10+ years (or equivalent) leading cross-functional programs and a team of HW/SW/NW engineers in NPI, supply chain readiness, infra hardware, data center deployment, or network/optical systems.
Demonstrated leadership of programs spanning software systems + physical infrastructure (e.g., tooling, data models, validation workflows).
Strong working knowledge of fiber/optical structured cabling concepts (MPO/LC ecosystems, polarity/keying, fanout/termination architectures, intra‑rack vs inter‑rack practices).
Proven ability to drive alignment across engineering, operations, sourcing, and suppliers; ability to set process guardrails and enforce release readiness.
Experience with data center network deployments (leaf/spine, fabric transitions, high-density rack builds) and understanding of rack-level constructability.
Familiarity with BOM/cut sheet/patch matrix workflows and the failure modes that cause build stops (template gaps, ownership ambiguity, late adds inside lead time).
Experience implementing release gates, catalog readiness controls, or “orderable + buildable” readiness checks for new parts.
Background in supplier qualification, alternates strategy, and forecasting enablement for long-lead materials.
Experience driving “build acceleration” improvements (prefab/kitting, labeling standards, error-proofing practices).
