Engineering Build Planner
, you will be the central coordinator for all engineering build activities — from early prototypes to pre-production and production hardware/software. You will lead cross‑functional teams and work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure builds are successfully planned, executed, tracked, and delivered with the right configuration, quality, and timing to support product development milestones. You will be the main liaison between Go‑to‑Market (GTM) PM, Product PM, design engineering, validation, material planners, operations, and contract manufacturers (CMs), making sure the engineering builds stay on schedule and issues are resolved quickly and effectively.

• BS in Engineering (Manufacturing, Industrial, Electrical, Systems, or related discipline), or equivalent practical experience.
• 10–15 years of experience in engineering build planning, manufacturing, operations, or NPI execution.
• Strong combination of technical understanding, operational execution, and program leadership.
• Proven ability to operate effectively in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities and tight deadlines.
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and vendors.
• Deep understanding of NPI cycles, supply chain processes, and material planning systems.
• Solid experience with ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP) and data‑driven planning tools.
• Willingness and ability to travel as required (may exceed ~30% for certain projects).

• Build & Program Ownership: Own the end‑to‑end planning and execution of engineering builds, including early prototypes, pre‑production, and production‑intent hardware and software. Align build schedules to Go‑to‑Market milestone plan.
• Execution & Cross‑Functional Leadership: Lead Build Readiness and Build Execution meetings; define scope, assign ownership, and drive closure with urgency. Serve as the primary point of contact for CMs; actively manage execution and resolve issues across schedule, quality, cost and logistics.
• Materials, Orders & Data Accuracy: Manage Prototype Build Requests and PCB orders from initiation through fulfillment, including SAP entry, order tracking, and accuracy validation.
• Continuous Improvement: Independently create and adjust build plans to meet aggressive project timelines. Establish and monitor critical execution metrics to drive predictability and accountability.
