Senior Board Product Development Engineer

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

NVIDIA is seeking a creative and experienced Senior Board Product Development Engineer to join its Operations Engineering team. The role supports the successful release of NVIDIA-designed board and system products to high-volume manufacturing, including AI PC products. The engineer represents Product Operations Engineering in early manufacturing test-solution planning and coordinates stakeholders around production-release requirements. The position develops scalable manufacturing test architectures, methodologies, processes, and system requirements; develops and qualifies test strategies, fixtures, and equipment for new product features; and validates hardware test solutions for production deployment. The engineer collaborates with Mechanical, Thermal, Test, Hardware Design, Software, and Quality Engineering teams on DFX initiatives and factory-release requirements. The role also supports factory builds and production ramps by debugging board- and system-level issues with internal teams and external manufacturing partners. It monitors manufacturing test verification from board to system level, analyzes production data, identifies risks, and drives corrective actions to ensure release readiness. Continuous improvement includes adopting new manufacturing test technologies, optimizing processes, supporting international factories, and mentoring and developing engineering talent.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering, or equivalent experience.
At least 5 years of relevant experience.
