Job Purpose:
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.
With more than 30 years of combined expertise in wide bandgap technologies, GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection, delivering faster power delivery, higher system density, and greater efficiency. GeneSiC™ high-voltage SiC devices leverage patented trench-assisted planar technology to provide industry-leading voltage capability, efficiency, and reliability for medium-voltage grid and infrastructure applications.
Key Responsibilities- Support and progressively own NPI program execution for GaN and SiC power product introductions — coordinating all activities from program kickoff through product qualification, release, and production handoff.
- Own and maintain detailed NPI program schedules, milestone trackers, risk logs, and action item registers across assigned programs; proactively flag schedule risks and drive resolution.
- Execute the Navitas NPI gate review process — preparing gate packages, coordinating review logistics, tracking gate entry/exit criteria, and ensuring timely closure of open actions.
- Coordinate NPI deliverables across all contributing functions — R&D, process engineering, applications, quality, operations, and supply chain — ensuring each team meets their NPI commitments on schedule.
- Track product qualification milestones including design reviews, characterization, reliability testing, and qualification sign-off; elevate delays or gaps to the NPI program lead.
- Support supplier and foundry NPI coordination — monitoring sample delivery schedules, tracking qualification lot status, and documenting supplier action items.
