Manufacturing Development Engineer

The MDE (Manufacturing Development Engineering) team focuses on NPI mechanical assembly readiness. As a team, we support all products NVIDIA develops. Your contribution will be towards manufacturing DFA (Design for assembly) development and finding MFD (Manufacturing for design) solutions.

Drive manufacturing feedback and implement industry standard to NVIDIA hardware engineering teams and CEM, focusing on detailed solutions to address DFA exceptions, prototyping, as well as fixture designs, starting from conception phase, through new product introduction (NPI) to mass production. Engage CEM early to study the design to develop manufacturing maturity at the same pace of product design.

What you'll be doing:

• Responsible for manufacturing (DFA) maturity development, perform detailed DFA analysis to reach system assembly process solutions.

• Responsible for NPI CEM readiness, including DFX (design for manufacturing, DFA, design for automation) as well as process qualifications. Work with CEM to establish manufacturing specifications.

• Develop mechanical assembly process, fixture, and automation with CEM.

• Lead assembly fixture & jig development, assembly process step-by-step evaluation and validation, review CEM assembly readiness at each landmark, accountable for ensuring all manufacturing schedules to achieve NVIDIA business target, ultimately, SOL (Speed of Light).

• Responsible for CEM technical performance in the area of system assembly that meets NVIDIA specifications and technology requirements. Evaluate tolerance capability to achieve assembly gap/step specifications.

• Handle NPI manufacturing assembly issues, such as cosmetic issues due to handling damages, supervise the health of the fleet and initiate investigation of issues, root cause product failures and drive corrective action.

• Recommend technology aids, product design changes, and workspace layout modification to existing processes to achieve optimum quality and efficiency.

• System assembly automation analysis, time and motion study, cycle time reduction, Assembly waste reduction, cost optimization proposals.

• Develop and coordinate schedules, performance requirements, lead all aspects of the project management process, and develop missing or unclear processes to ensure the best methodology and to keep projects on schedule and on budget.

What we need to see:

• Self-starter and self-motivated excellent teammate, strong can-do demeanor.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, mechanical, manufacturing, or related field, or equivalent; master's degree in engineering is preferred.

• Committed partnership collaborations working with both external and internal counterparts.

• 5 years of mechanical assembly experience in a manufacturing environment in one of the following fields: consumer electronics, GPU, automotive, or server-related industries.

• Practical experience of mechanical design and assembly & practical knowledge of system assembly, system testing, and tolerance capability & strong familiarity with CAD tools, like Creo.

• Solid interpersonal skills including attention to detail, multitasking, and negotiation and presentation; technical and quality sensitive; effective problem-solver through collaboration and analytical ability.

• Experience in functional tolerance and/or geometric dimensioning and tolerance to sophisticated assemblies.

• Solid understanding of basic electrical circuits & familiar with all aspects of the NPI process.

• Good understanding of commonly used testing & inspection methods and instruments.

NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant and talented people in the world working for us. If you're creative and autonomous, we want to hear from you!
