Passion for real-world AI applications that enhance quality, speed, and scalability Experience with reliability modeling, DOE, and quality systems Interest in integrating AI-powered assistants into engineering workflows Minimum Qualifications Bachelors in Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, Industrial Engineering or a related field 5+ years of proven experience in high-volume manufacturing, quality engineering, or development of consumer electronics or components ## Description We are seeking a Quality Engineer with strong data fluency-skilled in Python, Tableau, and applied AI workflows-to help scale quality processes in high-complexity, high-volume manufacturing. This role bridges traditional quality engineering skills with emerging AI-driven workflows, ensuring factory intelligence is applied in the real world to deliver measurable improvements in speed, accuracy, and decision-making., Core Technology Quality Engineers are responsible for driving quality improvement actions on future products. They enable a mass production capable manufacturing processes and develop plans to validate / verify new product quality at each development landmark. They approach problems in an engineering method and make data driven decision. Quality Engineers also bring up capable suppliers that can execute at a high level on an ongoing basis. This role requires an engineering mentality paired with data fluency and applied AI experimentation. You'll leverage Python for analysis, use Tableau to visualize key performance indicators and build text-driven workflows that help engineers interpret, act on, and communicate quality data more efficiently. This is a Quality Engineering role first, with AI as a force multiplier. You won't be developing AI models from scratch - you'll be integrating them into real-world factory workflows to scale Apple's quality systems with clarity, speed, and measurable impact.","responsibilities":"Identify and drive quality improvement opportunities in future products Lead Process FMEAs on new technologies and manufacturing processes Conduct technical failure analysis to support root cause investigations Generate and implement Product Quality Plans (PQPs) Establish quality monitoring mechanisms and metrics across the supply chain Build and maintain Python-based tools for data automation, transformation, and visualization Create Tableau dashboards for trend detection, anomaly flagging, and performance tracking Apply prompt engineering to design AI-powered workflows for smart search, RCA lookup, report summarization, and supplier interaction Pilot and refine agentic AI workflows that support test correlation, post-build analysis, and issue triage Ensure data foundations (ownership, labeling, quality) are established and maintained for manufacturability and analysis Collaborate with the in-house software/ML Ops team to validate and iterate on AI and automation concepts Gather and synthesize user feedback to continuously improve tool usability and adoption ## Related Videos - [Beyond Dashboards: Fixing Text-to-SQL with Semantic RAG](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2036-beyond-dashboards-fixing-text-to-sql-with-semantic-rag) - [Focoos AI: Building the Future of Computer Vision](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1659-focoos-ai-building-the-future-of-computer-vision) - [Finding the unknown unknowns: intelligent data collection for autonomous driving development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/519-finding-the-unknown-unknowns-intelligent-data-collection-for-autonomous-driving-development) - [Let’s Talk Quality!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100012-let-s-talk-quality) - [Data Analytics with Microsoft Fabric: End-to-End Use Case with Data Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1547-data-analytics-with-microsoft-fabric-end-to-end-use-case-with-data-agents) - [REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and more: A comparison of modern API styles](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100247-rest-graphql-grpc-and-more-a-comparison-of-modern-api-styles) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [The Prompt Engineer ✍️](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/216-the-prompt-engineer) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere)
