As an NPI PCB Technical Program Manager on the OPS Quick Turn PCB Engineering Service Team, you will lead complex, cross-functional programs from concept to production. You will manage end-to-end technical program management for advanced high-density-interconnect and high-layer-count PCB builds, collaborating with engineering, product leaders, and supplier R&D teams. Your daily responsibilities include managing stack-up reviews, DFM, material procurement, and risk mitigation while tracking order status and monitoring metrics like cycle time and yield. You will utilize technical knowledge of CCL, prepreg, and impedance to drive trade-offs regarding cost and schedule. The role requires proficiency in SAP PRD and Windchill or similar PLM/ERP platforms. This position addresses the critical challenge of managing high-complexity PCB manufacturing for advanced compute, GPU, networking, and AI hardware platforms within a fast-paced technical environment.
Manage end-to-end technical program lifecycles for high-density and high-layer-count PCB builds from concept to production.
Lead cross-functional teams including engineering, SI/PI, DFM, and suppliers to meet project timelines and technical requirements.
Drive technical decision-making regarding trade-offs between schedule, cost, yield, and development risks for advanced materials.
Develop and maintain detailed program schedules, critical paths, and risk registers for complex PCB programs.
Execute just-in-time risk-buy strategies and resolve capacity or blocking issues with global PCB suppliers.
Track and communicate full-path PCB ordering status and data-driven metrics to internal engineering teams and executive leadership.
Define and monitor key performance indicators such as cycle time, delivery accuracy, and NPI quality.
Improve team scalability by refining tools, workflows, and processes based on post-mortem lessons learned.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
10+ years of recent experience as a Project Manager, Materials Manager, or equivalent in the NPI field.
Technical proficiency in PCB development and manufacturing including stack-up, materials, HDI/HLC processes, DFM, impedance, and panel utilization.
Proven ability to lead geographically distributed cross-functional teams and coordinate with local and offshore suppliers.
Experience managing multiple concurrent programs with shifting requirements and tight timelines while driving risk mitigation.
Strong analytical skills to collect and communicate complex technical data to both engineering leaders and executives.
Practical experience using SAP PRD and PDP or similar PLM/ERP platforms like Windchill.
Preferred experience in advanced compute, GPU, networking, or AI hardware platforms with high-density-interconnect (HDI) and high-layer-count (HLC) PCBs.
