NPI & Product Engineering Consultant

Accenture Semiconductor Practice is looking for a New Product Introduction (NPI) & Product Engineering Consultant to help semiconductor clients transform their product development and commercialisation processes. You will work across fabless, IDM, and OSAT environments to bring structure, speed, and strategic alignment across the product lifecycle — from early-stage engineering builds through mass production ramp-up.

Key Responsibilities

New Product Introduction (NPI)

Lead and support NPI strategy building and optimization, including engineering builds, pilot runs, and process readiness assessments

Drive phase gate reviews, product qualification, and ramp readiness activities

Collaborate with client engineering and program teams to accelerate time-to-market and reduce late-stage rework

Analyse and improve volume offloading strategies, including site transfers between Fab, OSAT, and test partners

Drive insights on product maturity metrics such as yield stability, test coverage, and cost performance

Product Engineering & Lifecycle Management

Map and align engineering (eBOM), manufacturing (mBOM), and repair (rBOM) structures to ensure data continuity and operational integration

Work with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain) to manage engineering change notices (ECN) and product configurations

Support the implementation or optimization of PLM systems, including workflows for part creation, release management, and change control

Ensure product data integrity and traceability across the product lifecycle

Stakeholder & Programme Management

Work with cross-functional teams and client stakeholders across design, manufacturing, and supply chain domains

Support programme governance, status reporting, and issue resolution across NPI workstreams

Contribute to knowledge-building and upskilling initiatives within the practice

Skills & Competencies


Technical

Strong understanding of semiconductor NPI and lifecycle processes, including phase gate reviews, qualification, and ramp readiness

Familiarity with PLM tools and BOM management (e.g. Agile, Windchill, Teamcenter)

Knowledge of engineering change processes and product configuration management

Ability to work cross-functionally across product engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain

Professional

Strong project management and structured problem-solving skills

Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills with an aptitude for compelling storytelling

Consulting mindset with comfort in ambiguous, fast-paced environments

Ability to effectively team with others in a large, global organisation

Experience & Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Automation, or related field

Minimum 2 years of experience in product engineering, NPI, or related roles within semiconductor, OSAT, or electronics manufacturing

Exposure to product or programme engineering, NPI support, or process documentation

Familiarity with any PLM platform (Agile, Teamcenter, Windchill, etc.) is a plus

Experience working with or implementing PLM systems and managing engineering change processes is highly desirable

Prior consulting exposure or transformation project participation is an advantage

Ability to work cross-functionally and engage with client stakeholders across design, manufacturing, and supply chain
