[Hiring] Senior Program Manager, Architecture & Automation Deployment @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. You will run internal voice-of-customer efforts with engineering teams across divisions, translate what you learn into deployment programs, and drive the systematization and execution that turns a new tool or capability into something engineers actually use day to day.

This role also runs the program management behind Agilent's cross-divisional automation initiatives, including coordination with our China Innovation Center on accelerated engineering projects. You will build and manage the program plans, governance, and reporting that keep divisional teams, the innovation hub, and the CTO office aligned as these initiatives scale.

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. A systems engineering background is highly valued: understanding how engineering tools plug into the product development lifecycle and being able to speak credibly with engineering leads about technical workflows, will make you far more effective than program management experience alone.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of program or project management experience in a hardware/instrument R&D environment, including experience deploying tools, processes, or capabilities across engineering teams.
• 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.
• It includes the option to work remotely.
• The full-time equivalent pay range for this position is $183,612.00 - $321,750.00/yr plus eligibility for bonus, stock and benefits.
• Pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
