• Lead assigned NPI programs from Marketing identification of customer and market needs through product requirements, engineering development and validation, design release, production readiness, and formal project closeout.
• Partner with Marketing, Technology, Systems, and Engineering teams to establish program scope, objectives, requirements, deliverables, milestones, assumptions, dependencies, and success criteria.
• Own the integrated program plan and operating cadence, including task planning, milestone reviews, action tracking, status reporting, decision management, and cross-functional follow-through.

• Coordinate multidisciplinary Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, Software, Controls, and related engineering activities to maintain alignment between technical workstreams and overall program commitments.
• Track engineering maturity and release readiness, including drawings, specifications, bills of material (BOMs), Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), validation activities, open technical issues, and Product Life Cycle (PLC) deliverables.
• Drive structured issue resolution, trade-off discussions, and escalation of technical or execution risks that could affect requirements, qualification, schedule, cost, manufacturability, or product readiness.

• Partner with Operations and Supply Chain to drive production-readiness activities such as material readiness, sourcing dependencies, manufacturing documentation, tooling or fixture needs, build planning, and transition of released product structures into ERP/MRP systems.
• Coordinate with Technical Support and Field Service to address serviceability, installation, support, documentation, and product-introduction needs required for a successful release and field transition.
• Facilitate readiness reviews and closure of critical gaps to confirm cross-functional deliverables are sufficiently mature to support pilot builds, release, ramp, and downstream product support.

• Manage program schedules, critical-path activities, risks, issues, dependencies, resource constraints, and recovery actions; proactively communicate impacts and escalate decisions when needed.
• Monitor product cost targets, costed BOM maturity, engineering project budgets, and key cost drivers; coordinate corrective actions with Engineering, Supply Chain, and Operations when performance is off plan.
• Provide concise, data-driven program updates to Engineering PMO and cross-functional leadership, clearly communicating status, accomplishments, risks, trade-offs, decisions required, and next steps.

• Lead or support Continuous Improvement Projects (CIP) and engineering initiatives that improve product performance, reliability, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, or execution effectiveness.
• Contribute to consistent Engineering PMO practices, including planning standards, program reviews, risk management, lessons learned, and reusable NPI processes and tools.
• Collaborate with and support other Program Managers while independently leading assigned programs, workstreams, or complex engineering projects appropriate to a Level III role.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of experience managing complex engineering, product development, or NPI programs requiring coordination across multiple technical disciplines and business functions.

• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification or equivalent formal project management training.
• Experience supporting semiconductor capital equipment, vacuum systems, wafer processing equipment, or similarly complex automated electro-mechanical products.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional NPI execution from product requirements and engineering validation through design release and production readiness.
• Working knowledge of complex electro-mechanical systems incorporating robotics, vacuum pumps, motors, heaters, power supplies, instrumentation, PLC/control systems, and PC-based controls.
• Ability to understand engineering drawings, system architecture, BOM structures, ECO/change-control processes, technical dependencies, verification and validation status, and product-readiness criteria.
• Strong program-management capability across scope, schedule, milestones, resources, cost, risk, issue resolution, change management, and stakeholder communication.
• Ability to analyze ambiguous, interdisciplinary problems, organize complex information, identify critical paths and trade-offs, and drive teams toward timely decisions and closure.
• Experience coordinating product cost, costed BOM, lifecycle deliverables, and cross-functional readiness activities in a complex manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, PowerPoint, and project planning/scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project; SAP or comparable ERP/MRP experience preferred.
• Familiarity with CAD tools such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks and the ability to work effectively with engineering design data is preferred.
• Excellent written, verbal, and executive-facing communication skills with the ability to influence without direct authority across technical and business functions.
• Adaptable, organized, and results-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining ownership, urgency, and attention to detail.
