Job Details
We are seeking a Senior Controls Engineer to bring our teams automation and controls initiatives to the next level! In this role you will be responsible for crafting precision measurement and calibration automated processes, with an expertise focus on safety. Perform the research and development on new technologies vital to solve sophisticated automation problems that have direct impact to the quality of Apple products. Design, implement and optimally scale automated and semi- automated solutions based upon sound engineering principles. Use your leadership skills for direction and training to third party machine/automation suppliers and/or CM's; be the driver on owned projects; serve as a technical resource to other engineering groups and project leaders. At Apple, we believe new insights have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Are you ready for your next adventure?
Description As our team's controls authority, you will: - Develop new and or improved processes through the application of theoretical and practical engineering. - Architect, write and debug PLC ladder logic/IPC SW with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, detailed, maintainable and reusable. - Implement (ANSI/ RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high volume manufacturing equipment - Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for sophisticated machinery while providing sufficient feedback for fixing - Performs assignments in several of the following manufacturing engineering functions: - Design for Manufacturability - Provide early and ongoing manufacturing involvement to ensure new products are mechanically manufacturable - Works all phases of a product from concept to repeat manufacturing to end of life. - Build request for Quotation/Proposal (RFQ/RFPs), Prioritize multi-functional reviews of the machine requirements, design, qualification and capability and engage machine suppliers for automated equipment design reviews and proposals - Failure/Data Analysis - Specifies test to be performed, compiles data and makes recommendations for product design changes and final assembly standards. This will include the use of Design of Experiments (DOE) and statistical analysis using Six Sigma principles. - Up to 10% international travel
