The hiring decision

What makes this hire work on your plant floor?

Your NPI Manager opening is about launch decisions across engineering, production and customer requirements, not a familiar title on a resume. Start with a gate decision that delayed a release for a specific production risk. The distinction matters because launch accountability rather than only execution of engineering tasks decides whether the person can carry the responsibility you actually need covered.

A better title without a usable change in responsibility for launch decisions across engineering, production and customer requirements is a weak reason to move, particularly when the present employer makes a counteroffer.
