What this role is
Lead NVIDIA's test, manufacturability, and quality organization for GPUs and SoCs through production ramp and into the field, owning program velocity, root-cause closure on complex multi-functional failures, and the technical judgment that keeps silicon programs moving when others are stuck. This role suits a hands-on engineering leader with deep post-silicon and production test experience who can navigate competing constraints across design, manufacturing, and software while building and retaining senior technical teams.
