NPI TPM, Rack-Scale API Systems

About the role

MatX is building next-generation AI infrastructure systems for high-performance datacenter workloads. We are looking for a Senior NPI TPM, Rack-Scale AI Systems to manage integrated execution for rack and board platforms, spanning engineering builds through the final production ramp.

What You'll Do Here

• Direct the integrated NPI lifecycle for rack and board platforms, spanning engineering builds through the final volume production ramp.
• Act as the primary technical interface for manufacturing execution with external CM/JDM partners to ensure factory readiness.
• Manage master build schedules, configuration matrices, and unit allocation while leading formal build-readiness governance.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to finalize DFX requirements, serviceability standards, and factory-flow optimization.
• Partner with test teams to deploy diagnostics, power characterization, and data-capture infrastructure prior to build kick-off.
• Define metrics and dashboards to track first-pass yield, quality gates, and corrective actions throughout the development cycle.
• Engage with Supply Chain to mitigate risks associated with long-lead semiconductor components and material shortages.
• Lead ECO tracking and revision effectiveness, serving as the central point for build-level change communication.
• Prepare executive-level reporting that summarizes technical risks, material gaps, and high-volume ramp readiness.
• Ensure critical learnings from validation phases are captured in playbooks to drive predictable production-readiness plans.

Who you are

• 8+ years of technical program management, NPI program management, manufacturing operations, hardware operations, or engineering program management experience.
• Experience driving complex hardware builds through EVT, DVT, PVT, production readiness, and ramp.
• Experience working with CM, JDM, ODM, or rack-scale manufacturing partners on build planning, factory readiness, issue closure, and manufacturing execution.
• Experience with BOMs, AVLs, ECOs, configuration management, DFM/DFA/DFT, PCBA manufacturing, final assembly, factory test, and quality systems.
• Experience tracking manufacturing KPIs such as first-pass yield, defect pareto, rework rate, test pass rate, build cycle time, and quality escapes.
• Ability to drive schedules, risk management, issue tracking, milestone governance, and executive-level communication.
• Strong cross-functional leadership across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, test, and external partner teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize build risks, tradeoffs, decisions, and schedule impact.
• Proficiency with program-management and engineering collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, MS Project, Google Workspace, or equivalent.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with AI infrastructure, GPU/accelerator systems, datacenter racks, networking systems, storage systems, or high-power server platforms.
• Experience coordinating programs involving rack-scale integration, liquid-cooled systems, high-speed interconnects, factory diagnostics, or system-level validation.
• Prior hands-on experience in hardware, manufacturing, test, quality, supply chain, or NPI operations is a plus.

Compensation

The US base salary for this full-time position is determined based on a variety of factors including role, experience, location, job related skills, and relevant education and training. Career length is only a guideline for compensation.
