Overview

Come join Veeco and lead a high-impact team shaping the future of manufacturing continuity and product lifecycle strategy.

As a Senior Program Manager - Product Manufacturing & Obsolescence, you will lead enterprise efforts to proactively manage component lifecycle risk across complex Bills of Material-ensuring the organization can build, deliver, and scale with confidence in a dynamic supply environment.

In this highly visible role, you'll turn data into insight and insight into action-driving decisions that protect product availability and operational stability. You'll partner across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing to build a forward-looking, scalable approach to lifecycle risk-staying ahead of disruption rather than reacting to it.

This is a mission-critical leadership opportunity to shape how a growing organization anticipates risk, strengthens resilience, and delivers at scale. If you thrive in complexity, lead through influence, and are motivated to build systems that prevent problems before they arise, you'll find unmatched ownership and impact here.
