About the role

Senior system hardware reliability manager leading end-to-end reliability, failure analysis, and Build for Reliability/Build for Manufacturing initiatives for NVIDIA Networking hardware in data centers.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end reliability and failure analysis (FA) activities for the entire Networking organization.
  • Direct multiple system-level teams, coaching and developing engineering managers, conducting performance evaluations, and scaling capabilities.
  • Act as the reliability glue between Board Build, Mechanics, Thermal, PCB Layout and Production teams to ensure a broad approach to quality.
  • Drive high-priority War Room investigations for complex, intermittent field failures using advanced FA techniques to reach definitive root causes.
  • Use statistical tools and physics-of-failure models to predict product life cycles and identify wear-out mechanisms before field failures occur.
  • Influence product architecture by driving Build for Reliability (BfR) and Build for Manufacturing (BfM) requirements into initial hardware specifications or apply equivalent experience.
  • Formalize a Lessons Learned process where FA results inform design rules for next-generation networking hardware.

Qualifications

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering
  • 15+ years of overall management experience with teams of 10+
  • At least 8+ years of management experience
  • Ability to multitask many assignments and coordinate testing for numerous programs
  • Deep understanding of Physics of Failure and reliability physics related to semiconductors, PCBA, and interconnects (e.g., electromigration, stress-induced voiding, thermal fatigue)
  • Hands-on experience with sophisticated Failure Analysis (FA) techniques such as Cross-sectioning, SEM/EDX, CSAM, X-ray, and Dye & Pry
  • Proficiency in reliability statistics, including Weibull analysis, accelerated life testing, and MTBF modelling
  • Comprehensive knowledge of JEDEC, IPC, Telcordia for component and system-level qualification
  • Define new processes to improve coverage and overall product quality
