Summary

Hitachi America's R&D Division in Santa Clara is Hitachi's research arm in North America. Its labs work with Hitachi's businesses in rail, energy, industry and digital infrastructure, and with research counterparts in Japan, to take new technology from the lab into use. One of its largest current efforts is a multi-site Physical AI program with Hitachi businesses and partners in the Americas, bringing robots and AI systems into the inspection and operation of industrial sites.

The Program Coordinator sits in the division's Program Management Office and is the coordinator for this program. The job is to keep its many parties moving together: the division's labs, Hitachi's research centers in Japan and other regions, the Hitachi businesses that host the sites, and outside partners such as technology providers, universities and startups. The role owns the program plan, meeting schedule, action tracking, stakeholder records and reporting. It suits someone who has run a program with many stakeholders and wants to learn how industrial AI is put to work.

Job Responsibilities

  • Maintain the program plan and calendar across sites, labs and partners. Prepare and run program meetings and workshops, record the decisions, and make sure the actions get done.
  • Keep track of what the program has promised to each business, partner and research counterpart, with dates, deliverables and reporting, and tell the program's leadership early when something is slipping.
  • Be the first contact for program members and outside parties on schedules, information and logistics. Bring new members from the labs, businesses and partners up to speed, and organize site visits and travel.
  • Coordinate with Hitachi's research centers in Japan and other regions so that work on the program stays aligned across time zones, and keep a shared record of who is doing what.
  • Follow the Program Management Office's processes for external engagements, agreements and contracts, working with Legal and the business units as needed.
  • Write status reports and briefing notes for R&D management, business sponsors and counterparts in Japan, with input from the technical leads, and make sure that what goes to partners meets export control, intellectual property and confidentiality rules.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, and three or more years coordinating a program with many stakeholders.
  • A record of keeping a program on schedule when the people involved sit in several organizations and none of them report to the coordinator.
  • Clear writing, and the ability to turn a technical discussion into a short summary that an executive or a partner can act on.
  • Careful with detail. Plans, trackers and records stay accurate and current.
  • Interest in robotics, AI and industrial technology. A technical background helps but is not required; willingness to learn Hitachi's businesses is essential.
  • Comfortable working across organizations, cultures and time zones, including with colleagues in Japan. Experience in an international organization is a plus.
  • Fluent with AI tools in everyday work, such as drafting and summarizing documents, preparing meeting notes and keeping plans and trackers current, and keen to find where they can take over routine coordination.

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.
