About the role

Engineering Program Manager Intern on the Hardware Test Engineering (HWTE) team focused on improving design package quality, process efficiency, and operational visibility across the test equipment ecosystem. The role involves auditing documentation, analyzing workflows, coordinating with suppliers, building data foundations and AI-assisted tooling, and supporting global equipment bring-up with up to 50% travel in China and possibly internationally.

Responsibilities

  • Audit, score, and help standardize China-originated engineering documentation (CAD packages, 2D drawings, critical dimensions, GD&T, and specifications) against engineering rubrics so designs are complete, accurate, and transferable to global suppliers.
  • Map and analyze end-to-end fixture development workflows and Apple-supplier handoffs to identify schedule friction points, review cycle delays, and opportunities for process optimization.
  • Assist Apple engineering SMEs in tracking supplier technical readiness, organizing design review feedback, and aligning vendor deliverables with Apple's test station architecture and integration requirements.
  • Support the team in consolidating scattered trackers into structured datasets, piloting AI-assisted design review or telemetry tools, and preparing data-driven summaries and recommendations for HWTE leadership.
  • Travel domestically in China (and potentially internationally) up to 50% to manufacturing and vendor sites to support engineering reviews, documentation audits, and station bring-up.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Engineering Management, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (graduating within 0–6 months from the conclusion of the internship).
  • Available to complete a full-time 6-month internship in Shanghai, China.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: ability to read technical drawings (2D/3D CAD), parse engineering specifications, and quickly learn electro-mechanical system architectures.
  • Practical experience using modern AI/ML productivity tools, data automation, scripting (e.g., Python), or dashboarding to structure and analyze engineering data.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail in auditing technical documentation and mapping workflows.
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, in both English and Mandarin.
