The posting

Your Impact

Join a small team building the next generation of cybersecurity products from the ground up. Led by industry veterans with a proven track record of success - you will get to architect, build, and deliver hugely impactful products with this world class team. You will have the opportunity to grow your career and skills along with the company from the very start.

The Role

As our Manufacturing & NPI Engineer, you will own the technical quality, build execution, and product data infrastructure for our server appliance platform. You will serve as the primary administrator and subject matter expert for Arena PLM, maintaining our Bills of Materials (BOMs), Approved Vendor Lists (AVLs), and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) while ensuring our OEM partners (Dell OEM, Supermicro) build our hardware to exact quality and assembly standards.

Working directly under the VP of Supply Chain & Operations, you will bridge the gap between internal hardware design and factory-floor manufacturing execution.

Key Responsibilities

Arena PLM & Product Data Management

  • Serve as the administrator and lead user for Arena PLM, structuring parts, assemblies, drawing packages, and multi-level server BOMs.
  • Author, review, and process Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), and Deviations in Arena PLM.
  • Maintain the Approved Vendor List (AVL) and Approved Component List (ACL) in Arena PLM, ensuring complete alignment with vendor build files.

Factory Build Execution & Quality Validation

  • Audit assembly lines, chassis configurations, custom cabling/dressing standards, and thermal management setups (500W CPU / 300W GPU cooling) at OEM integration facilities.
  • Review and validate factory burn-in test scripts, memory stress tests, BIOS default configurations, and OpenBMC/Redfish image flashing procedures.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

  • Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Test (DFT) reviews during prototype and pilot build phases.
  • Ensure OEM partners execute seamless hand-offs from prototype validation to mass production.

Failure Analysis & Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA)

  • Lead technical triage and failure analysis for hardware anomalies identified during prototype builds, factory testing, or customer field deployments.
  • Enforce corrective action reports (8D / CAR) with OEM platform partners.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Experience: 5–8+ years of experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, NPI Engineer, or Product Data Engineer in server hardware, enterprise compute, or high-density electronics.
  • Arena PLM Proficiency: Hands-on experience structuring, managing, and maintaining complex hardware product data, multi-level BOMs, and ECO workflows in Arena PLM (or equivalent cloud-native PLM software).
  • Server Infrastructure Expertise: Deep knowledge of x86 server architecture, PCIe Gen5 topologies, thermal/power constraints, high-density NVMe arrays, and enterprise GPUs.
  • Quality & Test Standards: Familiarity with factory burn-in testing, out-of-box quality auditing, and ISO/ESD manufacturing standards.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. The expected salary range for this position is $140,000 – $180,000 per year. Within this range, individual pay is determined based on job-related factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and internal equity. Most candidates can expect an offer within the range listed above. Your recruiter will provide additional details on compensation and benefits to qualified candidates during the hiring process.

We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
