Senior Product Development Engineer - Boards

We are the Board Product Development Engineering team within NVIDIA’s operations group. Our work lies at the intersection of multi-disciplinary engineering fields – including but not limited to electrical, electronics, mechanical, thermal, and software engineering.

About the role

Help bring highly complex board products from design phase into mass production. Work on NVIDIA gaming, workstation, and compute GPU cards during NPI and in production.

Responsibilities

• Work with cross-functional teams (including Hardware Design, Software, Manufacturing, Quality/Reliability, Application Engineering, and Marketing) to achieve fast-paced delivery schedules on groundbreaking products.
• Provide DFx recommendations to the design team during the design phase – highlighting electrical, mechanical, and thermal challenges.
• Root cause failing boards using lab equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc.) as well as software tools.
• Analyze yield and parametric data using available tools and programming/scripting.
• Perform product design and validation to support design engineering sustaining work.
• Define and improve manufacturing test plans to optimize coverage, test-time, test-cost, and yield.
• Direct local and overseas contract manufacturing factories to transition new products to mass-production.
• Regularly report product status and recommend improvements to management.

Requirements

• Experience in two or more of the following areas: server architectures, board/PCB-design, SMT, assembly, board or post-Si validation, product engineering, design or validation of high-speed interfaces (like PCI-E/DP/HDMI/USB), power-integrity, thermal characterization, complex test setups.
• Ability to debug complicated multi-disciplinary problems.
• Strong team spirit and communication skills.
• Strong grasp of testing strategies and their relation to yields and test-time.
• 5+ years of experience in design, manufacturing, validation, product development, or testing of PCBs, silicon, or other systems.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer science – or equivalent experience.

Skills

• Background in data analysis, software tools, and scripting.
• Experience enabling or driving cross-functional debug.
• Knowledge of PCB manufacturing process, silicon or PCB debug, system assembly/testing, and mechanical tolerances.
• Knowledge of how to build computers and tweak BIOS settings.

Pay

Base salary range is 136,000 USD - 212,750 USD for Level 3, and 168,000 USD - 258,750 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
