About the Role
The world's next technological breakthroughs—from trillion-parameter AI models to autonomous systems—are defined not only by chip design, but by the ability to manufacture and deliver advanced computing infrastructure at unprecedented scale. NVIDIA is looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Production Application Engineer to join Nvidia. In this pivotal role, you will serve as the primary interface with ODM/JDM partners, owning all GPU/CPU server–related aspects of L6, L10 and L11 production—from build readiness evaluations and pilot runs through mass-production shipments, ensuring KPIs are met and driving continuous yield and process improvements at every milestone.
What You'll Be Doing
•Production Milestone Ownership — Drive build readiness reviews and own the manufacturing checklist sign-off at each milestone gate with ODM/JDM partners.
•Yield Analysis & Improvement — Monitor L6/L10/L11 first-pass yield (FPY), identify top loss contributors, and drive corrective actions to closure.
•Debug & Failure Analysis — Lead debug triage and coordinate cross-functional FA efforts across cross-function teams for manufacturing defects, bonepile recovery, and field returns.
•Factory Process Readiness — Validate ODM production line automation, AOI inspection methodology, and component handling SOPs.
•Cross-Functional Technical Interface — Serve as the primary point of contact between NVIDIA internal teams and ODM/JDM partners on all L6, L10, and L11 production topics.
What We Need to See
•Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, product engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
•5+ years of experience in hardware system engineering, production engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related role.
•Strong understanding of rack-scale server manufacturing processes, including module assembly (L6), system integration (L10), rack integration (L11), test, and quality control.
•Excellent problem-solving skills and a methodical approach to root cause analysis and failure analysis triage.
•Proven ability to work directly with ODM/JDM factory teams, driving issue resolution on the production floor.
•Strong communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills — able to represent NVIDIA in cross-functional and cross-company technical discussions.
•Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities across concurrent programs in a dynamic, high-pressure environment.
•Strong English verbal and written proficiency.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd
•Hands-on experience in datacenter/GPU server production engineering, including AOI inspection, connector assembly validation, or thermal solution integration.
•Experience with manufacturing readiness reviews, production checklists, and signoff processes at scale.
•Familiarity with rack-scale liquid cooling systems, high-speed interconnect (NVLink/NVSwitch), and HBM/SOCAMM memory technologies.
•Willingness and ability to travel to ODM/JDM factory sites (domestic and international).
•Excellent teamwork skills to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams hardware, firmware, diagnostics, and quality engineering.
