From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The NPI Materials Program Manager is the primary owner of clear-to-build readiness across all development phases (Proto1, EVT, DVT, and PVT), ensuring material availability and qualification status meets program requirements and schedules. This role drives daily execution of material readiness through focused supplier management of COTS components and detailed BOM cost tracking.
Operating at the intersection of Hardware Engineering, Product Engineering, Supply Chain, and Sourcing teams, this position requires expert knowledge of consumer electronics BOMs and supply chain dynamics.
