## Description

NVIDIA's Interconnect Product Hardware Engineering team designs advanced test solutions for high-speed electro-optical devices powering next-generation AI data centers.

We are looking for a Hardware Technical Lead to own end-to-end technical program execution of complex Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and Silicon Photonics (SiPho) interconnect hardware , from concept through mass production.

**Responsibilities**

- Drive the full program lifecycle of advanced CPO and interconnect test solutions , from requirements through architecture, design, bring-up, characterization, qualification, and release to HVM , while continuously evaluating new technologies and methodologies.

- Act as the technical focal point across parallel workstreams including Board Design, Silicon Photonics, Opto-Mechanics, Thermal, FW/SW, DFT, Process Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality , building integration plans and communicating status, priorities, risks, and dependencies to leadership.

- Mentor engineers, conduct design reviews, and deliver constructive feedback to elevate team capabilities and foster a culture of engineering excellence; influence, lead, and align multi-site, multi-disciplinary teams toward common goals.

- Consolidate requirements from internal stakeholders into a comprehensive plan of record; coordinate resource allocation and team assignments in partnership with engineering management.

- Define and execute the validation and coverage strategy from die to system level , develop characterization plans, test methodologies, automation frameworks, and data analysis pipelines to validate product performance across environmental conditions.

- Perform hands-on electrical and optical debug, failure analysis, and failure segmentation using advanced lab equipment; drive root-cause analysis of complex issues.

- Develop scripting and automation solutions (Python) for test automation, data collection, hardware control, and production process optimization; own electrical specifications, peripheral equipment selection, and DFM/DFT guidelines.

- Partner with manufacturing and production engineering teams to build robust test solutions for mass production, improve yield and test coverage, and lead innovations that reduce test time and cost.

**Requirements**

- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Electro-Optics, Applied Physics, or a related field (or equivalent experience)

- 12+ years in hardware system engineering, characterization, and/or product engineering for electro-optical or high-speed communication products

- 5+ years serving as a technical lead across multi-disciplinary projects end-to-end

- Demonstrated success in technical program management , guiding complex hardware programs from concept through mass production

- Deep hands-on background in hardware design, lab bring-up, characterization, debug, and electrical specification review

- Proficiency in Python scripting, data analysis, test automation, and hardware control interfaces

- Strong communication and interpersonal skills , able to influence and align senior stakeholders and global teams

- Self-driven ownership mindset; an end-to-end problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-project environment

**Nice to Have**

- Hands-on experience with Co-Packaged Optics system integration and production

- Background in silicon photonics device characterization

- Familiarity with opto-mechanical design, DFM/DFT/DOE techniques, and qualification test processes

- Track record in cross-functional management , mentoring, team building, and performance management

- Collaboration with overseas manufacturing and mass-production partners
