Meet the Team The Data Center Networking group is looking for a motivated and experienced individual to provide electrical product engineering support for new and sustaining products. This individual will be responsible for products’ cost and quality from NPI to EOL. For this position, the individual will be working on future AI network solution. Your Impact Electrical Product Engineer provides new product and ongoing engineering (including DFM) for a specific product or group of products from pre-concept commit through end of life. For new products, this individual will collaborate with design engineers (hardware, mechanical and software), process, test and reliability engineering to tackle problems and ensure cost avoidance and quality at FCS. For sustaining products, this individual will focus on cost reduction and design related yield improvements.
