THE ROLE:

The Diagnostics Program Management position is responsible for driving schedules, logistics, and overall execution for a diagnostics engineering team. This role ensures successful program delivery by coordinating cross‑functional teams, managing risks, and maintaining a strong focus on execution excellence and product quality. The ideal candidate is a highly collaborative leader who thrives in fast‑paced environments, meets aggressive timelines, and is willing to step into unfamiliar technical areas to remove blockers and keep programs on track.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is highly motivated, adaptable, and has a proven track record of delivering complex programs on aggressive schedules.

• Gather and define diagnostic, debug, and validation tool software requirements in collaboration with design teams, internal users, and customers
• Partner with functional and technical leads to review product roadmaps and technical documentation, translating requirements into executable program plans
• Manage development schedules to ensure on‑time delivery, while incorporating customer‑driven changes without impacting committed milestones
• Identify, track, and mitigate program risks and dependencies across teams
• Communicate program status through regular reports and presentations to technical leadership and key stakeholders
• Ensure accountability for on‑time delivery of all program milestones and deliverables
• Navigate ambiguity and adapt programs and teams to changing priorities in a dynamic environment
• Lead program budgeting and device expense planning

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
