You start the morning by checking the project deliverables for an upcoming DVT build. The mechanical engineer tells you that a tooling modification may be finished a few days later than planned. Instead of immediately moving the build date, you first figure out what the delay actually means. Which parts will be late? Are they needed for the whole build, or only for certain tests? Can some validation still go ahead without them? And most importantly, does this delay affect the project's overall timeline?
You then align with Product Development Team and the manufacturing partner, update the project risk, and bring the team a clear recommendation: keep the original build date by splitting the build into two stages, allowing the delayed items to follow later without postponing the entire build.
Later in the day, results from yesterday's EVT build have come back from the factory. Most units passed, but a few showed inconsistent functional-test failures after final assembly. You bring Firmware Engineer and Quality Engineer together to structure the investigation and agree on the next steps. Is the failure repeatable? Does it only happen on a certain configuration? Could it be related to the product, the assembly process, the test fixture, or the test method itself? Before the discussion ends, everyone is clear on what needs to happen next, who owns it, when it needs to be done, and who to involve if the issue cannot be resolved in time.
By the end of the day, you update the project plan and send the team a concise summary, including the updated plan, risks, open actions, decisions, and next steps. The goal is simple: everyone should know what is blocking the product, what happens next, who owns each action, and whether the next build is still realistically on track.
Job details
- Own and maintain the product development plan from Concept & Feasibility through EVT, DVT, PVT, and Mass Production build, including phase-gate readiness.
- Coordinate milestones, dependencies, and deliverables across Design, Engineering, Firmware, Software, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and manufacturing partners.
- Identify schedule, technical, validation, manufacturing, material, and capacity risks early, and drive recovery plans with clear owners, actions, deadlines, and escalation when needed.
- Coordinate engineering builds and provide on-site support at manufacturing partners during EVT, DVT, PVT, and early MP builds when required.
- Drive product validation activities, including reliability, performance, environmental, and regulatory testing. Track failures, corrective actions, and unresolved risks through the relevant development phase.
- Provide clear project visibility and drive cross-functional alignment on current status, key risks, decision points, and upcoming deliverables.
- Drive production readiness across materials, tooling, fixtures, production testing, quality controls, manufacturing processes, capacity, and ramp planning in collaboration with Engineering, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain and manufacturing partners.
Skill required
- 6+ years of experience in NPI, engineering project management, hardware product development, or a related role, with hands-on experience in consumer electronics.
- Demonstrated experience driving hardware products through NPI phases, including EVT, DVT, PVT and Mass Production.
- Experience working directly with ODM/OEM/JDM partners, suppliers or factories during product development and engineering builds.
- Professional working proficiency in English, including hosting meetings, writing project updates, and explaining technical topics.
- Willing and able to travel to manufacturing sites when engineering builds or production issues require on-site support.
