About the role

Senior manager leading NVIDIA’s Test, Manufacturability, Reliability & Quality (TMRQ) organization within the Silicon Co-Design Group. Responsible for production test development, control run flow, HTOL, platform- and board-level manufacturing issue closure, and field diagnostic test development. Manages a team of ICs and managers across geographies to ensure scalable, high-quality silicon programs from first power-on to high-volume production.

Responsibilities

  • Keep programs moving. Own the technical execution and velocity of SLT, BLT, Board/Chip/Rack CR, and system reliability stress (HTOL) across every GPU, SoC, and CPU silicon program.
  • Close the hardest multi-functional failures. Resolve Vmin and binning escapes, performance shortfalls, and power anomalies by driving root-cause across design, methodology, DFT, ATE, package, software/firmware, and manufacturing — and own the WARs and productized fixes through to confirmation.
  • Give leadership the clarity to act. Convert raw integration signals — CR fallout, BLT/SLT yield, SHTOL/CHTOL data, RMA trends, customer escalations — into decision-ready options that enable executive leadership to act with confidence on POR, QS/PS gates, and ramp-impacting risks.
  • Raise the execution bar across every program. Establish operational objectives, and refine closed-loop methodologies that improve cycle time, first-pass yield, test-time reduction, escape rate, and DPPM.
  • Prevent field escapes from recurring. Take ownership of manufacturing issues at both platform and board levels. Conduct root-cause analysis on returns and field escapes. Use field signals to develop screening, process, and build changes that improve quality.
  • Build the team the organization depends on. Hire, develop, and retain your manager and lead engineers across multiple geographies — grow ICs into recognized subsystem experts and develop your first-line managers into independently operating leaders.

Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 12+ years in production test, system validation, post-silicon integration, or reliability engineering in a high-volume silicon environment, including 5+ years in management.
  • Strong EE fundamentals across DFT, BIST, digital design, computer architecture, fault models and fault analysis, power and timing analysis, sampling, and statistics.
  • Hands-on expertise across the production test stack (ATE, SLT, BLT), Control Run methodology, FinFET-class manufacturing processes, and PVT/binning dependencies.
