The Opportunity :

We’re looking for an experienced Program Manager to take the lead on exciting new product launches — from concept to production. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind cross‑functional teams, making sure every program hits its targets on timing, budget, and quality. If you thrive in fast‑paced automotive environments and love seeing a project come to life, this is a great opportunity to make a real impact.

What You’ll Be Doing :

• Oversee new and revised programs from business award to successful production launch.
• Lead APQP teams, ensuring launches are completed on time, on budget, and to spec.
• Supervise Project and Design Engineers, keeping development and design activities on track.
• Work directly with customers to provide DFM / DFA feedback and feasibility improvements.
• Manage all program documentation — drawings, BOMs, change notices, and project history — to keep everything organized and audit‑ready.
• Coordinate prototype and production sample submissions, ensuring all quality and testing data are completed on time.
• Support production readiness by coordinating facility changes, new equipment installations, and packaging requirements.
• Participate in design and readiness reviews, and be hands‑on during build events and launch activities.
• Partner with purchasing and quality teams to manage sub‑suppliers and tooling vendors.
• Oversee tooling design, build, trials, and production sign‑off.
• Drive continuous improvement through cost‑reduction initiatives and process enhancements.
• Investigate and resolve customer concerns quickly and effectively during launch.
• Support post‑launch engineering changes and ongoing program improvements.
• Travel regularly to customer, supplier, and tooling partner sites to keep things moving smoothly.
