Role Overview

What You Will Do
The main day-to-day responsibilities include building a stage-gate NPI process, running multiple concurrent NPI programs, defining what 'ready to transfer' means with manufacturing engineering, and enforcing change discipline at a pace that keeps up with the largest AI compute buildout in history.
Why It Might Be a Fit
