Project Leader (m/f/d) – ssMOS Development

Kurz zusammengefasst

The Project Leader, ssMOS Development will join Nexperia, a global semiconductor company that designs, manufactures and distributes discrete, logic and MOSFET components. In this role you will be accountable for the end‑to‑end delivery of multi‑site R &D and industrialisation projects, ranging from cost‑reduction studies and technology transfers to complex new‑product introductions. You will work closely with many functions across Nexperia and regularly present progress and decisions to senior management. Your day‑to‑day work will involve defining the overall project plan together with relevant stakeholders, then driving implementation while staying within agreed specifications, quality, timing and cost limits. You will set up and lead high‑performing, cross‑functional teams, handling resource allocation, conflict resolution and operational guidance. Risk and issue management is a core part of the job: you will analyse potential setbacks, develop mitigation scenarios and manage change requests through a formal change‑management process. Budget responsibility includes defining the project budget, ongoing cost control and transparent financial tracking, including CAPEX and product‑cost control. Regular reporting, concise status updates and stakeholder communication are required to keep senior leaders informed and engaged. Continuous improvement is encouraged, with opportunities to contribute to quality‑enhancement activities and share learning across the broader project‑leader community. To be considered, you must hold a university degree in an engineering discipline, preferably microelectronics or semiconductor physics, and have at least three years of proven experience delivering successful projects. Demonstrated leadership in intercultural, matrixed environments and a solid grasp of risk, change, resource planning and budget management are essential.

Fluency in written and spoken English and strong German communication skills are required, as is a collaborative, team‑player attitude. Additional assets include a PMI or equivalent project‑management certification, and familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing processes and package technologies. Nexperia offers flexible working hours, the possibility to reduce overtime, an unlimited‑contract with a competitive salary, and a broad suite of voluntary benefits such as retirement provisions, public‑transport travel allowance, company events, sports activities and employee discounts. The company promotes a diverse and inclusive culture, providing employee resource groups and a commitment to increase women in management to 30 % by 2030.
