Technical Program Management

Technical Program Management (TPM) Team: NPI Project Delivery • The TPM team oversees end to end delivery of New Product Introduction (NPI) projects. • Each TPM Project Manager (TPM) is assigned an NPI project within a specific category. • The TPM evaluates project complexity and collaborates with key engineering functions to allocate necessary resources. • The TPM establishes critical engineering checkpoints to track progress and secure senior management approval. • Beyond engineering reviews, the TPM holds weekly project meetings with their team. • TPM manage project CAPEX when needed, ensuring spending stays within budget and requesting additional funds when needed. • Strong coordination and collaboration across engineering teams are essential; TPM must steer this and make tough decisions when required. • The TPM is responsible for mapping and achieving functional milestones at each checkpoint. • Success requires thriving in a fast paced, evolving environment and delivering optimal solutions within deadlines. • The TPM works closely with Operations to install production capacities at the right time. • TPM are committed team players: they’re flexible, proactive, and willing to exceed expectations. • TPMs collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver DF(X) and design to cost initiatives, ensuring project goals are met. TPM Responsibilities for NPI Projects • TPM Project lead will be assigned to individual project. • Assess NPI complexity and create a resource plan, secure buy in from engineering functions and coordinate staffing. • Set key checkpoints and engage stakeholders for their approval and input. • Guide engineering teams to define their deliverables and clear milestones, including relevant design contributions. • Ensure each function integrates required protocols, such as IQ/OQ/PQ or DFM and Mold Flow analysis, into their plans. • Align with Operations on project goals and deliverables. • Hold regular NPI review and share project updates with senior management. • Build strong relationships with teams outside engineering, especially RDD, Operations and outsource procurement, to support NPI success. • Maintain a project tracker covering health, timeline adherence, capital spending, DF(X), design to cost and risk projections. • Foster a collaborative and positive culture across the project team. • Provide key insights from Manufacturing and Operations perspectives. • Act as the escalation point for challenges, driving swift resolution. Candidate Requirements: • Holds a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronic Engineering. • Demonstrates a strong drive to learn and challenge existing production test and assembly methods. • Applies solid engineering judgement beyond their core discipline. • Has managed, directly or indirectly, a team of at least five people. • Works independently with minimal supervision. • Brings at least five years of relevant NPI project experience. • Experienced in regulated environments, including protocol driven processes like IQ/OQ/PQ. • Familiar with the challenges of outsourced operations. • PMP certification is an advantage.
