ResponsibilitiesOwn end-to-end NPI service readiness and industrialization for Europe and India, ensuring new products are successfully introduced into service delivery with clear scope, success metrics, and launch gates (readiness, pilot, ramp, and steady-state).
Lead CapEx strategy and execution for NPI enablement across EMEA & India service sites: define equipment requirements, develop business cases, obtain approvals, manage procurement, and deliver installation/qualification on schedule and within budget.
Drive initial build and validation of NPI service capability, including:
Develop and execute NPI ramp plans that translate product engineering outputs into service-operable processes: work instructions, checklists, test scripts, quality gates, spares strategy, and process control plans.
Design and deliver technician enablement programs across EMEA & India:
Ensure business continuity for Keysight Services by proactively mitigating NPI-driven risk to customer delivery:
Act as the senior technical interface between Product Engineering, R&D, Services Ops, IT, Quality, Supply Chain, and Regional Service Leaders to align deliverables, timelines, and launch readiness.
Build and maintain integrated NPI program schedules (multi-site, multi-workstream): equipment readiness, software readiness, training readiness, documentation readiness, and go-live readiness.
Implement project governance and reporting:
Standardize and scale best practices across EMEA & India:
Support service delivery model alignment (VOSCAL, Onsite, RTK) by defining where NPI capabilities should live, how they should be supported, and what operational mechanisms are required for sustainable execution.
Drive cross-functional continuous improvement to improve readiness lead time, reduce ramp instability, and increase first-time-right capability deployment.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or equivalent technical discipline (Master's preferred).
8+ years experience in NPI, service enablement, manufacturing/test engineering, or technical program/project management within high-tech instruments, electronics, or measurement systems.
Demonstrated ability to lead CapEx planning and deployment: requirements definition, business case development, vendor coordination, procurement lifecycle, installation/qualification, and audit-ready documentation.
Proven experience driving initial build / pilot / qualification activities, including test systems bring-up, measurement validation, yield stabilization, and process industrialization.
Strong software and systems enablement understanding relevant to service operations (e.g., test automation, instrument control software, firmware alignment, data systems, configuration management, service tools).
Hands-on experience creating and executing training programs for technicians/engineers, including competency models, certification, and practical validation methods.
Advanced program/project management capability, including multi-site scheduling, risk management, critical path control, stakeholder governance, and executive reporting. (PMP/Prince2 or equivalent strongly preferred.)
Deep understanding of service operations and customer delivery models, including VOSCAL, Onsite, and RTK, and the tradeoffs across turnaround time, quality, cost, and customer experience.
Strong leadership and influence skills-able to align R&D, operations, quality, IT, and supply chain without direct authority; confident presenter to executives.
Ability to travel across Europe and India as needed for deployments, training, and ramp support (typical expectation 20-40%, adjustable by location/site distribution).
Experience specifically within Keysight Services or comparable electronic test & measurement service organizations (calibration, repair, upgrades, asset services).
Familiarity with regulated or audit-driven environments (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001), and quality systems that govern measurement integrity, calibration traceability, and controlled procedures.
Experience with business continuity planning in technical operations: redundancy strategy, capacity planning, alternate routing, rapid recovery playbooks, and risk-based launch gating.
Strong knowledge of spares strategy, supplier constraints management, and service BOM readiness for NPI.
Proven record deploying global process standards and scaling capability across multiple service hubs.
