, etc.).
As a Module Process Engineer, you’ll drive the display or optical module process end to end, from proof-of-concept to volume manufacturing.
- Translate design requirement and features into detailed module EQ and process develop schedules, deliver process in predictable, timely manner. - Perform design and process FMEA and focus on high-risk items to plan the development work. - Work with multi-functional teams to communicate the risks and priorities the work - Generate and maintain documentation of specifications, manufacturing, test and FA processes. - Work with module supply vendors, and develop processes for display or optical modules and help with failure analysis activities. - About 10-20% international travel to work with vendors in factories
Apple designs and sells consumer electronics, from iPhone smartphones and Mac computers to tablets and wearable devices. Its operating systems manage apps and built-in functions for communication and work, while iCloud stores files and synchronizes data across devices. Customers buy additional digital services through subscriptions such as Apple Music and Apple TV, and developers distribute software through the App Store. Apple earns money from hardware sales, subscriptions and digital transactions, selling directly to customers and through retailers and mobile carriers around the world. It was founded in 1976 and has its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
