Requirements

Demonstrated expertise in engineering management or technical team leadership within component, hardware, or system engineering organizations.
Deep technical mastery of NAND flash memory, SSD architectures, and comprehensive storage qualification methodologies.
Broad knowledge of server-class hardware subsystems, including CPUs, memory interfaces (DRAM), power delivery, connectors, and PCBA manufacturing requirements.
Proven hands-on capability with risk management frameworks, second-sourcing strategies, EOL/PCN management, and failure analysis methodologies (e.g., 8D, FMEA, RCCA).
Strong collaborative and executive communication skills, with a background presenting technical risk analyses and operational strategy to senior stakeholders and key supplier leadership.

Responsibilities

Build, direct, and mentor a specialized team of component engineers spanning flash/SSD technologies and server platform hardware, fostering technical growth and setting execution priorities.
Own the complete qualification lifecycle—defining rigorous test plans, analyzing supplier data, and issuing final approval for design-in and mass production across NAND flash, CPUs, DRAM, power systems, and interconnects.
Drive roadmap alignment and technology node transitions with key storage suppliers, governing media characterization, firmware qualification, and long-term architectural integration.
Establish multi-sourcing strategies, lead second-source qualifications, and manage End-of-Life (EOL) and Product Change Notifications (PCN) to eliminate single-point risks and prevent line disruptions.
Lead cross-functional Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations for complex field and manufacturing failures, utilizing failure analysis frameworks to continuously elevate product quality metrics.
Partner with Hardware Engineering during NPI to optimize component selection, and collaborate with Procurement on technical negotiations, vendor scorecards, and cost-reduction initiatives.
