Manufacturing Operation Engineer (Datacenter Platform)

Job Title

Manufacturing Operation Engineer (Datacenter Platform)

Role Summary

Join the Data Center Platform Engineering team to lead manufacturing and test strategies for server platforms. The role partners with ODM/OEM customers and internal DIAG, hardware, tool, software and quality teams to drive NPI bring-up, validation, and production sustainment for CPU/GPU-based datacenter systems.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No specific years-of-experience guidance provided in the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on defining and executing manufacturing assembly and test approaches from early design through volume production, supporting partner bring-up and improving yield.

• Partner with platform engineering and manufacturing operations to define end-to-end assembly and test strategies for ODM/OEM customers.
• Define and execute manufacturing test strategies with DIAG, hardware, tool, software, CQE and PQE teams.
• Develop test plans, coverage evaluations, mechanical test requirements, SOPs and sustaining guides.
• Design and deploy manufacturing test platforms, fixtures, jigs, and automated test workflows for contract manufacturers.
• Lead NPI bring-up, remote debug, onsite builds and sustaining production activities to improve yield.
• Analyze high-volume test data to identify root causes, reduce failures and drive yield improvements.
• Manage ECR/ECO processes for test and manufacturing procedure changes and align across teams.
• Assess partner test capacity and throughput to support production forecasts and ramp schedules.
• Coordinate test infrastructure (servers, performance monitoring, logs) prior to deployment to partners/customers.

Requirements

Looking for candidates with hands-on manufacturing/test engineering experience on complex electronic/server systems and strong cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Must-have: Experience in manufacturing test engineering or production engineering for complex electronic products.
• Ownership of NPI and sustaining production, including test system design, deployment and support.
• Experience with CPU/GPU or other high-performance computing hardware and system-level bring-up.
• Experience designing test fixtures, hardware and automated test workflows.
• Ability to analyze high-volume yield/test data, isolate failure signatures and correlate across HW/SW/Diag.
• Proficiency with command-line operations, log analysis, file management and basic script automation.
• Skilled in writing test plans, SOPs, sustaining guides and managing ECR/ECO changes.
• Strong collaboration with DIAG, hardware, tools, software development, and quality engineering teams.

• Nice-to-have: Experience with server thermal/mechanical chassis testing, environmental stress testing (thermal cycling, burn-in), and familiarity with large-scale partner/ODM test environments.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or comparable disciplines.
