About the role

NPI Sourcing Manager coordinating from concept through ramp for power and cooling systems (BESS, inverters, SST, E-STATCOM, MV switchgear, UPS, CDUs, chillers) ensuring manufacturability, qualification, and site readiness with cross-functional teams and suppliers.

Responsibilities

  • Own the NPI program for each new power or cooling product (BESS, inverters, SST, E-STATCOM, MV switchgear, UPS, CDUs, chillers) from concept selection through ramp, including the gate schedule, exit criteria, and risk register.
  • Drive early supplier design engagement: translate site requirements into product requirements and specifications, negotiate trade-offs with supplier engineering teams.
  • Lead DFM/DFT/DFx reviews with suppliers to ensure manufacturability, testability, and serviceability.
  • Plan and run prototype and pilot builds: define EVT/DVT/PVT scope and sample counts, witness builds, own test plans, drive root cause and corrective actions.
  • Qualify the product for deployment: define/execute first-article inspection, FAT, SAT, and integrated system testing, and sign off on production readiness.
  • Hand off to steady state: transfer qualified products, control plans, test procedures, and known-issue lists to Manufacturing Quality and Supply Chain Delivery teams, supporting first production ramps.
  • Build the reliability picture: run FMEA/DFMEA, define reliability targets and burn-in requirements, feed field failure data back into revisions.
  • Coordinate cross-functionally with design engineering, construction, commissioning, utilities/interconnection, safety, and sourcing to align NPI with campus delivery schedules.
  • Keep suppliers honest: track readiness and risk with metrics, escalate early, and conduct technical reviews to resolve issues.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of engineering experience in power electronics, electrical equipment, or industrial energy systems, with at least 4 years in an NPI/product development/product engineering role
  • Direct, hands-on experience with at least two of: BESS, utility- or data-center-scale inverters, medium-voltage transformers or switchgear, UPS, STATCOM/power-quality equipment, or liquid cooling systems (CDUs, chillers, hydronics)
  • Working knowledge of UL 9540/9540A, UL 1741 and IEEE 1547, IEEE 2800, IEC 62477 / IEC 62909, IEEE C37 and C57, NFPA 70/855, UL 1778, and comparable IEC equivalents
  • Experience defining and executing structured qualification programs (EVT/DVT/PVT, FAT/SAT, type testing, reliability testing) and CAPA
  • Familiarity with supplier factory environments and ability to assess readiness to ship at rate
  • Fluency in design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test principles and supplier ECO/change-control process
  • Strong systems thinking for integrated site behavior of inverter, battery, transformer, and cooling loop
  • Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable driving decisions across engineering, supply chain, and executives
  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, or power engineering, or equivalent experience
  • Willingness to travel 30–40% to supplier factories and data center sites, including internationally
