Corp. is a premier manufacturer of custom and standard high-frequency RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave interconnect solutions. For over 60 years, Delta has served top-tier prime contractors and OEMs across the aerospace, defense, space, and semiconductor industries.\n\nPositioned for year-over-year growth in bookings and shipments, Delta is expanding its enterprise management structure to ensure execution discipline matches our technical capabilities.\n\nPosition Summary\n\nThe Strategic Program Manager serves as the central driver of customer execution across Delta Electronics. Operating as an enterprise integrator, this role bridges customer requirements directly into shop floor and engineering execution ensuring strategic customer commitments are translated into coordinated, on-time action.\n\nUnlike traditional project management roles that oversee isolated tasks within a single department, the Strategic Program Manager manages cross-functional velocity and delivery execution. Reporting directly to the CTO, this position establishes high-touch oversight on critical path items including technical drawing releases, tooling readiness, material procurement, RF qualification testing, and production scheduling to safeguard portfolio health and drive high-growth customer relationships.\n\nPortfolio & Program Scope\n\nThe Strategic Program Manager will manage Delta’s highest value and most complex customer portfolios under the following assignment parameters:\n\nRevenue Scope: Dedicated ownership of accounts/programs exceeding $500,000 in annual bookings (or path to $500k within 12–24 months), or customer portfolios totaling >$1.0M in annual revenue.\nComplexity Drivers: Direct oversight of programs involving New Product Introductions (NPI), tight-tolerance RF performance requirements (low VSWR, insertion loss, phase matching), AS9102 First Article Inspections (FAI), and military/aerospace qualification testing.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nCustomer Leadership & Advocacy\n\nServe as the primary operational point of contact post-contract award for key strategic accounts.\nLead customer program reviews, progress updates, forecast alignment, and schedule reviews.\nAct as the internal voice of the customer across Delta to resolve friction, align priorities, and maintain clear schedule visibility.\n\nEnterprise Cross-Functional Execution\n\nLead internal program review cadences, tracking action items to completion across Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Production Control, Purchasing, Quality, Test Engineering, and Sales.\nConduct active, on-the-floor coordination within our Beverly manufacturing operations to resolve daily bottlenecks in drawing releases, tooling development, and production scheduling.\nEliminate administrative and operational barriers to execution without adding departmental overhead.\n\nNew Product Introduction (NPI) & Production Readiness\n\nDrive the transition of complex custom interconnect designs from quotation and engineering development into scalable shop-floor production.\nCoordinate critical pre-production readiness milestones: drawing releases, tool buildouts, inspection planning, RF test fixture setup, and raw material availability.\nCoordinate with Purchasing and Operations to ensure long-lead components and production capacity align prior to full manufacturing ramp.\n\nProgram Risk Management & Recovery\n\nIdentify early-stage risks across schedules, material lead times, supplier delays, engineering changes, and RF qualification challenges.\nFormulate and execute immediate recovery plans before schedule variances impact customer delivery commitments.\nRequirements:\n\nQualifications & Requirements\n\nEducation: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or Supply Chain Management. PMP certification is a strong plus.\nExperience:\n5+ years of progressive program or project management experience within a precision manufacturing environment (Aerospace, Defense, Space, or Semiconductor sectors strongly preferred).\nProven track record of managing high-value customer portfolios ($1M+) through matrix leadership.\nTechnical Acumen:\nUnderstanding of precision machining, electroplating, assembly, and testing processes.\nFamiliarity with RF/microwave interconnects, cable assemblies, military qualification standards (MIL-PRF-39012, MIL-PRF-55339), AS9100 quality environments, and AS9102 FAIs.\nWork Style & Communication:\nMust thrive in an on-site, active manufacturing environment with daily shop-floor interaction.\nStrong matrix management capabilities—able to drive cross-functional accountability across departments without direct supervisory power.\nExceptional written and verbal executive communication skills.","company":"Delta Electronics Mfg","rawCompany":"delta electronics mfg","city":"Beverly","state":"MA","isRemote":false,"isActive":false,"createdAt":"2026-08-19T17:37:43.532Z","occupations":[{"code":"13-1082.00","title":"Project Management Specialists","slug":"project-management-specialists"},{"code":"11-1021.00","title":"General and Operations Managers","slug":"general-and-operations-managers"},{"code":"11-3051.00","title":"Industrial Production Managers","slug":"industrial-production-managers"}],"industries":[{"code":"334419","title":"Other Electronic Component Manufacturing","slug":"other-electronic-component-manufacturing"},{"code":"334418","title":"Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing","slug":"printed-circuit-assembly-electronic-assembly-manufacturing"},{"code":"334220","title":"Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing","slug":"radio-and-television-broadcasting-and-wireless-communications-equipment-manufacturing"}],"jobPosting":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Strategic Program Manager","description":"Description:\n\nAbout Delta Electronics\n\nHeadquartered at our vertically integrated facility in Beverly, Massachusetts, Delta Electronics Mfg.
