NPI Cross PM
Remote position
Full time
Responsibilities:
• Cross-platform demand consolidation
o Own end-to-end collection and alignment of new-product demand signals for rack power and thermal commodities across all AI hardware platforms
o Build and maintain a single source of truth for commodity demand — consolidating legacy, partner-specific trackers into one standard format rather than proliferating parallel files
• Material procurement and purchase order management
o Apply the right receipt and matching model for each destination (lab, data center, warehouse, or partner site) and flag non-compliant requests before they cause delays
o Maintain a consolidated purchase order tracker and keep stakeholders current on material status and arrival dates
• Second-source qualification
o Own and drive qualification of alternate-source components across power supply units, rack frames, power whips, and horizontal and vertical busbars — building supply resilience and cost competitiveness
o Track qualification milestones and timelines, manage engineering sample procurement and logistics, and report status to program stakeholders
• Manufacturing partner readiness
o Manage qualification activities with contract manufacturers, confirming manufacturing and material readiness against program requirements
o Coordinate build readiness reviews and track partner capacity and capability
