NPI Materials Program Manager

The NPI Materials Program Manager is the primary owner of clear-to-build readiness across all development phases (Proto1, EVT, DVT, and PVT), ensuring material availability and qualification status meets program requirements and schedules. This role drives daily execution of material readiness through focused supplier management of COTS components and detailed BOM cost tracking. Operating at the intersection of Hardware Engineering, Product Engineering, Supply Chain, and Sourcing teams, this position requires expert knowledge of consumer electronics BOMs and supply chain dynamics.

The role maintains critical visibility of component costs, providing weekly cost analysis and bridges to support design decisions. A key responsibility is managing the systematic transition of materials ownership to Supply Chain team during PVT, ensuring smooth handoff of supplier relationships, open orders, and risk-buy inventory. Success in this role demands strong program management skills to coordinate across global teams, flexibility to manage Asia-based supplier relationships across time zones, and the ability to proactively identify and resolve material risks that could impact build schedules.
