Job Details

We are looking for a subject matter expert on all aspects of PCB material selection and design. Your work will enable the development of innovative printed circuit boards and assembly solutions for NVIDIA’s next generation consumer and datacenter products. You will be working closely with a team of electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and product engineers, as well as outside component suppliers and manufacturing partners to define component, assembly & manufacturing processes that meet aggressive design targets. You will guide supplier process development and integrate components into the R&D and production workflows in support of new, ground breaking computing systems.

The ideal candidate brings experience working closely with suppliers on the materials and processes used in PCBs and related assemblies, preferably using novel materials. You enjoy working in a multi-disciplinary environment, and you excel at translating functional requirements into prototype design requirements and then guiding those products through development into high-volume manufacturing. You are able to identify requirements and constraints and lead effective test programs that navigate these inputs. You are a strong communicator who keeps team members informed and involved.

What you will be doing:

  • Materials selection, qualification, and manufacturing process development of PCB materials for high power electronics devices used in consumer and datacenter applications.

  • Collaborate closely with outside suppliers and manufacturing partners to develop and validate hardware solutions, ensuring that project work and timelines are clearly defined, communicated and updated

  • Systematically plan and lead the execution on experiments to identify and study property-structure relationships of PCB materials and manufacturing processing metrics, optimizing for performance, cost, and yield.

  • Collect, interpret, and present data from disparate sources to internal partners.

  • Collaborate closely with product managers to ensure new product specifications are met or exceeded.

  • Develop and document validation test plans, incorporating pass/fail criteria that align with hardware performance targets

  • Lead failure analysis studies and feed root cause data back into the development cycle for iterative design and process improvement

  • Identify and predict trends in PCB materials and manufacturing processes.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 6+ years of relevant experience.

  • Extensive polymer science background with a deep understanding of structure-property relationships of typical PCB thermoset and thermoplastic materials

  • In-depth knowledge of the entire PCB stack, from resins and prepreg materials to metallization techniques to SMT solder reflow process conditions

  • Extensive experience in the PCB manufacturing industry with strong industry ties.

  • Proven experience in systematically planning and executing experiments to optimize processes or products.

  • Experience with PCB metallization techniques such as electro- and electroless plating and physical vapor deposition techniques such as sputtering, thermal evaporation, and e-beam evaporation.

  • Extensive experience with material characterization techniques including FTIR, NMR, dielectric s-parameters, yield strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus, thermal conductivity, and coefficient of thermal expansion

  • Hands-on experience with identifying and solving defects & process control issues in PCB and components, both in-house and at partners/suppliers

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • PhD in a related field.

  • Experience with advanced and innovative PCB manufacturing techniques and materials is a plus!

  • Familiarity with industry standards and regulations related to PCB materials and manufacturing.

  • Background with PCB layout tools
