Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something - you’ll add something. There is a lot that goes into building the most secure yet user-friendly devices in the world. We are a unique Software Development group with a charter to secure our platforms that include iOS SW, iOS Devices, and Mac. We build solutions that are used by our customers, our engineering teams, and our manufacturing environments. We are looking for a detail-oriented technical engineering project manager who will partner with our Development, Quality Assurance, Infrastructure, and SRE teams to drive/lead/organize cross-functional efforts across Apple manufacturing environments. This role requires a motivated individual with strong communication, organization, and technical skills who work well in a fast-paced dynamic environment. Are you ready for this challenging yet highly visible and rewarding opportunity?
Description
Our organization works with many cross functional teams across the company. We’re looking for someone that can partner with our engineering managers and engineering teams to aid in aligning the cross functional teams on features, schedules, issues, etc... Our typical requests involve either enhancements to existing systems, augment features, or building completely new systems to meet business requirements. In any of these cases, we start off discussions/meetings with our cross functional partners to obtain, negotiate, and align on requirements. As an Engineering Project Manager, you will be key to facilitating/driving these discussions and meetings along with Engineering Managers and/or Engineers to collect/define/align/plan for any initiative. This initial phase will also involve spawning internal discussions with engineering managers, engineers (as required), QA, Infrastructure, and SRE teams to further understand the capability of existing systems, to reach consensus on whether to leverage existing, or to build new. Once it gets past the investigation and planning phase, it's time to work closely with all the stakeholders to define milestones and track them to ensure we are on target in successfully delivering the solution. From this point on, it’s project management 101 to make sure that all the dependent pieces are moving orderly through every step of the way until successful project completion. The engineering/infrastructure teams will look to the engineering project manager to help them prioritize and focus to maximize the level of efforts to meet the commitments in time with highest quality. You will also be required to produce documentation to clarify the scope and direction of the solution to make sure everyone's on the same page.
