Job Summary

Drive technical manufacturing readiness across new product introduction and mass production for transformer-specific AI systems. You’ll lead design-for-manufacturing reviews, own build readiness and factory execution metrics (yield, schedule, process capability), and coordinate prototype through production phases (EVT/DVT/PVT). Partner with hardware, test, SMT/FATP process, supply chain, operations, and contract manufacturers to execute line bring-up, resolve issues via root cause analysis, and report status to engineering leadership—working in-person in San Jose with domestic/international travel as needed.
