Systems Quality and Reliability Engineer - LPU

Job Title

Systems Quality and Reliability Engineer - LPU

Role Summary

Join the LPU team to manage RMA and failure analysis for NVIDIA AI/ML products. Lead root-cause investigations, improve field quality metrics, and coordinate FA operations across engineering and contract-manufacturer partners.

Experience Level

Mid-level — requires 5+ years of hands-on systems test, validation, or quality engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include leading FA and RMA debug, analyzing field data, and managing FA operations at partners.

• Lead debug and root-cause analysis of field RMAs; coordinate with systems, hardware, software, and operations engineers.
• Scale and manage failure analysis (FA) capabilities and processes across the organization.
• Create FA reports aligned with 8D or similar problem-resolution frameworks.
• Analyze RMA, FA, and repair data to identify trends; raise quality alerts and drive containment and mitigation plans.
• Monitor hardware quality metrics (RMA rates, MTBF, reliability ratio) and drive improvements.
• Manage FA performance at contract manufacturers, ensuring KPIs such as cycle time, fault duplication rates, and fault isolation rates.
• Oversee setup of new products into Failure Analysis operations.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items listed separately.

• 5+ years hands-on systems test, validation, or reliability engineering experience.
• Proven practical experience in systems quality and reliability engineering.
• Experienced using lab equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers.
• Experience with reliability tests (e.g., HTOL) and quality tests (e.g., burn-in).
• Strong fault isolation skills and techniques (OBIRCH, DLS/LADA, LVP, LVI).
• Proficiency with high-speed interfaces such as SerDes, PCIe, DDR.
• Proficiency in scripting/programming (Python, Perl, C++, or similar) on UNIX/Linux.
• Knowledge of PCB card and system-level test and debug, and ability to manage factory/CM partners for RMA/FA activities.

Nice-to-have:

• Working knowledge of FA techniques and tools (FIB, SEM, TDR, VNA, CSAM).

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
