[Hiring] Senior Program Manager @Agilent Technologies

Role Description

Agilent is looking for a Senior Program Manager to lead the deployment of engineering tools, automation, and AI capabilities across our R&D organization. This role owns the full cycle from understanding what engineers actually need, to rolling out the tools and systems that meet that need, to making adoption stick.

• Run internal voice-of-customer efforts with engineering teams across divisions.
• Translate findings into deployment programs.
• Drive systematization and execution that turns a new tool or capability into something engineers actually use day to day.
• Run the program management behind Agilent's cross-divisional automation initiatives.
• Coordinate with the China Innovation Center on accelerated engineering projects.
• Build and manage program plans, governance, and reporting.

This is a program leadership role built for someone who can move fluidly between listening to engineers, structuring a rollout plan, and running the execution discipline to deliver it.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of program or project management experience in a hardware/instrument R&D environment.
• Systems engineering background or hands-on experience working within a systems engineering process strongly preferred.
• Experience running voice-of-customer or internal stakeholder research efforts and translating findings into action.
• Experience with engineering tool rollouts, digital transformation, or AI/automation adoption initiatives strongly preferred.
• Experience running cross-divisional or multi-site programs, ideally including work with an offshore or globally distributed engineering team.

Requirements

• Strong program and portfolio management fundamentals: scope, schedule, risk, and stakeholder management.
• Comfort operating in a technical environment, able to hold credible conversations with engineering leads about systems-level and architecture workflows.
• Skilled at running voice-of-customer processes and turning qualitative input into a structured plan.
• Ability to build structure and process without slowing teams down, tuned to an engineering audience.
• Strong cross-functional influence and communication, able to align divisional and hub stakeholders without direct authority.

Benefits

• This job has a full-time weekly schedule.
• Includes the option to work remotely.
• Applications for this job will be accepted until at least September 22, 2026 or until the job is no longer posted.
• The full-time equivalent pay range for this position is $179,931.00 - $315,300.00/yr plus eligibility for bonus, stock, and benefits.
