Job description

NVIDIA's NPI Operations Team is looking for a highly motivated System Product Development Engineer to lead the development and productization of DGX and MGX products through mass production ramp. This role focuses on DGX systems and L11 rack-scale AI supercomputer reference platforms-some of the most advanced computing systems in the world for Artificial Intelligence. These products form the foundation for training and deploying industry-leading LLMs and represent NVIDIA's fastest-growing business segment and largest market opportunity.

What you'll be doing:

• Drive development and productization of NVIDIA's DGX and MGX datacenter products and L11 systems.
• Lead debug efforts for L11 rack-level integration, creating and applying tools/scripts for failure identification and root cause analysis.
• Provide clear, actionable guidance to factories to resolve issues quickly and implement corrective actions that improve manufacturing quality and efficiency.
• Develop and document robust, stable recipes-including diagnostics, firmware, and software-for mass production ramp.
• Review and provide feedback on test plans and factory acceptance criteria, focusing on yield, quality, and efficiency.
• Collaborate with development, validation, and manufacturing test engineering teams to understand diagnostic and firmware release plans and their impact on system stability and quality.
• Influence test engineering and diagnostic teams to enhance test methodology, telemetry, and debug capabilities for precise FRU identification and isolation of firmware/test issues and to improve test coverage with the goal of preventing downstream escapes.
• Partner with product development teams to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturing.
• Present NPI status updates and critical issues to executive management.

What we need to see:

• Expertise in server platform architecture, CPU/GPU baseboards, and high-speed interfaces with proven system-level debug skills and exceptional diagnostic instincts.
• Strong knowledge of BMC, firmware architecture, and manufacturing diagnostics.
• Familiarity with L11 integration processes.
• Excellent communication skills to articulate problems and deliver clear recommendations.
• Strong analytical skills to synthesize complex information and provide actionable guidance.
• Leadership skills to manage factory operations and drive issue resolution.
• Collaborative mindset to work seamlessly with cross-functional teams and external partners.
• Results-driven approach to achieving optimal outcomes across all aspects of NPI operations.
• 8+ years in system engineering, debug, or equivalent relevant experience
• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
