Partner with XFNs on RMA failures failure category managements. Work with cross-functional teams to own compute and storage rack manufacturing and ensure on-time delivery, cost, quality, and yield targets are met. Advance system-level validation and rack-level test coverage, including stress, thermal and liquid-cooling verification, and signal integrity testing, to maximize server and storage reliability and scalability. Conduct First Article and Source Inspections on compute and storage assemblies, and maintain production process and quality documentation, BOMs, and engineering changes in PLM tools.
