Description
Global Supply Manager
Apple GSMs own the commercial relationship with our enclosure manufacturing partners and are responsible for cost negotiations, continuity of supply, risk management, driving operational and cost efficiencies through process or design change, as well overall project execution. GSMs sit at the intersection of Apple's business activities and engineering communities, and effectively balance the needs of both groups to ensure successful product launches. Enclosure components (such as the housing) define the look, feel and expression of Apple's globally recognized industrial and product design. GSMs work in concert with operations, manufacturing quality, and manufacturing design engineers as well as Apple's Product Design and Industrial Design teams. Together, these teams execute and scale both new and existing manufacturing processes, materials, technologies, finishes and form factors.
Manufacturing Design Engineer

We lead a network of supplier factories worldwide, with responsibility for our partners' delivery to aggressive schedules. Our focus is on elegant execution of extraordinary designs, resulting in products that thrill our customers.
New Product Operations Program Manager
We are the primary operations interface to the core product development team and Module Engineering team within Apple. As the owner of the program, through direct involvement and/or influence, you will ensure the successful launch of the product towards meeting it's stated Cost, Quality, Schedule, Availability and Customer Experience goals. New Product Operations is pivotal to the dynamic development and launch of Apple's products. We are a team of driven, organized and detail-oriented individuals who excel in program management.
Software Engineer
The Manufacturing Design team enables the mass production of Apple's entire product line from iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks to the Mac Pro, AppleTV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro. Part of the magic that makes all of this possible is a robust set of applications and systems designed and developed by Apple that support production from proto@type to announcement and beyond. The applications we build are used daily by the people at Apple that design our products along with those that figure out how to make them at scale. This includes; Manufacturing Design Engineers, Product Designers, Mechanical Engineers, Quality Engineers, Supply Chain Managers, along with our Suppliers. We work closely with them to design and architect the best solutions for the challenges faced when making the highest quality hardware products.
Subject Matter Expert
The Apple Subject Matter Expert (SME) is accountable for driving the development of manufacturing processes across Apple's worldwide supply base. As the expert technical member of the Manufacturing Design Team, you will have direct frequent communication and collaboration with Apple Industrial Design, Product Design, Manufacturing Design partners and worldwide suppliers. You will investigate and develop solutions to overcome ambitious technical tasks that require non-standard manufacturing approaches.
Tooling Engineer
