About the Job

Requirements

Experience in manufacturing quality, process quality, supplier quality, component quality, product quality, hardware quality, or reliability engineering.
Strong working knowledge of incoming quality control, outgoing quality control, factory test flow, yield metrics, Pareto analysis, retest rate, containment, and corrective action.
Working knowledge of component quality metrics such as defects per million opportunities, returns per million, annualized failure rate, returns and material authorizations, mean time between failures, supplier failure Pareto, and corrective action effectiveness.
Experience using structured root cause and corrective action methods such as 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, corrective and preventive action, or other disciplined problem-solving approaches.
Ability to analyze failure data, distinguish known issues from emerging risks, and drive fact-based closure with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and internal teams.
Ability to review supplier failure analysis and root cause and corrective action quality, challenge weak problem statements, and ensure corrective actions are technically credible and validated.
Ability to work with incomplete data and support sound quality decisions under ramp or shipment pressure.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to summarize technical issues, quality risk, and required actions for cross-functional teams.
Experience working with external manufacturers, suppliers, manufacturing engineering, test engineering, field teams, or repair teams.
Ability to work effectively across Taiwan manufacturing teams and global Oracle stakeholders in the United States, Mexico, and other manufacturing regions.
Ability to connect component-level issues to system-level factory quality decisions, including when a supplier issue should trigger containment, additional screening, retesting, or ship-risk review.

Responsibilities

Monitor factory quality performance across assigned products and sites, including incoming quality control, outgoing quality control, L10/L11 yield, first-pass yield, adjusted pass yield, retest rate, failure Pareto, and test stability.
Use factory and component quality signals to identify open quality risks, containment gaps, unresolved issues, supplier exposure, and potential customer escape risks before products ramp or ship.
Drive factory issue containment, failure data review, root cause and corrective action follow-up, and corrective action validation with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and Oracle engineering teams.
Track component quality performance across assigned commodities, including supplier defects per million opportunities, returns per million, annualized failure rate and returns/material authorization trends, failure Pareto, product change notification impact, material risk, and recurring factory or field failure modes.
Drive supplier and sub-tier root cause and corrective action for component failures found during factory integration, outgoing inspection, field returns, repair, or reliability testing.
Partner with component engineering, silicon engineering, supplier quality, sourcing, and repair teams to connect field failures to factory outgoing quality and supplier corrective actions.
Ensure process escapes, rework risks, test instability, and recurring failure modes are documented, assigned clear owners, and tracked to closure.
Review factory test coverage and confirm that known failure modes are detectable before shipment.
Validate that outgoing quality controls effectively catch workmanship, configuration, labeling, packaging, cosmetic, documentation, and functional escapes.
Review supplier qualification data, reliability information, product change notifications, material changes, alternate-source transitions, and factory incoming quality signals for risk to OCI hardware programs.
Partner with manufacturing and test teams to reduce yield gaps, debugging churn, retest-driven instability, and recurring line failures.
Support NCAT, SSP, program readiness reviews, and executive quality updates with clear data, concise risk summaries, and recommended next actions.
Work frequently with Taiwan factory, process, test, and quality teams to confirm process controls, inspection criteria, rework instructions, escalation paths, and quality gates are in place.
Build and maintain factory quality risk registers for key programs, including containment status, root cause and corrective action owner, closure date, and residual risk.
Support OK-to-Ramp and OK-to-Ship decisions by making remaining quality risks clear, current, and actionable.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with server, rack-level, GPU, networking, storage, power, thermal, or other data center infrastructure products, especially cutting-edge AI infrastructure platforms.
Experience with component commodities such as GPUs, CPUs, memory, storage, networking, optics, cables, connectors, power supplies, power distribution units, printed circuit boards, fans, thermal components, or rack integration hardware.
Experience supporting new product introduction, production ramp, OK-to-Ramp, OK-to-Ship, stop-ship, containment, or customer-impacting quality reviews.
Familiarity with gauge repeatability and reproducibility, EST, RQT, test coverage validation, failure mode and effects analysis, control plans, statistical process control, design of experiments, or reliability qualification.
Experience with high-volume manufacturing partners, original design manufacturers, contract manufacturers, electronics manufacturers, repair operations, supplier factory audits, supplier qualification, product change notification review, or component supplier management.
Experience working in Taiwan-based electronics manufacturing, system integration, rack integration, or server manufacturing environments.
Six Sigma, Certified Quality Engineer, Certified Reliability Engineer, Lean, or equivalent quality and reliability training.

The role is expected to protect manufacturing delivery, outgoing quality, and field reliability by using yield data, component failure trends, supplier quality signals, test coverage, factory inspection findings, RCCA discipline, and risk assessment to support OK-to-Ramp and OK-to-Ship decisions.

Key Responsibilities

Monitor factory quality performance across assigned products and sites, including IQC, OQC, L10/L11 yield, FPY, APY, retest rate, failure pareto, and test stability.

Use factory and component quality signals to identify open quality risks, containment gaps, unresolved issues, supplier exposure, and potential customer escape risks before products ramp or ship.

Drive factory issue containment, failure data review, RCCA follow-up, and corrective action validation with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and Oracle engineering teams.

Track component quality performance across assigned commodities, including supplier DPPM, RPM, AFR/RMA trends, failure pareto, PCN impact, material risk, and recurring factory or field failure modes.

Drive supplier and sub-tier RCCA for component failures found during factory integration, outgoing inspection, field returns, repair, or reliability testing.

Partner with component engineering, silicon engineering, supplier quality, sourcing, and repair teams to connect field failures back to factory outgoing quality and supplier corrective actions.

Ensure process escapes, rework risks, test instability, and recurring failure modes are documented, assigned to clear owners, and tracked to closure.

Review factory test coverage and confirm that known failure modes are detectable before shipment.

Validate that outgoing quality controls are effective in catching workmanship, configuration, labeling, packaging, cosmetic, documentation, and functional escapes.

Review supplier qualification data, reliability information, PCNs, material changes, alternate-source transitions, and factory incoming quality signals for risk to OCI hardware programs.

Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to reduce yield gaps, debug churn, retest-driven instability, and recurring line failures.
