NPI TPM, Product Engineering
Own cross-functional hardware NPI programs from kickoff through rate production, coordinating engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain. The role requires 5–10 years of technical program management experience, an engineering degree, and strong judgment across schedule, risk, and design-change decisions.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Own program schedules, stage gates, and cross-functional execution for a rack, gear, or power-conversion product family from kickoff through rate production.
- Manage risks and dependencies across design, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain.
- Facilitate gate reviews and readiness scoring, enforcing criteria for production readiness.
- Broker escalations and decisions between engineering and data-center delivery teams, particularly for long-lead components.
- Build credible schedules with explicit assumptions and decision dates despite design uncertainty.
Requirements
- 5–10 years of technical program management experience for hardware new product introduction (NPI) at an OEM, ODM, or hyperscaler.
- Engineering degree and sufficient technical depth to participate in design reviews.
- Experience making recovery decisions for slipping programs, including scope, schedule, and spending tradeoffs.
- Experience managing DVT-stage component changes against 20-week-plus lead times.
- Ability to manage risks across five or more workstreams using appropriate tooling and judgment.
Nice-to-haves
- GPU or dense-compute hardware program experience.
- Switchgear or power-conversion NPI experience.
- Contract manufacturer management.
- Engineering change order (ECO) and change-discipline systems experience.
Compensation
- $208,000–$263,000 annual salary.
