About the role
About the Team
OpenAI's Industrial Compute organization is building the world's most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. We work closely with hardware design teams, manufacturing partners, suppliers, and data center operations to deliver the compute platforms that power frontier AI.
The Manufacturing Engineering team ensures our hardware can be built, tested, deployed, and supported at hyperscale. We bridge Hardware Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Contract Manufacturers, and Hardware Operations to continuously improve manufacturing performance throughout the product lifecycle.
As our fleet grows globally, sustaining manufacturing engineering becomes increasingly important to maintain product quality, improve manufacturability, and rapidly resolve production issues.
About the Role
We are seeking a PCBA Manufacturing Engineer (Sustaining) to support production and continuous improvement of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) used throughout Industrial Compute hardware platforms.
This role focuses on sustaining engineering after product launch. You'll partner closely with Hardware Design, Quality, Manufacturing, Test Engineering, Supply Chain, and our contract manufacturers to resolve production issues, improve manufacturing yield, reduce failures, implement engineering changes, and ensure stable high-volume manufacturing.
The ideal candidate has experience supporting complex server, networking, accelerator, storage, or high-performance electronics manufacturing environments.
