In this role, you will lead quality initiatives for the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) platform Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure. You’ll ensure the flawless operation of hardware systems—including Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) servers, networking gear, and data storage—from initial concept through End‑of‑Life (EOL). You will collaborate with internal teams and manufacturing partners to build quality into every stage of product development, establish processes, and track and resolve field issues. You’ll bring a deep understanding of modern data center hardware, including design, manufacturing, and testing. As a proactive problem‑solver with a sense of ownership, you will contribute to and lead cross‑functional teams in a changing environment. This role may require traveling within the United States and internationally up to 25% of the time. Responsibilities Own the product quality process, managing suppliers and Joint Development Manufacture (JDM) partners from initial development through data center deployment to ensure consistent reliability. Develop predictive failure models and track key quality metrics using advanced statistical methods to extract actionable insights throughout the entire product life‑cycle. Lead product issue resolution during manufacturing and field operations, utilizing structured problem‑solving techniques such as the 8 Disciplines (8D) methodology. Drive alignment on quality initiatives by distilling technical data into concise presentations for cross‑functional teams and management to facilitate informed decision‑making. Execute the quality strategy and assurance plans for next‑generation Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)‑based AI hardware systems, managing comprehensive requirements, schedules, and deliverables with key stakeholders.
