Failure Analysis Engineering Manager, GPU ASIC and PCBA Debug
Secaucus, NJ$147.2k - $220.8kFull-timePosted 4mo ago
About the role
Lead and develop a team of failure analysis (FA) engineers focused on GPU ASIC and PCBA (board-level) failure analysis. Manage customer and factory investigations, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate cross-functional efforts to improve product quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction in a fast-paced GPU/AI hardware environment.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership for triage and debug of complex GPU and PCBA failures across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermals, guiding the FA team to root cause.
- Lead failure reproduction and triage by defining debug plans, directing investigations, and guiding experiments and escalation paths for complex issues.
- Drive debug automation, diagnostic tools, and data analysis methods that improve triage efficiency and consistency across failure domains.
- Lead cross-functional triage with manufacturing partners and AMD teams to align on failure hypotheses, reproduction, and root cause.
- Guide board-level debug using schematics, layouts, and design documentation to direct analysis and mentor engineers through the process.
- Ensure clear documentation of failure analysis results, root cause findings, and corrective actions for customer and internal use.
- Present technical findings, triage updates, risks, and recovery plans to stakeholders and senior leadership.
- Drive continuous improvement of FA methods, triage processes, and best practices across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermal debug.
- Manage and develop a team of FA engineers by setting priorities, providing technical guidance, and coaching through complex investigations.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience leading and developing engineering teams, with a strong track record of hiring, coaching, mentoring, and growing FA engineers.
- Deep expertise in GPU ASIC debug, validation, and functional or stress test development.
- Strong background in PCBA diagnostics, failure analysis, and board-level debug from NPI through production.
- Experience leading triage across power, ASIC, firmware, and thermal failure domains.
- Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and custom debug tools.
- Understanding of firmware, drivers, and hardware interactions in complex system debug.
- Extensive experience in hardware verification, system integration, and failure reproduction.
- Proficiency in Python, shell scripting, and working across Windows and Linux environments.
- Strong leadership, communication, and presentation skills, with ability to teach, mentor, and lead by example.
- Ability to read schematics, interpret datasheets, identify components, and support board-level debug and rework.
- Knowledge of high-speed digital design, HBM or GDDR memory, PCIe, and GPU data center systems is a plus.
