Responsibilities

• Release NVIDIA-designed board and system products to high-volume manufacturing.
• Represent Product Operations Engineering during early manufacturing test solution planning and align stakeholders on production release requirements.
• Define scalable manufacturing test architectures, methodologies, processes, and system requirements for board- and server-level products across ARM and x86 platforms.
• Develop and qualify test strategies, fixtures, and equipment for new product features, validating hardware test solutions for production deployment.
• Partner with Mechanical, Thermal, Test, Hardware Design, Software, and Quality Engineering teams to drive DFX initiatives and factory release requirements.
• Support factory builds and production ramps by debugging board- and system-level issues, collaborating with internal teams and external manufacturing partners.
• Monitor end-to-end manufacturing test verification from board to system level, analyze production data, identify risks, and drive corrective actions to ensure release readiness.
• Drive continuous improvement through new manufacturing test technologies, process optimization, international factory supports, and mentoring/developing engineering talents.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering – or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Extensive experience in hardware design analysis, prototype bring-up, failure verification, and manufacturing test support.
