Own developing and executing program plans, enabling prototype builds, engineering test builds, interaction with engineering and drive production line readiness plus ramp plans for products deployed in global market.
Think Strategically: Ensure alignment of defined strategies between product, sourcing and CM manufacturing sites globally. Strategically lead the program team, establishing the plan and direction for the programs assigned by guidelines set by Director. Set clear objectives and ensure alignment with organizational goals.
Risk Management: Identify, communicate, and manage program risks and mitigation plans to ensure product readiness for initial NPI builds as well as enabling long-term supply continuity into production, including changes to product and schedule needs.
Lead program readiness, gate reviews with cross functional teams while adapting quickly to changing product and schedule needs.
Drive product and supply chain readiness for all NPI builds from concept phase to production handoff, partnering with cross-functional teams, such as engineering, product management, sourcing, manufacturing, R&D, systems, applications, quality/reliability, project services, asset management teams and externally with global vendors (CMs) to ensure success.
Innovate: Identify opportunities for processes improvement, then develop tools and methodologies to improve efficiencies across the organization.
Solve Hard Problems: Deep dive technically to drive resolution of technical issues in case of program escalations. Drive and own problem solving and report out challenges encountered on the program that affect Time, Cost, Quality.
