Description

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate end-to-end execution of hardware tester system programs consisting of multiple PCBAs, mechanical parts, cables, connectors, power components, and system accessories.

• Track program milestones from concept, NPI, and prototype builds through validation and production readiness.

• Manage board-level and system-level BOM readiness, material availability, and part number tracking.

• Drive hardware build planning and execution across multiple boards and subsystems simultaneously.

• Partner with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Validation, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Operations, and external suppliers to resolve issues and maintain schedules.

• Track engineering changes, material shortages, build risks, and dependency blockers.

• Monitor build status, integration readiness, bring-up activities, validation progress, and issue closure.

• Maintain program dashboards, action item trackers, risk registers, and executive status reporting.

• Coordinate supplier and manufacturing partner activities to ensure material and build readiness.

• Facilitate regular cross-functional meetings and drive accountability for deliverables and action items.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, or a related technical field.

• 3+ years of experience in hardware program management, project coordination, NPI operations, or manufacturing operations.

• Experience supporting PCBA-based products, server platforms, test systems, or hardware infrastructure programs.

• Strong understanding of BOM structures, hardware part numbering systems, material planning, and engineering change processes.

• Experience managing multiple board builds and system integration activities concurrently.

• Ability to interpret and track hardware assemblies, PCBAs, mechanical components, cables, and subsystem dependencies.

• Proficiency with project management tools, spreadsheets, and issue tracking systems.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting tester, fixture, validation, manufacturing, or datacenter hardware programs.

• Familiarity with hardware part numbering and BOM structures (e.g., board assemblies, system assemblies, manufacturing BOMs, and engineering BOMs).

• Experience working with contract manufacturers and hardware suppliers.

• Understanding of NPI, prototype, EVT/DVT/PVT, or manufacturing build processes.

• Experience coordinating material readiness, build execution, and validation activities in a fast-paced hardware environment.
