SoC Failure Analysis Engineering Program Manager

Job description

Apple's Engineering Program Management (EPM) team is seeking a seasoned Senior Engineering Program Manager to join and drive the SoC Failure Analysis (FA) efforts.

In this role, you will be the driving force behind the operational excellence and program execution of FA across Apple's silicon lifecycle. You will own process definition, sample and logistics flow, cross-site coordination, and institutional knowledge capture — while actively partnering with technical leads on debug engagements to move issues from failure signature to resolution with speed and rigor. Serving as the critical link between high-level system failures and IP/circuit-level voltage and performance limitations, you will coordinate efforts across design, validation, and Apple FA labs, directly supporting the engineers building the chips at the core of future Apple products loved by millions of customers.
Drive Technical Debug: Actively participate in bench-level functional debug on silicon validation boards and sockets, driving programs from failure signature through root-cause identification, and coordinate advanced EFA techniques (Sample Prep, EMMI, LVP, DLS, Nano-Probing, FIB) to isolate faults across analog, mixed-signal, and digital ICs.

Establish Processes and Workflows: Define, document, and continuously improve FA intake, triage, prioritization, escalation, and closure workflows across Austin and Cupertino labs, and lead initiatives that measurably reduce turnaround time and increase FA throughput.
