Role Overview We are looking for a Senior Product Owner / Technical Program Manager to drive Design Services program(s)– covering the Component Engineering Team Product Owner role and driving overall POD (Product Oriented Delivery) Program success while driving Productivity workstreams – and to personally build the AI/workflow automation.  The individual should be able to drive DS vision of fused, three-part profile: Build (Python/.NET, RPA, AI/LLM integration, API/MCP-first architecture); Product Owner mindset - outcome-driven backlog, Agile PI cadence, and Knowledge or awareness of  component/material engineering domain depth ( ERP/PLM, data flows) so the automation is trustworthy at Design Services' quality bar.

Own the Product Owner role for the Component Engineering Team and drive overall POD (Product Oriented Delivery) success – running an outcome-driven backlog, Agile PI cadence, and SLA execution. Personally build the AI/workflow automation behind the POD – Python/.NET development, RPA, and AI/LLM integration on an API/MCP-first architecture – rather than only specifying requirements for others to build. Drive part-maintenance and lifecycle passthrough automation progressing E2E passthrough toward FY27 exit targets. Carry Hoshin & Quality item ownership, tracking program health against OTD >95%, quality >99.8%, and CSS >9 commitments across a 100K+ part library spanning nine enterprise tools. Support the M&A digital integration playbook – item setup, BOM scrub,– to protect integration timelines. Apply knowledge of the component/material engineering domain – Part setup & CO, Lifecycle with ERP/PLM (Oracle, Agile PLM, Enovia, 3DX) and CAD data flows – to anchor the POD's automation so outputs are trustworthy at Design Services' quality bar. Lead major, cross-functional projects spanning multiple enterprise tools and product lines, determining and developing approaches to complex, ambiguous assignments; serve as a go-to resource for the department manager. Provide hands-on program leadership across the POD – setting direction, sequencing dependencies across peer workstreams, managing risk and escalation paths, and driving execution independently without day-to-day direction from the manager. Work laterally with peer Product Owners, engineering, and business stakeholders to align priorities and resolve blockers, exercising influence and ownership rather than waiting on top-down coordination. Report POD program status, risk, and KPIs to senior leadership, and dvelop toward rebuilding the Product Owner / leadership bench. Champion the Design Services vision of a fused, three-part profile – hands-on build, Product Owner mindset, and component/material engineering domain awareness – as the operating standard across the POD Qualifications   equired Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering with a combined electronics and software profile – either (a) Electronics/ECE with strong coding and technology program leadership skills, or (b) Computer Science Engineering with a working understanding of electronics and component engineering. 6–8+ years of relevant experience in engineering program/project management, product ownership, or
