Job Description:

At NI, we believe in the power and potential of making connections - between people, ideas, and technology. We are dedicated to helping businesses thrive today, tomorrow, and for the next 100 years. In the Semiconductor & Electronics industries, changes in technology requirements often outpace the test coverage that traditional approaches offer for analog, mixed-signal, and RF test. Test engineers need smarter solutions that address cost, scalability, design, and device challenges. As a SR&D Project Manager in the Semiconductor and Electronics Business Unit (SEBU), you will be responsible for ensuring the success and addressing business concerns on some of our largest, most important internal projects.

The NI Semiconductor & Electronics BU is seeking an expert Project Manager with strong leadership, communication, and project management skills. This individual will be accountable for driving complex projects, creating and maintaining a Project dashboard and providing constant communication to SEBU leadership about SR&D projects with details about execution, cost, and timelines. As needed, you will propose prioritization and tradeoff recommendations to maintain tight time-to-market expectations across multiple projects.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Responsible for successful delivery of Semiconductor & Electronics SR&D Projects with a clear plan to deliver on schedule, and optimize cost to stay within budget.

  • Work closely with project sponsor, business owners, cross-functional teams, and assigned engineers to plan and develop scope, deliverables, required resources, work plan, budget, and timing for new initiatives that help efficiently grow our business.

  • Work directly with R&D managers to monitor the execution of kicked-off projects, maintaining SEBU leaders informed of status changes, and finding creative mitigation options at the Project level.

  • Extend monitoring execution of project deliverables to other functions within the company, such as support & services, quality, metrology, hardware services, and others, to keep execution attention for all SEBU offerings, systems and non-systems alike.

  • Effectively communicate project status, tradeoffs, risks, and changes to stakeholders; including senior executive management.

  • Understand and utilize internal project management tools and processes related to development and release through various project phases. Be comfortable creating new processes as needed.

  • Partner with existing project teams and business leaders to accelerate project delivery.

  • Mediate and influence technical discussions and key business trade off decisions.

  • Improve and optimize cross-organizational role, processes, and interlocks across R&D, Support and Services, Quality, and other internal functions.
  • Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math).

  • 5+ years' experience in Technical Project Management of product, system, or solution development.

  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects/ tasks simultaneously and effectively prioritize projects and tasks - for self and others.

  • Methodical and process oriented individual.

  • Proven track record of working under critical deadlines and milestones.

  • Strong cross functional collaboration skills and an ability to influence.

  • Preferably a background in semiconductor industry or complex system development.
