About The Position

NVIDIA continues to reinvent itself, having pioneered the GPU in 1999, which fueled PC gaming, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI. As part of the Operations NPI Product Development Engineering team, this role involves taking products from engineering concepts to high-volume leading datacenter platforms deployed on a cloud scale. The team is responsible for owning, developing, and delivering the Manufacturing, Test, and Failure Analysis/recovery process for new datacenter servers and assemblies that incorporate the latest NVIDIA GPU, CPU, and high-speed interconnect technologies. The work will contribute to the development of the product during the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase and ensure a successful hand-off and enablement for high-volume production.
