Arista Networks is seeking an Electrical Manufacturing NPI (New Product Introduction) Engineer to support the development of next-generation datacenter networking products and drive design for manufacturing excellence. You will participate on cross-functional project teams involved in the specification, design, development, and test of hardware, providing critical manufacturing input to schematic, placement, and route reviews.
Key responsibilities include:
• Design for manufacturability across all DFx disciplines (DFM, DFT, DFQ, DFR, DFC) and evaluate technical readiness prior to product release
• Perform new product and sustaining engineering functions, including BOM risk assessment, component sourcing, and skew lot testing
• Manage manufacturer PCN execution, coordinate cross-functional qualification efforts, and interface with Engineering, Platform Engineering, Marketing, TAC, and contract manufacturing partners
• Provide hardware debug mentorship to contract manufacturing test engineers and ensure adequate product training
• Drive improvements in manufacturing operations processes to enhance efficiency, consistency, cost avoidance, and customer satisfaction
• Lead design verification process enhancements with the goal of releasing zero design defects to production
• Investigate and evaluate new manufacturing technologies to establish technical direction
• Approve programmable device and PCB first articles; manage new product releases and technical changes via BOM management, ECO, and deviation processes
• Perform prototype testing, troubleshooting, and root cause failure analysis; debug complex system-level problems
• Participate in and lead Defect Reduction Team (DRT) activities to identify and resolve product issues
• Execute value engineering and cost reduction activities; develop manufacturing process documentation and best practices
You will work with experienced management and industry-leading engineering talent at a company building world-class, datacenter-focused Ethernet switches for next-generation HPC and web data centers.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 3–8+ years of experience in New Product Introduction or Sustaining Engineering (college graduates with relevant internship experience considered)
• Expertise in networking products related to routing, switching, and data center applications
• Expertise in some or all Design for DFx disciplines: DFM, DFT, DFQ, DFR, DFC
• Experience with complex PCB fab structures (vippo, backdrill)
• Excellent knowledge of complex system-level debugging and root cause analysis
• Expert knowledge of ECO, BOM, and Deviation processes (Agile experience a plus)
• Knowledge of manufacturing, test, quality, and reliability best practices
• Ability to establish technical direction through investigation and evaluation of new manufacturing technologies
• Strong working knowledge of industry manufacturing standards (IPC, JEDEC)
• Working knowledge of lab equipment and tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc.)
• BSEE or MSEE degree or equivalent
• Australian work rights required (Australian Citizenship, Permanent Residency, or demonstrable legal entitlement to work in Australia)
