About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions.
Role Overview:
Systems Hardware Engineering Program Manager play a critical role in supporting new hardware product development by creating and maintaining BOMs and managing material procurement. In this role, you will be responsible for materials readiness availabilityand visibility. This position will be supporting the hardware EPM group and the technical programs related to Aeva's next-generation LiDAR development.
What you'll be doing
Assess, and communicate issues and risks to HW deliverables associated with system timelines. This will include planning, release, and delivery of HW sub-systems like flexible printed circuit boards, development boards or printed circuit boards that are an integral part of system product developmentDevelopment by creating and maintaining BOMs, managing material procurement, and Engineering build tracking.In this role, you will be responsible for materials readiness, availability, and visibilityYou will also be responsible for processing engineering change orders (ECOs) and related BOM management activities in AgileOverseeing component material availability to ensure we are clear to build (CTB) for all builds, Leading contract manufacturing (CM) team that drives factory data and accuracyAssisting in material availability status reports/communications and escalations Creating/processing NPI related ECO's and sustaining ECO's that affect part changes throughout the lifecycle of the productsGenerating purchase requisitions, communicating with contract manufacturing finance teams, and conducting invoice reviewSupervising material logistics for new product development buildsWorking on multiple projects simultaneously and closely with the Engineering teamsWhat you'll have
