NVIDIA's Local Product Engineering (LPE) group is seeking a Mechanical Product Engineer to oversee the mechanical aspects of production test fixtures, jigs, and enclosures. The successful candidate will lead upkeep and adjustment oversight across contract manufacturer (CM) sites, support NPI mechanical readiness, and bring a strong manufacturing perspective into hardware development reviews.

Key Responsibilities:

• Fixture & Jig Support , Maintain and improve production testing setups, jigs, mechanical enclosures, and assembly tooling, ensuring compatibility and standardization across multiple product lines and CM sites.
• Maintenance & Calibration Governance , Develop and enforce maintenance/calibration processes across all products and CM locations, author process documentation, and lead quarterly maintenance audits.
• Equipment Limit Management , Analyze test equipment limits and recommend limit extensions based on engineering data and risk assessment.
• NPI Mechanical Support , Guide new products through mechanical readiness achievements, from prototype to large-scale manufacturing, and support station duplication and mechanical training for CM technicians.
• Cross-Site CM Coordination , Provide technical support to global CMs, resolving mechanical gaps, fixture issues, and production blockers in real-time.
• Quality Audits & Compliance , Conduct quality audits at manufacturing sites focusing on mechanical processes, fixture condition, and maintenance compliance, and drive corrective actions.
• Participate in KO, PDR, CDR sessions, contributing insights from production and manufacturing perspectives to identify potential mechanical issues early in the design cycle.
• ECO Management , Review and process Engineering Change Orders related to fixtures, mechanical assemblies, and production tooling, ensuring documentation and version control via Agile/PDP.
