Engineering Program Manager, Wireless Regulation

Join Apple's Product Integrity team as an Engineering Program Manager (EPM) and play a pivotal role in bringing our groundbreaking products to the world. We are seeking a dynamic and strategically-minded program manager to lead global wireless certification, issues management, and resource planning for New Product Introduction (NPI) efforts across our ecosystem for Wireless products.

Description

This role stands at the intersection of hardware engineering, global policy, and product compliance. As a key program manager, you will lead complex wireless certifications across products, but also navigate regulatory issues in a fast-changing and cutting-edge technology space. All the while, you will manage resources and capabilities that will help us meet project schedules and objectives efficiently and effectively. In addition, this role will play a key part in exploratory technologies, and help ensure clarity among engineering and cross-functional players as the regulatory landscape changes rapidly. Correspondingly, this role will work with internal and external partners to enable the timely certification of our products and technologies.

The ideal candidate is a cross-functional leader, tenacious problem-solver, and a builder of systems who thrives on bringing order out of complexity. If you are passionate about technology, working across myriad technical and policy-focused domains, and enabling new products that enrich lives, then this role may be for you!
