The world’s next technological breakthroughs—from trillion-parameter AI models to autonomous systems—are defined not only by chip design, but by the ability to manufacture and deliver advanced computing infrastructure at unprecedented scale. NVIDIA is looking for a highly motivated and detail-oriented Production Application Engineer to join Nvidia. In this pivotal role, you will serve as the primary interface with ODM/JDM partners, owning all GPU/CPU server–related aspects of L6, L10 and L11 production—from build readiness evaluations and pilot runs through mass-production shipments, ensuring KPIs are met and driving continuous yield and process improvements at every milestone.
What you’ll be doing
Production Milestone Ownership — Drive build readiness reviews and own the manufacturing checklist sign-off at each milestone gate with ODM/JDM partners.
Yield Analysis & Improvement — Monitor L6/L10/L11 first-pass yield (FPY), identify top loss contributors, and drive corrective actions to closure.
Debug & Failure Analysis — Lead debug triage and coordinate cross-functional FA efforts across cross-function teams for manufacturing defects, bonepile recovery, and field returns.
Internal Production Lead — Lead NVIDIA internal build activities, coordinating cross-functional resources to ensure on-time delivery and production quality targets are met.
Cross-Functional Technical Interface — Serve as the primary point of contact between NVIDIA internal teams and ODM/JDM partners on all L6, L10, and L11 production topics.
