Position: Project Coordinator Location: Cupertino, CA Fulltime Position Role Summary The Reliability Program Specialist (RPS) or Project Coordinator is a program‑coordination DRI embedded with Retail REL (and parallel roles for Beats REL). The RPS will: Own scheduling & integration tables across multiple programs and DRIs. Create executive‑ready Keynote decks to communicate status, risks, and asks to partner teams. Analyze small datasets (hundreds of rows) to produce plots/curves and tell the story (trends, conclusions, recommendations). The group uses JUMP to handle data. Facilitate cross‑functional alignment with RE/PD/SQE/vendor partners across the globe including China. Provide light reliability support (terminology, DOE/FMEA awareness) while deferring deep FA or lab execution to engineering owners. Scope of Work A) Program Orchestration Build & maintain master schedules for assigned programs; update integration tables daily/weekly. Track dependencies, risks, and decision points; drive follow‑ups across DRIs. Maintain a single source of truth for status, highlighting critical path items and upcoming gates. B) Communication & Keynote C) Data Storytelling (Excel‑Level) D) Cross‑Functional Alignment Coordinate with RE, PD, SQE, vendors and other DRIs to ensure who/what/when is understood and committed. Keep meeting notes actionable; convert decisions into schedule updates and clear next steps. E) Light Reliability Support (as needed) Understand the basics of reliability test planning and standards and help package information from engineering owners into consumable summaries. Deep FA methods (X‑ray/SEM/FTIR, etc.) remain with engineers; the RPS does not own lab execution. Must‑have Demonstrated project or program coordination across multiple concurrent efforts. Keynote proficiency (or equivalent) for executive‑ready storytelling. Excel comfort (charting, basic functions, plotting curves) and data narration. Strong written & verbal communication; stakeholder management; attention to detail. Engineering background preferred (Mechanical/Electrical/Materials) for context; reliability can be taught on the job. Nice‑to‑have Familiarity with DOE/FMEA and common reliability vocabulary/standards (JEDEC/ASTM). Experience coordinating with vendors and lab logistics (calibration, readiness). Not required Coding or advanced data science; dashboard development. Deep failure analysis ownership (SEM/X‑ray/FTIR) or heavy lab execution. Tools & Systems Keynote (primary deliverable format). Excel (data preparation and charting). Client standard tracking (e.g., Jira/issue trackers) for requests and follow‑ups.
