Responsibilities and activities for this position include the following: • Serve as Apple’s in-region thermal expert by leveraging a thorough understanding of the system-level and module-level thermal design and validation requirements. Experience in passive device thermal design is preferred. • Collaborate with U.S.-based Senior Thermal Engineers on technology evaluation, design investigation and process development for new products. • Guide and execute thermal testing at OEM and suppliers factories; Complete data reduction/analysis and prepare test reports. • Establish and manage relationships with thermal suppliers to identify emerging technologies and collaborate with them on the development of new technologies to meet Apple’s product roadmap needs. • Take the leading role in suggesting or adopting ideas for improving productivity and quality of thermal components. • Provide in-region expertise for root cause and corrective action of system thermal failures and defective thermal parts/materials. • Train engineers at OEM and vendor factories to produce high quality products using well-defined specifications, advanced production processes and update-to-date validation tools and codes.
About the Role: Tesla's Electronics Supplier Industrialization Engineering team plays a crucial role in developing and qualifying critical component and electronic part top-level assembly processes with our suppliers. We provide regional support for New Product Introduction (NPI) and legacy product management within the supply chain. This encompasses everything from early supplier sourcing assessments (in collaboration with the Tesla sourcing and design teams) and make-sourcing decisions, to industrialization and quality control activities. This position demands excellent communication skills, strong supplier management expertise, a willingness to travel domestically and internationally, and the ability to make critical decisions in time-sensitive situations. The role supports a diverse product portfolio, including low/high voltage products, controllers, audio and sensing projects, and optical lens and camera projects. Responsibilities: Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles during early product development, providing valuable feedback to NPI SIE (Supplier Industrialization engineer) and design teams. Conduct onsite supplier audit and provide assessment for sourcing decision, develop new suppliers to meet Tesla sourcing requirements. Drive continuous improvement in supplier scalability, cost, and quality performance. Manage and optimize supplier On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance. Oversee supplier production capacity and operations management. Facilitate clear communication of technical requirements between suppliers and Tesla's GSM, SIE, and Design teams. Conduct supplier audits to ensure compliance with part performance, delivery, and reliability expectations. Collaborate with Tesla supply chain teams to establish optimal performance specifications and supplier metrics. Lead, track, and improve supplier manufacturing process development and launch readiness for new products and design changes. Manage and enhance production and product quality. Guide suppliers in developing robust processes and procedures for efficient, high-quality product manufacturing. Follow up and drive SCAR (supplier corrective actions review) with supplier. Validate supplier corrective actions for design and/or process changes, ensuring they are sustainable and implemented across manufacturing lines and suppliers to prevent recurrence. Contribute to the evaluation of new or alternative materials for improved design, manufacturability, or cost reduction.
As a Senior Optics Design Engineer, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative consumer products. You will work closely with an internal interdisciplinary team, and outside partners to drive key aspects of product definition, execution, and test. You must be responsive, flexible, and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment. In this role, you will: • Work with a component engineering team and product engineering team to provide rapid prototyping and characterization of optics or imaging systems • Provide support for modelling and design for prototyping and manufacturing of lightguides and lenses. • Use software tools (LightTools, Zemax etc.) to model system optics characteristics • Work with cross-functional team to draft component specification, design reviews, work with vendors to manufacture parts and validate results by specifying test parameters and methodologies • Communicate and manage overseas component manufacturing vendors A day in the life As a senior optical design engineer, the day begins with reviewing simulation results from the latest lens design iteration. I analyze optical performance metrics like sharpness,aberrations and image quality, ensuring the design meets specifications. Meetings with cross-functional teams follow, where we discuss project timelines, material constraints, and integration challenges. Afternoons are spent refining models in Zemax or CODE V, testing prototypes, or collaborating with the manufacturing team to ensure seamless production. Occasionally, I mentor engineers, reviewing their work and offering guidance. The day wraps up with documenting progress and planning next steps for future optimizations.
