Design Workshop

About The Team

The Compute team works on the design of our AI supercomputers, doing everything from workload modeling to influencing accelerator design. We’re leaning into our partnerships to make system and data center co-design an integral part of this process, and are looking for engineers to design AI supercomputers solutions for data center applications.

About The Role

We’re looking for a product manufacturing engineer who will be responsible for driving technical initiatives related to manufacturing to ensure product success from concept to launch and through mass production with a specific focus on PCB and PCBA manufacturing and process. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a wide range of stakeholders, from design engineering and operations teams, TPMs, external industry vendors and partners to ensure that all products are developed and delivered on time and to the highest quality standards.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In This Role, You Will

• Drive manufacturing and quality initiatives to ensure product success from concept to launch.
• Lead the product design and the manufacturing process for next‑gen AI hardware system development, working with design engineering, operations teams, TPMs, and external industry vendors and partners to ensure timely delivery and high quality standards.
• Establish the NPI product manufacturing process, systems, and quality controls, defining clear milestones and deliverables, and drive internal process improvements across multiple terms and functions.
• Provide hands‑on product manufacturing analysis during design, development, testing, prototypes, and production phases.
• Research automation techniques and develop new tests and systems for efficiency.
• Own L6 to potentially L10 product manufacturing development of the hardware product—including PCB, PCBA, cabling, connectorization, and L10 assembly spanning internal and external development work through successful deployment into the infrastructure and support of production workloads at scale.
• Develop and manage overall product manufacturing requirements, scope, schedules, and deliverables with engineering teams, TPMs, suppliers, partners, and key stakeholders.
• Communicate effectively with cross‑functional teams to ensure successful execution of programs.
• Utilize problem‑solving skills to resolve issues, overcome obstacles, perform risk assessment, risk mitigation, and change management on projects.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Monitor project progress and ensure deadlines and standards are met.

You Might Thrive In This Role If You

• Have an impressive track record of leading complex projects from concept to production launch and can work with cross‑functional teams to ensure successful execution of programs.
• Are a creative, detail‑oriented, and self‑motivated individual looking for an exciting opportunity in the tech industry.
• Stay up to date on industry trends and manufacturing technologies for PCB and PCBA.
• Like being a close partner with cross‑functional teams to understand key design changes requiring validation and accurately integrate engineering validation needs into the overall system build.
• Have experience driving development timelines for new platform introduction and managing internal review processes.
• Have significant experience driving creativity, quality, and schedule at multinational JDM/CMs and suppliers.
• Are deeply familiar with PCB material selection, PCBA, BOM component selection, assembly, and rework processes with all relevant equipment.
• Know the nightmare that is testing ultra‑high speed signals.
• Are excited by capturing, analyzing, and presenting manufacturing test data.
• Are keen on corrective actions.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions.
