As a TPM I (and the team) were responsible for final assembly of the Apple Watch. I started before the first generation was released. We influenced the design to be more manufacturable while maintaining a balance of the overall industrial design goals. I worked on several other projects where I was solely responsible for the technical process development. As I became more senior, I was part of a core team to develop and bring up a new product at a vendor that had no Apple FATP experience. My work included fixture development, failure analysis, executive presentations, line layouts, factory optimization, quality (incoming, production and outgoing) and most other aspects of ramping a product.

It was a short period but I began training as a PLC controls engineer to program and spec out all of the electrical components and motors for the customer Serpa Machinery.
