Job Type: Full-Time l Location: San Francisco l Department: AI Infrastructure Supply Chain l Reporting to: Technical Lead Director, Manufacturing and Quality | Work Location Type: #hybrid IREN is a leading AI Cloud Service Provider, delivering large-scale GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s vertically integrated platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and data centers in renewable-rich regions across the U.S. and Canada. The Senior Product Quality Engineer owns product and manufacturing quality strategy, test methodology, and failure analysis for IREN’s rack-scale AI and accelerated computing platforms. Reporting to the Technical Lead Director, Manufacturing and Quality, this is a senior individual-contributor role that sets quality standards from NPI through volume production and sustaining, and serves as the senior escalation point for rack- and system-level hardware issues. The role partners closely with Engineering, Technical Sourcing, Integrated Planning, AI Hardware Supply Chain Operations, Data Center Operations, and OEM/ODM/JDM manufacturing partners and key commodity suppliers to deliver hardware that meets IREN’s cycle-time, cost, quality, and yield targets at scale. With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way - responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in. Responsibilities Own the product and manufacturing quality strategy and processes for IREN’s next-generation AI hardware systems, ensuring on-time delivery against defined quality standards. Define test methods and quality standards, and drive continuous improvement projects with OEM/ODM/JDM manufacturing partners and key commodity suppliers to meet product and process quality targets. Lead cross-functional troubleshooting across rack- and system-level hardware, owning the Major Issue List and driving issues to closure. Execute rigorous Failure Analysis and Corrective Action (FACA) to resolve underlying technical problems and achieve quality and yield goals. Engage early with Engineering teams to implement robust DFx requirements (DfM, DfA, DfT, DfQ, DfS) and ensure products meet cycle-time, cost, quality, and yield targets. Drive the continuous evaluation and advancement of test coverage, methodologies, and infrastructure to maximize hardware reliability, performance, and scalability across the product lifecycle. Conduct First Article Inspection and Source Inspection reviews on hardware components and assemblies. Create and maintain BOMs, engineering change notifications, and manufacturing process changes through product lifecycle management tools. Establish quality KPIs (First Pass Yield, DPPM, DOA, early-life failure rate, defect Pareto) and governance cadences with manufacturing partners and suppliers, and report performance to leadership. Serve as the senior technical escalation point and mentor for quality, manufacturing, and test engineers as IREN’s AI hardware portfolio scales. Other important requirements Pre-employment screening, including background check and substance testing may be required according to company policies. Must be able to reliably commute to the assigned office location on scheduled in-office days under the hybrid work arrangement. This role involves frequent travel to manufacturing partner, supplier, integration, and data center sites. IREN does not yet have an office in the Bay Area (a Santa Clara office is planned); until it opens, this role will work remotely, transitioning to hybrid on-site work once the office is established.
