TL;DR · Senior Board Product Development Engineer

The Senior Board Product Development Engineer joins the Operations Engineering team to manage the transition of board and system products into high-volume manufacturing. This role involves early planning for manufacturing test solutions, defining scalable architectures, and developing test strategies for ARM and x86 platforms. The engineer will qualify fixtures and equipment, partner with cross-functional teams like Mechanical, Thermal, and Hardware Design to drive DFX initiatives, and support production ramps by debugging system-level issues. Key responsibilities include monitoring end-to-end manufacturing test verification, analyzing production data, and identifying risks to ensure release readiness. The role requires expertise in hardware design analysis, prototype bring-up, failure verification, and risk mitigation strategies. Candidates must possess strong analytical skills to resolve manufacturing challenges while mentoring engineering talent to improve processes and optimize new manufacturing technologies for board and server products.

What you'll do

  • Manage the release of board and system products to high-volume manufacturing environments.
  • Define scalable manufacturing test architectures, methodologies, and requirements for ARM and x86 platforms.
  • Develop and qualify test strategies, fixtures, and equipment for new product features.
  • Drive DFX initiatives and factory release requirements in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Debug board and system-level issues during factory builds and production ramps.
  • Analyze production data to identify risks and implement corrective actions for manufacturing readiness.
  • Optimize manufacturing processes through the integration of new test technologies.
  • Mentor and develop engineering talent within the operations team.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Extensive experience in hardware design analysis, prototype bring-up, failure verification, and manufacturing test support.
  • Extensive experience in high-volume board and system manufacturing process verification.
  • Strong understanding of board and system manufacturing test processes, quality systems, and risk mitigation strategies.
  • Proven ability to work with cross-functional teams and communicate complex technical information clearly.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills with a track record of mentoring and developing engineering talent.
  • Ability to travel to other countries for on-site factory product builds (6 to 8 weeks per year).
