Summary

Join Apple's Product Analysis and Compliance Engineering (PACE) team as a Senior Engineering Program Manager and play a pivotal role in bringing our groundbreaking products to the world. We are seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to program manage the global wireless certification process for our New Product Introduction (NPI) hardware.

Description

In this role, you will stand at the intersection of hardware engineering, global policy, and process innovation. You will not only drive the complex process of RF & wireless certification but also facilitate critical thought leadership on emerging regulatory landscapes in this domain. You will be expected to seek and implement efficiencies to optimize throughput and reduce costs. As our internal silicon development and engineering capabilities expand, you will play a crucial role in building intentional regulatory and certification capabilities that match the pace of innovation—ensuring we remain proactive rather than reactive in a rapidly evolving global regulatory environment. The ideal candidate is a cross-functional leader, expert problem-solver, and a builder of systems who thrives on bringing order out of complexity. If you are passionate about technology, disciplined in your execution, and motivated to solve challenging problems, we want to hear from you.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• 7-10+ years of experience in technical program management, project management, or a related role within a hardware development or NPI environment.

• Proven experience in cross-functional leadership, with a demonstrated ability to influence, align, and drive teams without direct authority.

• A strong track record of identifying and closing process gaps, and experience building scalable systems, frameworks, or processes from the ground up.

• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to structure and navigate ambiguous challenges.

• Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex information from multiple sources, facilitate consensus-building, and drive alignment on outcomes—especially when managing competing priorities and tradeoffs.

• Exceptional organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously.

• Outstanding communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical and regulatory concepts to diverse audiences.

• Familiarity with the RF/wireless technology space and/or regulatory compliance processes.

• Experience developing and executing strategic roadmaps in a global, multi-region environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience or MBA is a plus

• Experience with certification testing for consumer electronics (e.g., FCC, ISED, CE RED).

• Technical understanding of wireless technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and Cellular

• A technical background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• PMP Certification is a plus.

• Foreign language proficiency relevant in major markets also desirable.
