Senior Technical Program Manager R&D

Nearfield Instruments develops and builds revolutionary high-throughput Scanning Probe Microscopy systems that empower the world's leading chipmakers to push the boundaries of semiconductor performance. As our technology and product roadmap grows more ambitious, so does the complexity of getting it from concept to customer. As Program Manager R&D, you will take ownership of one of our most critical, multi-disciplinary R&D programs — orchestrating the people, dependencies, and decisions that turn breakthrough technology into delivered systems.

• Leading the end-to-end execution of a complex, multi-disciplinary R&D program central to Nearfield's technology and product roadmap.

• Aligning and guiding cross-functional teams of project managers and technical experts together with the R&D Manager.

• Owning program scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and escalations.

• Collaborating with supply chain and external partners to ensure program readiness.

• Reporting program status and progress clearly to leadership and stakeholders.

• Ensuring continuous alignment with Nearfield's technology roadmap and customer expectations.

You are a strategic thinker with a hands-on mindset; someone who thrives in complexity and uncertainty, and who leads with clarity and confidence even when the path forward isn't fully defined yet.
