NPI Program Manager

About the Role

Navitas Semiconductor is seeking a driven, detail-oriented new graduate to join our NPI Program Management team. This entry-level role is focused on New Product Introduction (NPI), the structured process of taking a GaN or SiC power product from early development through qualification and commercial launch. You will be mentored by experienced NPI leaders while taking on program coordination, milestone tracking, and cross-functional execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and progressively own NPI program execution for GaN and SiC power product introductions, coordinating activities from kickoff through qualification, release, and production handoff.
• Own and maintain detailed NPI program schedules, milestone trackers, risk logs, and action item registers; proactively flag schedule risks and drive resolution.
• Execute the Navitas NPI gate review process: prepare gate packages, coordinate logistics, track entry/exit criteria, and ensure timely closure of actions.
• Coordinate NPI deliverables across R&D, process engineering, applications, quality, operations, and supply chain, ensuring teams meet commitments on schedule.
• Track product qualification milestones including design reviews, characterization, reliability testing, and qualification sign-off; escalate delays or gaps.
• Support supplier and foundry NPI coordination: monitor sample delivery schedules, track qualification lot status, and document supplier action items.
• Build and maintain NPI program status reports and dashboards using Microsoft 365 tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Planner).
• Apply AI productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Claude to accelerate documentation, status reporting, and communication.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of Navitas NPI processes, templates, checklists, and tracking tools.
• Build working knowledge of GaN and SiC device technology, power product design, and semiconductor qualification standards.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• BS in Electrical Engineering required; recent graduate.
• Prior internship, co-op, or research experience in the semiconductor, power electronics, or hardware product development industry.
• Exposure to NPI, stage-gate, or structured product development processes through coursework, internship, or senior capstone project.
• Foundational knowledge of electrical engineering principles, semiconductor devices, or power electronics.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple tasks, deadlines, and stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through; ability to track numerous open action items.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365 Suite including Excel (pivot tables, data organization, tracking), PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Teams.
• Familiarity with task and project management tools such as Microsoft Planner, Asana, Jira, or Smartsheet.
• Working knowledge of AI productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot or Claude.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with GaN, Silicon Carbide (SiC), or Wide Bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor technologies, device types, or process flows is preferred.
• Awareness of semiconductor qualification standards such as JEDEC, AEC-Q100/Q101, or reliability test methods is preferred.
• Experience with data analysis or visualization tools such as Excel advanced functions, Power BI, or equivalent is preferred.
• Experience with scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project or Smartsheet is preferred.
• Coursework or research in power conversion, electrification (EV, data center, renewable energy), or AI hardware systems is preferred.
• Experience leading or coordinating group projects in an academic or professional setting is preferred.
• Applicants with Product Engineering experience are highly encouraged to apply.
