The Strategic Design Engineering team collaborates with Hardware Engineering, Product Design, Marketing, EPM, NPI/NPO, GSM, and OPD to develop CSP structural cost targets in support of business pricing and margin targets. Key engagements will be with both the system and module teams. Develop and implement cost strategies and roadmap from the early architecture and proof of concept stages through the engineering builds to product ramp. Drive detailed trade-off analyses. Push to understand why something costs what it costs, challenge the status quo, develop innovative solutions and ideas that will improve the cost. Dive into the details of the design and the supply chain in order to offer alternatives. Drive sourcing and development model decision with cross-functional partners in BizOps and GSM. Own off-AVL discussions and initial supplier bring-up. Drive product cost optimization and industry/supply chain intelligence through competitive product tear down activities and bottoms up cost estimation.

Description
Successful SDE PMs constantly drive excellence across their own responsibilities as well as that of team members and partners. They have the ability to constantly “zoom in” to analyze and challenge detail, and “zoom out” to drive what actually matters. They leverage strategic internal relationships to effectively collaborate with engineering, operations and other Apple teams. They are able to think and stay focused under pressure, be creative, and communicate concisely and effectively with senior management as well as peers.

  1. Engage with engineering teams during early product development phases to drive overall architecture towards the right cost by providing quick feedback on baseline architecture, challenging teams on underlying assumptions, and helping evaluate alternatives.
  2. Identify, investigate, and help validate alternative manufacturing processes, materials, designs, and suppliers that optimize cost for our x-functional engineering partners.
  3. Manage overall module cost BOM, and influence cross-functional teams to implement creative alternatives needed to meet cost targets.
  4. Investigate and propose off-AVL suppliers and/or vertically integrated supply chains and spearhead the x-functional team to bring them up as a strategic Apple AVL supplier.
  5. Drive product cost optimization and industry/supply chain intelligence through competitive product tear down activities and bottoms up cost estimation.
  6. Develop a cost solutions portfolio over time to scale across various Apple products.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelors Degree in Engineering / Supply chain management or related Program management degree.
  • 5+ years of experience.
  • Product design exposure or experience, with a deep interest in designing for cost.
  • Strong program management background, with an ability to quickly understand various aspects of product design with an intimate knowledge / understanding of a typical stage/gate product development process.
