About The Position

CoreWeave is seeking an experienced Staff Product Quality Engineer to lead the quality strategy and execution for new compute hardware platforms throughout their lifecycle, from initial concept to high-volume production. This role is for an individual contributor who can effectively bridge compute architecture, manufacturing processes, and supplier quality. The ideal candidate will translate system-level requirements into specific, testable, and auditable quality criteria at each stage of product development. You will serve as the primary quality advocate during the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, collaborating closely with hardware engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and data center operations teams. Your goal will be to ensure that compute hardware is designed, sourced, manufactured, and tested to meet stringent quality and stability targets at scale, prior to customer deployment.

Requirements

8+ years in hardware/product quality engineering, with significant experience focused on server infrastructure hardware.
Demonstrated ownership of quality through at least two full NPI cycles from EVT through mass production.
Working technical fluency in compute architecture, including the ability to read block diagrams, understand power/thermal/signal integrity trade-offs, and engage credibly with hardware design engineers.
Hands-on experience defining manufacturing test strategies (ICT, functional test, system-level burn-in) and influencing test coverage decisions with CM/ODM partners.
Deep familiarity with core quality methodologies: FMEA, 8D/RCCA, and DOE.
Experience managing BOM-level quality, including component qualification, AVL/second-source strategy, and ECO impact assessment.
Strong data fluency, with the ability to pull and analyze quality data (DPPM, yield, field return rates) to inform and defend decisions.
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, capable of clearly presenting quality risks and readiness to engineering, supply chain, and executive stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

Experience with high-density racks, liquid cooling, and hyperscale data center hardware.
Familiarity with industry standards relevant to compute hardware quality.
Experience establishing or enhancing a product quality function within a rapidly scaling hardware organization.

Responsibilities

Own the quality workstream across all NPI phases (EVT/DVT/PVT/MP), establishing entry/exit criteria and go/no-go quality gates in collaboration with program management.
Drive Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) reviews with engineering to proactively identify and address potential failure modes before tooling and initial builds.
Lead FMEA (design and process) activities for new platforms, prioritizing risk mitigation strategies for high-severity, high-occurrence failure modes.
Collaborate with manufacturing engineering and ODM/CM partners to define test coverage, establish pass/fail criteria, and set escape-rate targets for all test stations.
Manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) creation process, including structure, FRU definition, attribution, AVL, and component qualification.
Represent the quality function in cross-functional program reviews, providing data-driven readiness assessments to leadership.
Utilize deep knowledge of compute architectures to identify quality and reliability risks inherent in the architecture.
Partner with hardware and systems engineering to review schematics, layouts, and system architecture documentation for quality and testability implications.
Translate architectural changes (e.g., new silicon, new topology, new form factor) into updated quality and test requirements.
