- Establish supplier and manufacturing quality programs across partners, including audits, process controls, and NPI build readiness

- Lead Component Engineering for board-level products and above, including qualification, second-source programs, and lifecycle management

- Define quality KPIs and dashboards (yield, DPPM, RMA rate, MTBF, CAPA closure) and report independently to executive leadership

- Serve as the quality voice in product release and shipment readiness, customer audits, and escalations; build, hire, and develop the quality organization for volume shipments and Rack Scale solutions

What you will bring:

- 15+ years in hardware quality and reliability engineering, including 5+ years leading multi-disciplinary teams

- BS/MS in EE/ME or a related engineering field

- Deep exposure to server-class systems, AI accelerators, or data center hardware

- Proven track record of building or scaling a QMS through high-volume ramps

- Hands-on experience across supplier, manufacturing, and customer quality, including ODMs and CMs

- Component engineering experience: qualification, AVL management, second sourcing, and lifecycle management

- Command of reliability fundamentals (MTBF, acceleration models, RDT/ORT, system-, rack-, and cluster-level availability) and quality tools (8D, 5-Why, FMEA, SPC, DOE)

- ISO 9001 lead auditor experience or equivalent; ASQ CQE/CRE and PLM (Arena or Agile) familiarity preferred

- Strong executive presence with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
