  • Lead engineering deliverables for EVT/DVT/PVT builds, including process validation, tooling readiness, operator training, and data review.
  • Ensure cross-functional alignment (supply chain, quality, test) for smooth product ramp-up and launch stability.
  • Manage engineering BOM setup, readiness reviews, and close collaboration with Program Management.
  • Identify and collaborate with RnD/Product organizations execution of automation opportunities, including robotics, guided assembly, digital work instructions, and in-line inspection.
  • Build and mentor a high-performing team of process, industrial, and NPI engineers.
  • Oversee project timelines, engineering change management, and resource allocation across active programs.
WHAT YOU WILL BRING
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related field).
  • 7+ years of experience in electronics or server manufacturing, including 2+ years in engineering leadership.
  • Proven success in high-mix, high-complexity production environments (server, networking, or similar).
  • Hands-on experience with NPI programs, lean manufacturing tools, process validation, and DfM/DfA implementation.
  • Working knowledge of BOM management, ECNs, MES systems, and manufacturing documentation.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills to work across technical, operational, and customer teams.
