Product Engineer, NPI

Pure Storage • Santa Clara, CA

76d • $175,000 - $263,000

About The Position

Join the Global Supply Chain Operations Engineering team to be the critical technical bridge between R&D and manufacturing for our next-generation, high-density storage platforms. You will drive early product development, ensuring new hardware designs are manufacturable, testable, and scalable from concept to mass production. This is a highly influential, hands-on role where you translate complex engineering requirements into high-quality, cost-effective, and reliable production outcomes. Collaborate closely with Hardware Engineering, R&D, and global suppliers to deliver industry-leading flash storage systems to our customers.

Requirements

• Experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, coupled with hands-on experience integrating complex hardware systems (storage, server, or networking).
• Proven, hands-on experience with NAND-based storage systems, high-density flash products (SSDs), and a working technical knowledge of PCIe and NVMe protocols.
• Demonstrated proficiency in PCB design principles, including schematic capture and layout review for high-layer-count boards, along with a deep understanding of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes and essential test methodologies (DFT/DFM).
• Practical experience utilizing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and ERP systems (such as Agile PLM or NetSuite) to manage Bill of Materials (BOMs), execute change control, and ensure end-to-end configuration traceability.
• A strong track record of applying analytical skills to drive significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency, product yield management, and overall quality, thriving in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the Operations technical lead, providing critical Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) feedback to R&D early in the product lifecycle to enable manufacturable and testable high-density storage designs.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks in PCB, component, and system-level performance (NAND, PCIe, NVMe) to ensure world-class reliability, quality, and cost targets are met.
• Streamline prototype bring-up, refine assembly/test processes, and standardize manufacturing documentation across global supplier sites to improve yield, efficiency, and reduce overall product costs.
• Own the system Bill of Materials (BOM) within the PLM system, managing configuration accuracy and disciplined change control for end-to-end traceability across the supply chain.

Benefits

• Flexible time off
• Wellness resources
• Company-sponsored team events
• Incentive pay and/or equity
