Full Job Description
What you will be doing:
  • Own printed circuit board and assembly/manufacturing as a company-critical capability. Set the multi-year strategy, investment priorities, and technology roadmap. Develop cross-company product and technology decisions that depend on it. Ensure the circuit design never limits NVIDIA's growth speed.
  • Build and lead the industry's premier team of PCB and SMTA experts. Make NVIDIA the destination for top talent and the source of industry-leading innovations.
  • Identify and develop the technical and business argument supporting key investments in next-generation PCB and PCBA technology, capability, and capacity. Partner with Strategic Sourcing to align suppliers with NVIDIA's long-term roadmap, long-term supply from fabricators through raw-material suppliers.
  • Drive execution and follow-through across the global supply base, putting engineers on-site to enhance suppliers' capabilities, and close issues to true root cause.
  • Raise operational stability and dependability toward semiconductor-grade standards. This includes SPC, CpK/CTQ methods, real-time measurement systems, and detailed failure analysis.
  • Partner closely with PCB Design, Signal Integrity, and Reliability to drive parallel, de-risked technology and material paths, taking new technologies from concept to qualified, volume production so the roadmap always has a manufacturable, cost-effective solution ready.


What we need to see:
  • B.S. or higher in Materials Science, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline, or equivalent deep industry experience.
  • 20+ years across circuit board fabrication and assembly/SMT technologies, including significant experience leading large, global, cross-functional engineering or manufacturing technology organizations.
