Deep Polymer, Film, and Safety Capacitor Expertise - Extensive professional experience across tantalum polymer (MnO and conductive-polymer types, including PFAS-free pellet and termination chemistry), aluminum polymer & electrolytic (etch architecture, conductive layer deposition, ESR/ESL behavior), film capacitor construction (winding geometry, self-healing metallization, voltage derating), and safety/Y-rated capacitors (safe-failure construction, IEC 60384-14 X/Y classification, creepage and clearance). In this senior role, you will serve as the primary technical expert bridging Apples cross-functional teams with our global network of capacitor suppliers across the full non-MLCC capacitor space: tantalum polymer (including PFAS-free transition), aluminum polymer, aluminum electrolytic, film, safety/Y-rated, and emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies.
