  • Manage BOM readiness, AVL qualification, and component sourcing in partnership with supply chain and CMs
  • Own change management during NPI, including ECO tracking, revision control, and communication of changes to manufacturing partners
  • Plan and execute prototype, pilot, and production builds, tracking yield, defects, and corrective actions through ramp
  • Identify manufacturing risks related to design, process, or supply chain
  • develop mitigation plans and drive closure
  • Establish and track KPIs for board-level manufacturing, including yield, first-pass success, cycle time, and quality escapes
  • Coordinate closely with system, thermal, and mechanical teams to ensure board-level requirements are aligned with system integration and deployment
  • Provide clear, regular program updates to engineering leadership and executives, highlighting risks, tradeoffs, and decisions
  • Continuously improve board-level NPI and CM engagement processes to support faster iteration and scalable production

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline
  • 5+ years of experience in technical program management, hardware NPI, or manufacturing program leadership for PCBAs or complex electronic assemblies
  • Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers for board-level builds, including EVT/DVT/PVT and volume production
  • Strong understanding of PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, board-level test, and manufacturing quality systems
  • Experience managing cross-functional hardware programs involving EE, PD, SI, test, supply chain, and operations
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high technical and executional complexity
  • Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to align internal teams and external manufacturing partners
