The Program Manager is responsible for planning, executing, and delivering complex New Product Development (NPD) programs within scope, schedule, and budget using a structured Product Management Process (PMP) with stage-gate methodology and measurable Gantt-based timelines.

  • Manage program scope, schedule, and cost to ensure on-time and within-budget delivery
  • Identify program risks and lead cross-functional teams to mitigate risks proactively
  • Coordinate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure seamless product development and launch
  • Support new product introductions in collaboration with Process Engineering
  • Track and resolve quality issues and defects, driving improved product reliability
  • Establish and maintain program budgets and operating plans
  • Conduct stage-gate meetings, reviews, and decision checkpoints
  • Manage Change Control Board (CCB) activities and ensure proper change governance
  • Provide accurate and timely program status reporting throughout the lifecycle
  • Maintain clear and transparent communication with stakeholders regarding progress, risks, and key decisions
  • Manage prototype parts and coordinate material procurement through close interaction with vendors.
  • Ensure achievement of program objectives including customer satisfaction, safety, quality, and team performance
  • Implement corrective actions and program interventions to meet performance targets

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in program/project management or related roles
  • Strong knowledge of program management processes, including stage-gate methodologies
  • Experience working in electronic product design and manufacturing environments, preferably in power electronics or UPS systems

Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience with power converters and UL requirements is highly desirable
  • Strong problem-solving skills, engineering knowledge, and ability to exercise independent judgment
  • Ability to manage multiple programs and priorities simultaneously
  • Strong organizational, written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft applications including Word, Excel, Outlook, Microsoft Project (or equivalent tools)
  • PMP certification preferred

What's in It for You:
  • Competitive compensation, including holiday pay and paid time off
  • Comprehensive benefits package: medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) with company contribution
  • Life and disability insurance, and family medical leave
  • Tuition reimbursement and employee referral programs
  • Employee assistance program
  • A fast-paced, innovative environment where you can make a meaningful impact
  • Opportunities for career growth within the business unit and across AMETEK
