TL;DR · Senior NPI Program Manager

Sr. NPI Program Manager joins the Cloud Supply Chain Global Operations team to manage technical workstreams for network and AI infrastructure. This role involves driving projects from early development builds through production readiness, deployment, and sustaining handoff. The manager is responsible for establishing program milestones, managing dependencies, identifying risks, and coordinating activities across hardware engineering, DFX, supplier management, manufacturing, quality, and system integration. Key responsibilities include translating product requirements into executable operational plans, performing root cause analysis on build data, and leading readiness reviews to mitigate issues before production ramp. The role requires expertise in NPI, product engineering, and manufacturing processes to solve complex infrastructure challenges. Essential skills include cross-functional leadership, technical communication, and the ability to navigate constraints involving hardware development, supplier readiness, and large-scale datacenter infrastructure components like rack-level hardware and networking systems.

What you'll do

  • Drive technical NPI workstreams for network and AI infrastructure from development through production readiness.
  • Manage program milestones, dependencies, risks, and recovery actions for hardware projects.
  • Coordinate activities across engineering, manufacturing, supplier, quality, and deployment teams.
  • Translate product requirements into executable manufacturing and operational-readiness plans.
  • Analyze build and quality data to identify root causes and drive corrective actions.
  • Lead readiness reviews to ensure issues are resolved before production ramp and deployment.
  • Develop repeatable processes and documentation to improve future product launches and transitions.
  • Communicate project risks, decisions, and progress clearly to technical teams and senior leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience in engineering, manufacturing, operations, program management, hardware development, or consumer electronics.
  • Ability to pass the Microsoft Cloud background check.
  • Experience with hardware NPI, product engineering, DFX, manufacturing engineering, product development, or technical product launches (preferred).
  • Experience supporting development builds, engineering validation, manufacturing readiness, supplier readiness, production ramp, or sustaining transitions (preferred).
  • Experience independently owning technical workstreams, deliverables, risks, decisions, and measurable outcomes (preferred).
  • Experience coordinating across engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, quality, supply chain, operations, or deployment teams (preferred).
  • Ability to analyze technical/operational data, identify root causes, and drive corrective actions (preferred).
