Engineering Program Manager (EPM) - Ecodesign Regulatory Compliance

Apple • Cupertino, CA • 1h ago

Role Number: 200670407-0836

Summary

Imagine what you could do here at Apple, where new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish.

At Apple, we deliver products, technologies, and services to inspire creativity and enrich lives. Apple has become one of the most recognized and trusted brands in the world. As such, we hold ourselves to the highest standards to maintain public and employee trust by ensuring regulatory compliance.

Apple's commitment to environmental leadership extends to how every product is designed, built, used, and recovered. The Product Analysis and Compliance Engineering (PACE) team is at the center of that commitment - serving as the critical bridge between global regulatory teams, government affairs, legal, operations, and hardware engineering, to ensure Apple products meet and exceed the world's most ambitious ecodesign and sustainability regulations.

We are seeking an Engineering Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional programs that drive Apple's Ecodesign compliance strategy forward. In this role, you will translate emerging ecodesign regulations - spanning energy efficiency, repairability, durability, recyclability, and material efficiency - into actionable compliance plans, orchestrate multi-stakeholder initiatives across Apple's hardware portfolio, and partner with Apple's International Environmental Initiatives (IEI), Legal, and Government Affairs teams to shape the regulatory landscape. This is not a passive compliance role - it is a leadership position where you will influence product design decisions, drive engineering teams toward regulatory readiness, assess compliance risk alongside legal partners, and help define how the electronics industry approaches circular, resource-efficient product design.

If you thrive at the intersection of sustainable engineering, product design, and regulatory compliance - and excel at bringing order to complexity - we'd love to hear from you.

Description

We are looking for self-motivated, fast learners with excellent verbal and written communication skills who are eager to collaborate with multiple internal and external stakeholders to drive the adoption of innovative solutions through product design and engineering, directed at creating world-class products that meet the highest global standards for energy efficiency, repairability, and environmental performance. The ideal candidate will establish strong business relationships, understand their goals and objectives, and help navigate conflicts and competing priorities with diplomacy and data-driven insights.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial/Systems Engineering, Sustainability Science, or a related technical discipline

7+ years of experience in product environmental compliance, ecodesign, energy efficiency regulation, or a closely related field within consumer electronics, hardware manufacturing, or a regulated industry

Excellent and rigorous program management skills

Demonstrated expertise with global ecodesign regulations and frameworks including EU ErP (Energy-related Products Directive), ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation), EU Batteries Regulation, ENERGY STAR, EU Energy Labelling, and emerging repairability/durability scoring frameworks (e.g., France Repairability Index, EU Repair Score)

Proven track record of leading complex, multi-stakeholder programs - including building project plans, managing schedules and dependencies, conducting risk assessments, and driving deliverables to completion

Strong understanding of product lifecycle principles - including energy efficiency, material efficiency, design for disassembly, repairability, and end-of-life considerations as they apply to consumer electronics hardware

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate highly technical regulatory content into actionable guidance for engineering and business audiences

Demonstrated ability to influence without authority - aligning cross-functional teams (engineering, legal, operations, supply chain) around shared compliance objectives

Willingness and ability to travel internationally (estimated 10-20%)

Preferred Qualifications

MSME/MSEE or MBA preferred, but not required

Direct experience interpreting or implementing EU ErP Implementing Measures (particularly Lot 3 - Displays, Lot 5 - Standby/Networked Standby, Lot 7 - External Power Supplies) or equivalent ecodesign regulations

Experience with product energy testing, energy modeling, or energy efficiency certification programs

Familiarity with lifecycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, carbon footprint accounting, or environmental product declarations (EPDs)

Working knowledge of consumer electronics hardware design and manufacturing processes - including an understanding of how regulatory constraints translate into product architecture decisions

Experience engaging with regulatory bodies, standards organizations (IEC, CENELEC, IEEE), or industry consortia on ecodesign policy development
