Senior Product Quality Engineer

Originally posted 30 October 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on 31 October 2026.

About the role

This role leads technical failure analysis for NVIDIA data center systems, compute trays, and compute modules, focusing on customer-reported field issues involving power delivery, power sequencing, and intermittent power events. You will own customer-return and field-failure power investigations from symptom confirmation through containment, root cause, corrective action, and quality learning closure.

What you'll do

• Lead system-level power failure analysis for customer returns and field failures across data center systems, compute trays, and compute modules.
• Confirm, reproduce, and isolate complex power failures such as no power, intermittent boot, unexpected shutdown, brown-out, rail droop, over-current protection, under-voltage protection, sequencing faults, hot-plug events, and margin-related failures.
• Analyze system power architecture from AC/DC input through PSU, PDU, hot-swap, eFuse, VR, regulator, current-sense, and board-level power rails to determine the true failure boundary.
• Use oscilloscopes, current probes, DMMs, BMC-reported voltage/current readings, system event logs, and Linux-based diagnostics to build fact-based debug conclusions.
• Correlate field return data, customer logs, firmware behavior, board schematics, PCB layout, BOM history, and telemetry trends to identify root cause and assess risk.
• Partner with hardware design, power design, firmware, customer quality, reliability, manufacturing, and supplier quality teams to resolve critical customer and field issues.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware debug, customer return analysis, field failure analysis, or power electronics support for complex electronic systems.
• Strong understanding of system power delivery, DC-DC converters, multiphase VRs, regulators, power sequencing, current sharing, sense circuits, protection circuits, and high-current low-voltage rails.
• Proven ability to debug power issues at system, board, and component level by reading schematics, PCB layouts, power trees, design specifications, and test logs.
• Experience with Linux systems, Linux shell scripts, BMC/IPMI/Redfish-style logs or telemetry, and basic automation for data collection and debug efficiency.
• Experience with structured troubleshooting, design of experiments, root cause analysis, statistical process control, and quality data analysis.

Nice to have

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience debugging high-power server or data center platforms in customer-return or field-failure analysis workflows.
• Hands-on familiarity with PSU/PDU behavior, rack-level power distribution, power capping, power transients, or data center deployment conditions observed in field returns.
• Experience with board-level power design, hardware verification, power integrity measurement, or design-for-debug improvements.
• Knowledge of quality and reliability concepts, 8D problem solving, customer failure reporting, RMA/FA workflow, and supplier corrective action processes.
