Perform system- and board-level failure analysis to isolate hardware, firmware, software, thermal, power, and integration-related problems.
Facilitate the complete RMA process, including failure-data collection, return authorization, material tracking, engineering disposition, and communication of findings.
Reproduce field failures in laboratory environments, analyze failure trends, and drive preventive improvements in product quality and serviceability.
Collaborate with OEMs, ODMs, manufacturing partners, and NVIDIA engineering, quality, reliability, operations, and supply-chain teams to resolve critical issues.
Provide on-site technical support and deliver clear failure-analysis reports, corrective-action updates, troubleshooting procedures, and executive-level communications.
What we need to see
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline—or equivalent experience.
5+ years of relevant experience in Field Application Engineering, sustaining engineering, failure analysis, systems engineering, or product engineering.
Hands-on experience debugging complex server or computing platforms at both the system and board levels.
Demonstrated experience managing field failures or RMA cases through root-cause analysis and corrective-action closure using methods such as 8D, FRACAS, or fault-tree analysis.
Strong understanding of server architecture, including CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, power delivery, cooling, and high-speed interconnects.
Knowledge of PCIe and experience troubleshooting BMC/IPMI or Redfish, BIOS/UEFI, Linux, drivers, firmware, system logs, and hardware telemetry.
Experience with hardware bring-up, board validation, system qualification, and L1–L10 server integration and manufacturing test stages.
Ability to interpret schematics, block diagrams, diagnostic data, manufacturing test results, and thermal or electrical measurements.
Excellent project-management and communication skills. Able to prioritize tasks and work effectively with business and engineering teams. Must operate from the Round Rock area and travel as required.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Direct experience supporting NVIDIA HGX, DGX, or MGX platforms or comparable GPU-accelerated data center systems.
Experience owning sustaining engineering, failure-analysis, or RMA programs for an OEM, ODM, cloud service provider, or hyperscale customer.
Familiarity with physical failure-analysis techniques, reliability engineering, statistical analysis, and manufacturing or field-quality trend analysis.
Experience with ARM-based systems, NVIDIA GPUs, system firmware, and diagnostic automation using Python or shell scripting.
