  • Ensure NPI Material Managers align material availability and CTB with the NPI build schedule and Supply Commit Review (SCR).
  • Monitor upcoming Arista Build Start Requirements (ABSR) and proactively address readiness gaps before they impact the build.
  • Drive CM execution of NPI and TQ builds, taking immediate corrective action on schedule variance and enforcing recovery plans for at-risk builds.
  • Serve as the single point of accountability and escalation for operational issues impacting NPI execution, driving rapid cross-functional resolution of critical-path roadblocks.
  • Identify opportunities to pull in build schedules, facilitate capacity and allocation decisions between NPI and production, and escalate when additional resources or leadership support are required.
  • Lead cross-functional alignment across Hardware Engineering, NPI Materials, Manufacturing Engineering, Test Engineering, Planning, Quality, POMs, NPI Engineering, and CM teams to deliver build targets.
  • Partner with POMs to secure product-specific manufacturing, test, quality, and operational requirements impacting build execution.
  • Maintain executive visibility into build status, risks, recovery actions, and resolution paths, ensuring committed builds are completed successfully and on time.
  • Enforce CM accountability for NPI execution, own NPI-related inputs and scoring metrics for the CM QBR, and drive corrective actions for recurring execution issues.
  • Drive lessons learned, standard best practices, and process improvements to improve build readiness, schedule predictability, and CM execution across assigned sites.
  • Ensure mass production PO readiness at Pre-Pilot (PPLT).

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Manufacturing, or related relevant field.
  • 5–8 years of experience in NPI, manufacturing, operations, program management, or contract manufacturing.
  • Experience managing NPI builds and working directly with Contract Manufacturers.
  • Strong understanding of NPI processes, build readiness, manufacturing operations, and schedule management.
  • Proven ability to drive execution, manage competing priorities, and deliver against aggressive Time-to-Market targets.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to hold internal and external teams accountable.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
