You will also drive the evolution of scalable NPI processes and tools across the organization. You will grow and develop leaders within your org, foster technical and programmatic excellence, and be a key thought partner to senior leaders in manufacturing and product engineering.

  • Develop and standardize NPI processes, building scalable systems and best practices that enable speed, clarity, and repeatable success across programs and sites
  • Communicate program health and risks to senior leadership, providing clear visibility into milestones, resource trade-offs, and execution blockers
  • Coach and grow NPI leaders, fostering a high-performing, technically strong team culture rooted in ownership, accountability, and development
What You’ll Bring
  • Degree in Engineering, or relevant experience
  • 10+ years of relevant experience, including 3+ years managing technical program teams or manager-level direct reports
  • Demonstrated experience leading NPI programs in a production/manufacturing environment; high-volume or automated environments preferred

  • Expertise in structured program management methodologies; experienced with agile or hybrid development cycles
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and complexity; thrives under pressure in dynamic, high-stakes environments
