Ensures manufacturing readiness, monitors yield and risks, coordinates cross-functional issue resolution, supports NPI-to-mass-production transitions, and communicates product health to engineering, operations, supply chain, and executives.
Summary Generated by Built In

NVIDIA Networking Product Engineering (NPE) is seeking a highly experienced technical leader to serve as the primary US-based interface between Product Engineering and Operations. This role will strengthen visibility, alignment, and responsiveness as networking products progress from development into high-volume manufacturing. The successful candidate will establish trusted relationships across Engineering, Operations, Planning, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Executive Leadership while ensuring critical information moves quickly and accurately in both directions. The individual will act as the first line of engagement during product issues, proactively communicate product health and readiness, and ensure operations collaborators have real-time awareness of engineering status, risks, and mitigation plans.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Provide ongoing awareness of product health, manufacturing readiness, yield performance, risk assessments, and execution status across networking products

  • Translate deep technical engineering information into actionable operational insights for Operations, Planning, and Supply Chain collaborators

  • -Serve as the primary liaison between NPE engineering teams in Israel and Operations teams in the US, creating strong operating mechanisms that keep both sides aligned

  • Ensure operational concerns are surfaced early and addressed before they raise

  • Function as the first responder for product-related operational crises — coordinating rapid engagement of the right engineering experts and driving structured communication throughout

  • Support product transitions from development into manufacturing and mass production, providing awareness of yield trends, readiness landmarks, and process updates

  • Assess operational impacts resulting from technical decisions and changes -

  • Participate in operational reviews, readiness forums, partner concern calls, planning meetings, and war rooms
