Application deadline: Jul 22, 2026

We are seeking an NPI Manufacturing Product Engineer to join our GPU Accelerator Hardware team. In this role, you will drive manufacturing and quality initiatives for GPU-based server platforms - from early design engagement through volume production. You will partner with a broad set of stakeholders including design engineering, operations, software development, TPMs, and external vendors to ensure products are developed and delivered on time to the highest quality standards. You will define and implement NPI manufacturing processes, test flows, quality systems, and controls while establishing clear milestones and deliverables. This role demands hands-on manufacturing analysis across design, development, testing, prototype, and production phases, along with a drive to research automation techniques and develop new test systems that improve efficiency.

You will serve as the primary manufacturing engineering interface between hardware design teams, supply chain, and contract manufacturers (ODMs/CMs), ensuring our products are optimized for manufacturability and launched with exceptional quality. Success in this role requires strong cross-functional communication, structured problem-solving to resolve complex issues, and disciplined risk assessment and change management throughout the product lifecycle.
