Full Job Description

We build the hardware that runs the world's AI — and our Operations NPI team is how we bring it from silicon to data center at scale. At NVIDIA, we're proud to work on GPU platforms like Blackwell and Vera Rubin that push the boundaries of what's possible in compute. We move fast, we care deeply about quality, and we invest in people who want to grow across disciplines — board design, test engineering, yield analytics, and global manufacturing, often within a single program cycle. If you're energized by complex hardware challenges and want to see your work running inside the world's most powerful AI infrastructure, we'd love to talk. **What you 'll be doing:** * Module and board NPI for datacenter and HPC products is the core of this role — from first-article through mass production ramp, with accountability for yield targets, quality gates, and on-time delivery. We work closely across Engineering, Mechanical, Thermal, Program Management, and Operations to surface risks early and keep programs on track. * Our team defines and continuously improves manufacturing test plans — balancing coverage, test-time, cost, and yield across board and system levels — and we partner with CM sites worldwide to qualify and scale those solutions. We analyze volume manufacturing data using scripting and analytics tools to surface trends that matter and translate them into decisions quickly. * When boards fail, we go deep — root-cause analysis across silicon, PCB, and system layers, with findings turned into concrete DFM and DFT improvements for design teams. We hold ourselves and our suppliers to high engineering and quality standards, and we brief leadership regularly on status, yield trends, and improvement roadmaps. **What we need to see:** * 5+ years in product engineering, product development, manufacturing, or validation of PCBs, silicon, or complex systems experience. * Hands-on depth in two or more of the following: server architectures and datacenter system integration; PCB/bo
