NVIDIA Networking Product Engineering is looking for a Development Quality Manager to join the NPE management team and lead quality methodology across a broad engineering organization.
In this role, you will define and drive the quality operating model across product development, design, validation, NPI, manufacturing transfer, and field-learning interfaces. You will work across teams that develop products as well as internal engineering deliverables such as test boards, testers, and validation infrastructure, ensuring that quality is designed in from concept through production and beyond.
This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who can combine engineering depth, structured quality methods, and strong cross-functional influence.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead quality activities throughout the product lifecycle, from concept through NPI and manufacturing transfer
- Define and improve development quality processes and frameworks across design, engineering, test, and V&V
- Participate in design reviews, providing quality input and milestone-readiness guidance
- Lead risk management activities, including FMEA and preventive quality methods
- Drive root-cause investigations and ensure effective CAPA implementation and closure
- Define, monitor, and report quality KPIs to NPE leadership
- Collaborate with R&D, reliability, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations partners
- Support audits and ensure compliance with internal and external requirements
- Serve as the primary NPE interface to Hardware and Operations Quality teams, driving organizational learning and governance across test assets
What we need to see
- B.Sc. / M.Sc or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer science.
- 15+ years of experience in relevant industries and roles
- Significant experience in hardware product development, product engineering, development quality, reliability, or related technical quality leadership
- Strong understanding of product development lifecycles, NPI, validation, manufacturing transfer, and field-quality feedback loops
- Experience leading structured problem solving, root-cause investigations, CAPA, and risk-management methods such as FMEA
- Ability to work across design, engineering, validation, operations, and manufacturing organizations
- Experience defining quality metrics, review mechanisms, and governance processes
- Strong communication, influence, and stakeholder-management skills
- Ability to drive alignment in a matrix organization
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Proven background in complex hardware systems and manufacturing-oriented engineering environments, including test boards, testers, and validation platforms
- Experience bridging engineering and operations quality, with the ability to scale methodology across multiple teams or organizations
- Track record of building learning systems from FA, RMA, validation, and production feedback
