Mechanical Product Engineer

Overview

• NVIDIA is the world leader in accelerated computing.
• Our innovations in GPU technology, AI, and data center solutions are transforming industries worldwide.
• Join our engineering group passionate about local product development in Israel to play a meaningful role in bringing powerful hardware products from building to mass production.
• The Local Product Engineering (LPE) group bridges the gap between hardware build, NPI phase and high-volume manufacturing.
• We work closely with contract manufacturers (CMs) globally to ensure mechanical readiness, production quality, and manufacturing excellence across NVIDIA’s networking product portfolio.
• We are looking for a Mechanical Product Engineer to own the mechanical aspects of production test fixtures, jigs, and enclosures.
• This role leads upkeep and adjustment oversight across CM sites.
• It supports NPI mechanical readiness and brings a strong manufacturing perspective into hardware development reviews.
• What you'll be doing: Fixture & Jig Support — Maintenance, and continuous improvement of production testing setups, jigs, mechanical enclosures, and assembly tooling.
• Ensure compatibility, standardization, and seamless integration of jigs across multiple product lines and CM sites.
• Maintenance & Calibration Governance — Own and enforce maintenance/calibration processes across all products and contract manufacturing locations.
• Author process documentation.
• Lead quarterly maintenance audits at CM facilities.
• Drive calibration frequency reduction initiatives.
• Equipment Limit Management — Perform data-driven analysis of test equipment limits (mating cycles, cable wear).
• Recommend and approve limit extensions based on engineering data and risk assessment.
• NPI Mechanical Support — Escort new products through mechanical readiness achievements — from prototype through V&V station approval to large-scale manufacturing.
• Support station duplication and mechanical training for CM technicians.
• Cross-Site CM Coordination — Provide hands-on technical support to global CMs (Flex Israel, Jabil India, Foxconn Vietnam).
• Resolve mechanical gaps, fixture issues, and production blockers in real-time.
• Quality Audits & Compliance — Conduct structured quality audits at manufacturing sites focused on mechanical processes, fixture condition, and maintenance compliance.
• Drive corrective actions.
• Participate in KO, PDR, CDR sessions passionate about hardware build, contributing insights from production and manufacturing perspectives.
• Identify potential mechanical issues early in the design cycle.
• ECO Management — Review and process Engineering Change Orders related to fixtures, mechanical assemblies, and production tooling.
• Ensure documentation and version control via Agile/PDP.
• What we need to see: B.Sc.
• in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent 3+ years of experience working as a mechanical engineer in a production/manufacturing environment Hands-on experience with fixture and jig design for electronics manufacturing or test Strong ability to read, interpret, and review mechanical drawings and assembly drawings.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (Creo Parametric / SolidWorks / similar) Knowledge of maintenance and calibration processes in high-volume manufacturing Experience working alongside contract manufacturers or EMS providers Strong analytical skills — data-driven limit analysis and evaluation of potential hazards Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal) Ways to stand out from the crowd: Experience in the semiconductor or data center hardware industry Familiarity with Agile PLM / PDP systems for ECO and BOM management Background in V&V (Validation & Verification) environments Experience conducting supplier/manufacturing audits Knowledge of thermal management and thermal pad/TIM applications.
