Overview:

AMETEK NSI-MI is the premier source for advanced RF measurement solutions for aerospace, defence, satellite, wireless applications and beyond. Our elite team of experts oversee every step of the design, construction, and system integration process of measurement systems that are used to measure customer test articles such as antennas, radars, satellites, and similar equipment. These test systems are comprised of extremely high-precision mechanical positioners of varying sizes, and RF instrumentation that work in unison to characterize various devices under test. The long lifetime of these systems requires the delivery of parts and upgrades to overcome obsolescence and extend the viability of these systems well into the future.

The Program Manager is a key member of the customer support team and will oversee the delivery of parts and upgrades for domestic and international customers. He/she reports to the Division Vice President, System and Product Services. The Program Manager must demonstrate strong organizational skills, ability to plan effectively and drive tasks to fruition, as well as excellent communication, time management, and interpersonal skills. The candidate must be able to work independently and leverage experts to assist in the completion of the assigned programs.

He/she will be an ambassador of NSI-MI Technologies and will need to develop good working relationships with customers and efficiently execute assigned projects to ensure that they are satisfied with the Company's products and services.

It is also important that the Program Manager help identify potential new business opportunities including equipment upgrades, training and other products and services. The day-to-day activity is management of a portfolio of programs of various sizes, typically under $1M, with full responsibility for program financial management.

The ideal candidate will have work experience with RF systems or electromechanical components, experience in overseeing the delivery of complex technical systems or products and demonstrate an ability to manage tasks to schedule and budget.
