I served as both Product Lifecycle Manager (PLM) and Program Manager for this tool, which is built around five engineering modules managed by global teams.

Program Manager

  • Used Agile methodologies to lead development of the TND (Technical Node Development) application in the SAP Variant Configurator.
  • TND would enabled customers—including Intel, TSMC, and Samsung, etc —to configure and order these complex machines through a secure online portal.
  • Coordinated weekly meetings with all five global teams—from project kickoff through testing and IT hand-off—ensuring on-time, on-scope delivery.

Product Lifecycle Manager (PLM)

  • Combined Waterfall and Agile approaches to match each project’s needs, typically juggling 10–12 active projects at once.
  • Managed the project-management triangle of scope, schedule, and cost while driving continuous BOM accuracy.
  • Maintained a live BOM of 8,000+ line items for Centris Sym3, adapting to constant engineering changes without disrupting downstream teams.

I built a Quality Management System (QMS) from scratch that aligned with ISO 9001 standards, in preparation for our first certification audit. The QMS included documented processes, procedures, and controls to ensure consistency, audit readiness, effective training, and regulatory compliance across multiple teams, including engineering and production lines.
