Provide subject matter expertise in textile manufacturing processes, including fiber/yarn production, weaving, knitting, dyeing, finishing, coating and other softgoods fabrication processes.

Identify process risks and implement process control strategies to maintain consistent product quality.

Planning, proposing, and leading experiments to produce timely and accurate analyses used to drive design, development, and supply chain decisions.

Assessing the suitability of a fabrication technology for a given part design. Planning validation exercises to demonstrate initial feasibility as well as manufacturing capability. Analyzing results of validation exercises and provide technical recommendations.

Evaluate and recommend appropriate textile manufacturing and fabrication process for product applications.

Reviewing progress of development activities at supplier locations and serve as point of partner concern for critical process related issues.

Support development and optimization of scalable production processes to enable high-volume manufacturing.

Support failure analysis , factory ramp readiness and yield improvement activities.

Conduct root cause analysis and drive corrective actions for material or process issues.

Drive innovation in advanced textile manufacturing process and sustainability.

Work with cross-functional teams to ensure successful technology transfer into manufacturing.

Work closely with global suppliers to ensure scalable manufacturing capability and process stability.

New Product Introduction:

Acts as lead engineer to drive process development and capability assessment activities, reviewing part design documentation to ensure alignment with process capability.

Partner with Product Design teams to translate design intent into manufacturable textile solutions.

Collaborate with product design teams to evaluate whether proposed product architectures and specifications are manufacturable at scale.

Provide early feedback to influence product design toward manufacturability, robustness, and supply chain readiness.

Assess Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) characteristics defined by product design teams and identify potential gaps or unrealistic specifications.

Recommend modifications to product specifications where necessary to ensure achievable manufacturing capability.

Lead technical investigations into material and process failures using structured problem-solving methodologies.

Assigns specific tasks and work with Apple suppliers to support process development and/or data gathering activities. Set clear goals for results and provide timely reviews of performance throughout program.

Establish validation procedures to determine acceptance of tooling into development builds as well as mass production.
