• Drive cross-functional forums to track end-to-end fallout across NVIDIA manufacturing, with clear ownership, closure criteria, and measurable reduction targets.
• Define and build AI / data-analytics-driven workflows to identify yield limiters, fallout signatures, systematic escapes, and early indicators of customer-quality risk.

• BS degree in electrical engineering or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of work experience.
• Experience with product verification and failure analysis on Verigy 93K tester.
