PMIC Engineering Program Specialist
The SEG PMU Engineering Program Management team at Apple is seeking a dynamic and resourceful Engineering Program Specialist (EPS) to lead the overall PMU EPS effort to support PMU HW development for silicon validation. This role is pivotal in creating process and operational efficiencies while supporting and developing the EPS best practice to be adaptable all PMU teams. The EPS will partner with various stakeholders, including Engineering program managers, engineering teams, global commodity managers, and finance teams, to ensure effective program execution and process optimization. In this role, the EPS will be responsible to collaborate with EPM to supporting SiVal HW build execution activities and ensure on-time HW delivery. The role will also execute issue resolution, support configuration management, and maintain build matrices. The EPS will work closely with engineering teams to create and release Bills of Materials (BOMs), part numbers, Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and related technical drawings and documents. Identifying risks and developing mitigation strategies will be crucial, as will facilitating conflict resolution within and between teams. The EPS will also work with key stakeholders to provide timely issue resolution and manage critical paths as priorities shift. Continuous improvement will be a key focus, as the EPS will work with cross-functional teams to drive efficiency in development processes. The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and handle competing priorities will be vital for success in this role.
