Supplier Base Engineer - Liquid Cooling Contamination Control

Responsibilities

• Define contamination control and fluid cleanliness standards for liquid cooling components, such as cold plates, coolant channels, manifolds, connectors, and PCB contact-pad interfaces.
• Develop and validate inspection methods capable of detecting debris greater than 50 microns using optical inspection, microscopy, image analysis, particle counting, and other advanced inspection technologies.
• Establish cleanliness criteria, sampling plans, acceptance thresholds, and filtration methods to support new product introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing.
• Work together with manufacturing, supplier quality, and engineering experts who build product solutions to identify contamination sources and develop effective prevention and containment controls.
• Define cleaning, flushing, filtration, drying, packaging, and handling requirements to ensure product cleanliness throughout the manufacturing and supply chain.
• Lead root cause investigations for contamination-related failures, including coolant blockage, debris-induced leakage, electrical contact contamination, and long-term reliability concerns.
• Lead supplier qualification, process audits, and ongoing improvement efforts to guarantee alignment with NVIDIA contamination control standards and manufacturing protocols.
• What we need to see
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of experience in contamination control, manufacturing engineering, fluid systems, precision assembly, or high-reliability product development.
