Mfg Software Project Manager

About the Role:
Join our global team to lead the end-to-end delivery of Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) solutions for our international clients, primarily in the semiconductor sector. As CIM Project Manager, you will sit at the center of the project lifecycle - translating presales commitments and client requirements into executable plans, and directing our engineering teams to deliver mission-critical software that drives digital transformation and Industry 4.0 outcomes on time, on budget, and to specification.

Key Responsibilities:
Own end-to-end project delivery for CIM implementations, from contract handover and kickoff through go-live and post-deployment support, across multiple concurrent client engagements.

Translate solution architectures, proposals, and client requirements handed over from the Presales team into detailed project plans, scope baselines, and delivery schedules.

Direct and coordinate cross-functional project teams, including software engineers, product leads, and QA, to execute the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) on schedule.

Manage project budgets, resource allocation, and timelines, proactively identifying risks and driving mitigation and change-control processes.

Act as the primary point of contact for client stakeholders during delivery, managing expectations, communicating status, and resolving escalations.

Coordinate on-site implementation, testing, and cutover activities at client facilities, including during extended overseas project assignments.

Maintain comprehensive project documentation, including project plans, status reports, risk registers, and deployment and handover packages.

Partner with Presales during pursuit and scoping stages to validate delivery feasibility, effort estimates, and staffing requirements before contract signature.

Capture lessons learned and delivery best practices to continuously improve project execution and client satisfaction.

Essential Requirements:
Bachelor's degree or higher in Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.

5+ years of project management experience delivering complex software or systems implementations, ideally within manufacturing execution or CIM/MES environments.

Proven ability to manage multi-workstream projects involving software engineering, integration, and client-facing delivery simultaneously.

Strong working knowledge of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and technologies commonly used in CIM solutions (e.g., C#, Java, Vue.js, SQL) sufficient to plan, scope, and communicate technical work credibly.

Extensive travel flexibility: must be available to travel for overseas project lasting several months.

A proactive, results-driven mindset with strong organizational skills and the ability to lead under pressure and manage competing priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:
PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent project management certification.

Domain knowledge or experience in the Solar, PCB or Semiconductor manufacturing industries (e.g., Fab, Assembly & Test, Printed Circuit Board, Solar Cell).

Familiarity with Industry 4.0 standards, digitization projects, or AI/ML applications in manufacturing.

Experience working within a global or cross-cultural team environment, coordinating between presales, engineering, and client organizations.
