Description
We're looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Principal Production Application Engineer to join our team. As the primary interface with contract manufacturers and Original Design Manufacturers partners, you will manage all GPU server-related aspects of the L6, L10, and L11 production phases. Your responsibilities will include owning NPI builds from early engineering through ramp, ensuring smooth handoff to high-volume production at contract manufacturers.
You will lead debug test configuration and flows, driving efficient FA and fast issue triage for manufacturing defects, yield issues, and bonepile recovery. Additionally, you will act as the primary technical leader for ODMs and contract manufacturers on L6, L10, and L11, covering production readiness, line setup, test, and yield.
You will work closely with internal HW/FW/SW and validation teams to track and close critical bugs quickly, ensuring designs are manufacturable (DFM/DFT). As needed, you will be on-site at factories, coordinating with manufacturing teams to resolve issues in real time and help partners meet key production KPIs.
To succeed in this role, you will need a Bachelor's degree in EE, CS, Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field, along with 5+ years of experience in hardware system, production, manufacturing, or datacenter product engineering. You should have strong experience working with ODMs/contract manufacturers on NPI and mass production, as well as a solid understanding of assembly, test, and quality processes, and how they affect yield.
The ideal candidate will have excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis skills, with clear technical communication in English (spoken and written). They will also have hands-on experience in datacenter product engineering, failure analysis, debugging, or GPU server design, as well as a proven track record in managing production schedules at factories and monitoring yield rates.
