Program Engineer

NxEdge, an Enpro company, provides vertically integrated engineered materials, precision machining, surface technologies, cleaning, coating, and refurbishment solutions supporting the global semiconductor value chain. The Product Line Engineer supports semiconductor gas dispersion systems, shower heads, and related precision components by coordinating the front end of the product lifecycle—from customer requirements, quoting inputs, design intent, and manufacturability review through readiness for integration.

This role reports to the Director of Product Management – Gas Dispersion Systems and Shower heads and serves as a cross-functional bridge between Product Management, Engineering, Commercial, Quality, Operations, Supply Chain, and the integration team. The position emphasizes early technical alignment, controlled product definition, qualification planning, risk identification, and a clean transfer of new parts into integration with the information, documentation, and decision clarity required for successful execution.

• Reports to the Director of Product Management – Gas Dispersion Systems and Shower heads.
• Provides front-end product-line engineering support for semiconductor parts, with emphasis on requirements clarity, manufacturability readiness, and integration handoff rather than daily production ownership.
• Translates customer, market, quality, and manufacturing inputs into clear part requirements, technical assumptions, risk registers, qualification expectations, and integration-ready documentation.
• Supports the early phases of the product lifecycle, including opportunity assessment, quoting, technical scoping, NPI planning, qualification strategy, and integration of new parts into NPI system.
• Partners across Boise, Singapore, and other NxEdge locations as needed to reinforce process consistency, knowledge transfer, and “copy exact” execution.
• Supports customer technical reviews, audits, failure analysis, corrective actions, and product performance discussions.

• Own and coordinate the front-end technical package for assigned semiconductor part families, including customer requirements, drawings, specifications, design assumptions, manufacturability inputs, qualification needs, cost drivers, and integration handoff criteria.
• Partner with Product Management to develop and maintain market and product requirements, translate voice-of-customer inputs into technical deliverables, and support product roadmap execution.
• Coordinate new product introduction readiness by aligning technical requirements, manufacturability reviews, risk assessments, validation expectations, first-article requirements, and closure of open technical items before transfer into the integration team.
• Work with Commercial and Product Management teams during quoting to validate product scope, manufacturing assumptions, cycle times, material requirements, tooling needs, outside processing, technical risk, and non-recurring engineering requirements.
• Serve as the technical coordination point during the transition from product definition to integration, ensuring part intent, special process considerations, inspection expectations, tooling needs, and open risks are clearly communicated and understood.
• Lead or coordinate root cause investigations, failure analyses, 8D corrective actions, and recurrence-prevention activities related to returns, customer complaints, and product performance issues.
• Track front-end product readiness indicators such as requirements completeness, documentation status, qualification risks, technical assumptions, open actions, and integration handoff maturity.
