NPI Program Manager

About the Role

FuriosaAI is seeking an NPI Program Manager to drive the seamless transition of our AI accelerator cards and server-level solutions from development to global mass production. In this role, you will be the cornerstone of our hardware delivery, bridging the gap between FuriosaAI’s internal R&D (TPM) and external manufacturing partners.

This position requires a unique blend of technical understanding and operational excellence. You will manage the critical productization and ramp-up phase—ensuring material readiness, managing build schedules, and establishing the foundational supply chain for our cutting-edge AI hardware. If you are a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, global environment and is excited to define the future of AI infrastructure, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Mass Production Readiness: Lead the end-to-end NPI process, ensuring smooth handover from TPMs to global manufacturing partners and aligning validation SOPs for production.

• Global Partner Management: Act as the primary liaison with external hardware partners to manage build schedules, track material readiness, and ensure timely delivery of pilot and mass production units.

• Operational Ownership: Accountable for the entire operational flow including PO management, inbound tracking, and inventory control to ensure stable product supply.

• Cross-functional Coordination: Facilitate NPI meetings with Product, Engineering, and Quality teams to identify and resolve bottlenecks in the production ramp-up phase.

• Process Optimization: Drive internal process improvements to remove gaps across multiple functions, ensuring scalable and repeatable manufacturing workflows.

• Technical Documentation: Support the development of clear guidelines for product integration, manufacturing tests, and quality standards in collaboration with technical teams.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent practical experience).

• Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders.

• Fluency in English for regular meetings and documentation with global partners.

• Proactive and detail-oriented mindset with a willingness to learn new technologies and hardware concepts.

• Basic understanding of computer systems, or a strong motivation to learn about AI hardware manufacturing processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3-5+ years of experience in a similar role, such as NPI management, technical project management, or supply chain operations.

• Experience working with hardware or system-level solutions (e.g., servers, cards, or AI accelerators).

• Familiarity with server manufacturing or integration processes with external partners.

• Ability to manage projects using structured methodologies and tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, or ERP systems).
