Job Purpose:

Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.

With more than 30 years of combined expertise in wide bandgap technologies, GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection, delivering faster power delivery, higher system density, and greater efficiency. GeneSiC™ high-voltage SiC devices leverage patented trench-assisted planar technology to provide industry-leading voltage capability, efficiency, and reliability for medium-voltage grid and infrastructure applications.

Navitas Semiconductor is looking for a driven, detail-oriented new graduate to join our NPI Program Management team. This role is specifically focused on New Product Introduction — the structured process of taking a GaN or SiC power product from early development through qualification and commercial launch. As an entry-level NPI Program Manager, you will be mentored by experienced NPI leaders while taking on real ownership of program coordination, milestone tracking, and cross-functional execution from day one.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support and progressively own NPI program execution for GaN and SiC power product introductions — coordinating all activities from program kickoff through product qualification, release, and production handoff.
  • Own and maintain detailed NPI program schedules, milestone trackers, risk logs, and action item registers across assigned programs; proactively flag schedule risks and drive resolution.
  • Execute the Navitas NPI gate review process — preparing gate packages, coordinating review logistics, tracking gate entry/exit criteria, and ensuring timely closure of open actions.
  • Coordinate NPI deliverables across all contributing functions — R&D, process engineering, applications, quality, operations, and supply chain — ensuring each team meets their NPI commitments on schedule.
  • Track product qualification milestones including design reviews, characterization, reliability testing, and qualification sign-off; escalate delays or gaps to the NPI program lead.
  • Support supplier and foundry NPI coordination — monitoring sample delivery schedules, tracking qualification lot status, and documenting supplier action items.
  • Build and maintain NPI program status reports and dashboards; prepare regular updates for internal stakeholders and leadership using Microsoft 365 tools including Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Planner.
  • Apply AI productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot and Claude to accelerate NPI documentation, status reporting, and cross-functional communication.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of Navitas NPI processes, templates, checklists, and tracking tools.
  • Build working knowledge of GaN and SiC device technology, power product design, and semiconductor qualification standards to strengthen NPI program contributions over time.
QualificationsMinimum Qualifications
  • BS in Electrical Engineering required; recent graduate
  • Prior internship, co-op, or research experience in the semiconductor, power electronics, or hardware product development industry.
  • Exposure to NPI, stage-gate, or structured product development processes through coursework, internship, or senior capstone project.
  • Foundational knowledge of electrical engineering principles, semiconductor devices, or power electronics through coursework or academic projects.
  • Demonstrated ability to coordinate multiple tasks, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously — through capstone projects, research, student organizations, or internship experience.
  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through; ability to track numerous open action items across teams without losing visibility.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365 Suite including Excel (pivot tables, data organization, tracking), PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and Teams.
  • Familiarity with task and project management tools such as Microsoft Planner, Asana, Jira, or Smartsheet for tracking NPI milestones and action items.
  • Working knowledge of AI productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot or Claude for documentation, reporting, and research support.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to summarize complex program status clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with GaN, Silicon Carbide (SiC), or Wide Bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor technologies, device types, or process flows.
  • Awareness of semiconductor qualification standards such as JEDEC, AEC-Q100/Q101, or reliability test methods.
  • Experience with data analysis or visualization tools such as Excel advanced functions, Power BI, or equivalent for tracking and communicating program data.
  • Experience with scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project or Smartsheet for managing complex, multi-dependency task plans.
  • Coursework or research in power conversion, electrification (EV, data center, renewable energy), or AI hardware systems.
  • Experience leading or coordinating group projects in an academic or professional setting, with demonstrated ownership and accountability.

Applicants with Product Engineering experience are highly encouraged to apply.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
