Senior Engineering Vendor Manager at Nvidia · Trevo
NVIDIA's New Product Introduction (NPI) team is growing, and we're looking for a highly motivated and diligent Engineering Vendor Manager to join us. In this critical role, you'll be responsible for the engineering project management of our most strategic and technologically advanced components and suppliers, ensuring on-time delivery of the highest quality and reliability of components for our groundbreaking products.
What you'll do
Manage the product as a project – Define the timeline for having our designs out, manage quality meetings, set full road map for quality, capacity and automation as readiness towards HVM
Lead engineering engagement with strategic and critical suppliers for new product introductions (NPI) and ongoing production, identify potential risks, critical parameters, and areas for optimization
Define and implement clear monitoring and documentation requirements for key process steps to ensure consistency and quality
Establish comprehensive quality criteria and outgoing quality control (OQC) procedures at suppliers prior to shipment
Monitor and analyze supplier yield data, production metrics, and quality performance to identify trends and drive corrective actions
Lead and align internal NVIDIA engineering teams (Design, Product, Reliability, Quality) — teams that do not report to you — to ensure supplier capabilities align with product requirements and committed timelines
Conduct supplier technical audits and provide mentorship on standard processes in manufacturing and quality control
Own issues end to end — drive the investigation to root cause and come to the table with a recommended solution, an implementation plan, and an owner, not only with a flagged problem
What We Need To See
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field
8+ years of proven experience in engineering roles, with a significant portion focused on process management, manufacturing engineering, or NPI
Proven track record to understand complex manufacturing processes and identify critical control points
Strong background in process quality methodologies. Experience with yield analysis, data interpretation, driving root cause analysis for technical issues and driving corrective actions through to verified closure
Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills to effectively collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers
Demonstrated ability to run a technical program to committed timelines and to influence and mobilize cross-functional teams over whom you have no direct authority
Sound engineering and quality judgment weighed against the operational needs of the business - able to make and defend pragmatic trade-offs between technical risk, schedule, capacity, and cost
Resilience and effectiveness under high workload and ambiguity in a dynamic environment
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
Experience with advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., advanced packaging, high-speed PCBs, Electro-Mechanical, mechanical, electrical, high Speed IO, etc.)
Familiarity with NPI processes in a fast-paced technology company
Proven track record of driving significant quality or yield improvements at suppliers
Experience with DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and DFT (Design for Testability) principles
