Production Application Engineer, Enterprise

Overview

• NVIDIA is looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Principle Production Application Engineer to join our team.
• In this key role, you will serve as the primary interface with contract manufacturers(CM) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) partners, managing all GPU server-related aspects of the L6, L10, and L11 production phases.
• You will take ownership from initial production line evaluations through to final production shipments—ensuring production KPIs are met, driving problem-solving efforts, and leading continuous process improvements at every major milestone.
• What you'll be doing: Own NPI builds from early engineering through ramp, ensuring smooth handoff to high‑volume production at contract manufacturers.
• Lead debug test configuration and flows, driving efficient FA and fast issue triage for manufacturing defects, yield issues, and bonepile recovery.
• Act as the primary technical leader for ODMs and contract manufacturers on L6, L10 and L11, covering production readiness, line setup, test, and yield.
• Work closely with internal HW/FW/SW and validation teams to track and close critical bugs quickly, ensuring designs are manufacturable (DFM/DFT).
• Be on‑site at factories as needed, coordinating with manufacturing teams to resolve issues in real time and help partners meet key production KPIs.
• What we need to see: Bachelor’s degree in EE, CS, Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years in hardware system, production, manufacturing, or datacenter product engineering.
• Strong experience working with ODMs/contract manufacturers on NPI and mass production.
• Solid understanding of assembly, test, and quality processes, and how they affect yield.
• Excellent problem‑solving and root cause analysis skills, with clear technical communication in English (spoken and written).
• Ways to stand out from the crowd: Hands-on experience in datacenter product engineering, failure analysis, debugging, or GPU server design.
• Proven track record in managing production schedules at factories and monitoring yield rates.
• Willingness and ability to travel internationally.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) // Root Cause Analysis (RCA) // Design of Experiments (DOE).
