TL;DR · Failure Analysis Engineering Manager, GPU ASIC and PCBA Debug

The Failure Analysis Engineering Manager, GPU ASIC and PCBA Debug joins the Quality Engineering team to lead and develop a high-performing team of failure analysis engineers. This manager provides technical leadership for the triage and debug of complex GPU and PCBA failures across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermal domains. Daily responsibilities include overseeing customer and factory failure investigations, defining debug plans, and driving automation for diagnostic tools. The role requires guiding board-level debug using schematics and layouts while mentoring engineers through complex root cause analysis. Key technical skills include experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and custom debug tools, alongside proficiency in Python and shell scripting. The position solves critical hardware reliability issues by identifying failure hypotheses and implementing corrective actions for GPU accelerators.

What you'll do

  • Provide technical leadership for triage and debug of complex GPU and PCBA failures across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermals.
  • Lead failure reproduction and triage by defining debug plans, directing investigations, and guiding experiments for complex issues.
  • Drive debug automation, diagnostic tools, and data analysis methods to improve triage efficiency and consistency.
  • Lead cross-functional triage with manufacturing partners and internal teams to align on failure hypotheses and root causes.
  • Guide board-level debug using schematics, layouts, and design documentation to direct analysis and mentor engineers.
  • Ensure clear documentation of failure analysis results, root cause findings, and corrective actions for internal and customer use.
  • Present technical findings, triage updates, risks, and recovery plans to stakeholders and senior leadership.
  • Manage and develop a team of FA engineers by setting priorities, providing technical guidance, and coaching through investigations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience managing, hiring, mentoring, and developing high-performing engineering teams.
  • Technical leadership in GPU ASIC and PCBA failure analysis and debug.
  • Experience leading triage across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermal failure domains (preferred).
  • Strong background in PCBA diagnostics and board-level debug from NPI through production (preferred).
  • Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and custom debug tools (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python, shell scripting, and working across Windows and Linux environments (preferred).
  • Knowledge of high-speed digital design, HBM or GDDR memory, PCIe, and GPU data center systems (preferred).
