Key Responsibilities

NPI / Build Execution

- Serve as Incubyte's on-the-ground engineering owner at the JDM, present for build events (EVT/DVT/PVT/MP) and day-to-day line activity.
- Drive build planning with the JDM: line setup, work instructions, fixture/tooling readiness, and build schedules, in line with the program plan set by the HQ Engineering.
- Own test and validation execution at the JDM — functional test, reliability/environmental test, safety/compliance test — ensuring test plans are followed and results are properly documented.
- Triage failures and defects in real time on the line; drive root cause analysis and corrective action with JDM engineering, escalating to Incubyte HQ hardware/firmware/quality teams and TPM as needed.
- Maintain and enforce the ECO/deviation process with the JDM — no unauthorized changes to BOM, process, or test procedures.
- Be the point of accountability for whether a build is "go" or "no-go" against exit criteria agreed with the HQ team.
-

Program Support (Feeding into HQ TPM)

- Execute against the master build/validation schedule owned by the HQ TPM — flag local dependencies, delays, or blockers as they arise.
- Surface schedule, quality, and supply risks observed in office promptly to the HQ TPM for the program risk register, rather than owning that register directly.
- Coordinate component/material readiness on-site with the JDM and local supply chain contacts, reporting line-down risk to the HQ TPM.




- Participate in the program's status cadence (daily stand-ups during builds, weekly program reviews) with accurate, timely local data: yield, open issues, schedule variance.
- Keep the shared action-item/issue tracker current for items owned locally, and drive them to closure with the JDM.
- Provide the HQ TPM with clear, data-backed local status updates so program-level reporting and decisions can happen at HQ.

Requirements

- 5-8+ years in NPI, technical program management, manufacturing engineering, or test engineering for electronic hardware products (cameras, sensors, IoT devices, or similar preferred).
- Direct experience running or supporting builds at a contract manufacturer or JDM/ODM, ideally in India or greater Asia.
- Working knowledge of DFM/DFT, test fixture design/bring-up, statistical process control, planning tools like Microsoft Project or Smartsheet.
- Comfortable reading schematics, BOMs, and mechanical drawings; able to communicate technical issues clearly across engineering, quality, and ops.
- Experience with ECO processes, deviation/waiver tracking, and formal build exit criteria.
- Strong bias for being physically present on the line, with the discipline to track and report status accurately to a remote program owner.
- Able to work Gurugram-based hours with overlap into Incubyte's US working hours for HQ TPM syncs and escalations.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience).
