WORK HISTORY
Manager, Technical Program Management @Instrumental Inc.
Palo Alto, CA, US
Lead the global TPM organization responsible for deploying and scaling an AI-driven digital thread platform across Tier-1 electronics OEMs and contract manufacturers in consumer electronics, AI compute infrastructure, industrial electronics, and networking.Strategic Impact• Architect and institutionalize a scalable international deployment framework across 9 countries, reducing customs clearance time by 40–50% through standardized HTS classification, documentation, and kitting systems.• Design global-ready deployment playbooks that formalize cross-functional handoffs (Solutions, Hardware, Engineering, Factory IT) to reduce execution risk as volume increases.• Influence hardware R&D, integration architecture, and go-to-market deployment strategy to support high-mix, multi-SKU manufacturing environments.• Partner with executive leadership to frame deployment risk, trade-offs, and investment decisions for multi-million-dollar enterprise programs.• Scale US and APAC TPM capacity through hiring, onboarding, and structured knowledge enablement.Operational Scope• Oversee deployments across 20–30 factories supporting Fortune 500 OEMs, Tier-1 contract manufacturers, and hyperscale compute infrastructure programs.• Guide review and validation of hardware configurations (cameras, optics, mechanical fixtures), edge compute architecture, and factory-specific integration specifications prior to engineering implementation.• Lead coordination of complex MES/SFC integrations using custom factory APIs, ensuring traceability alignment and production routing validation.• Maintain parallel execution across 3–5 concurrent global programs.

ABOUT SANTIAGO ISAZA
I lead global manufacturing systems deployments for an AI-driven digital thread platform serving complex electronics production networks.My work focuses on integrating vision inspection and functional test data into high-mix factory environments, enabling traceability, AI-powered failure analysis, and cross-site learning across SKUs and production lines.I’ve supported deployments across 20+ factories in 9 countries, partnering with Tier-1 OEMs and contract manufacturers in consumer electronics, AI compute infrastructure, industrial systems, and data networking. My role centers on aligning hardware, software, and factory operations so digital systems integrate cleanly into real production constraints.I’m focused on building scalable deployment frameworks that reduce operational risk and accelerate time-to-value as manufacturing complexity grows.
