Job Description

Role Purpose
We are seeking a skilled VLSI Engineer to join our dynamic team at Wipro Technologies-USA, focused on advancing Quality Engineering within Compute Systems, Servers, Consumer Electronics, and Hardware Manufacturing sectors. This role plays a critical part in driving quality processes from prototype stages (TS1) through to mass production (MP), ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality VLSI systems. The selected candidate will be instrumental in defining specifications, system architecture, layout, and implementation strategies to exceed client quality expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and execution of quality assurance methodologies and strategies for VLSI board design and related hardware systems.
• Engage proactively with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) across all build phases, ensuring adherence to quality protocols and continuous process improvements.
• Perform comprehensive quality audits, track and manage Quality KPIs, and drive corrective and preventive actions to sustain high standards.
• Implement advanced problem-solving techniques such as Ishikawa diagrams, FMEA, SCAR, 5 Why analysis, 8D methodology, Pareto charts, and MIL standards to identify root causes and resolve complex hardware failures.
• Ensure compliance with key industry standards including ANSI S20.20 for ESD and ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including operations, engineering, and supply chain to establish and refine quality procedures–such as SOPs, PCNs, and work instructions–aligning with organizational goals and client requirements.
• Prepare and deliver clear, concise reports and presentations on quality status and improvement initiatives to stakeholders and management.
• Manage project tasks related to quality engineering activities, adhering to timelines and resource constraints.
• Utilize data analytics tools (JMP, R, Excel) to analyze quality trends, drive data-supported decision-making, and communicate findings effectively.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and foster a culture of quality and accountability across teams.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• 3 to 5+ years of proven experience in Quality Engineering within the hardware manufacturing domain, specifically in compute systems, servers, or consumer electronics.
• Strong familiarity with VLSI board design and manufacturing processes, including prototype to mass production transition.
• Demonstrated expertise in quality audit execution and quality performance tracking.
• Mastery of root cause analysis and problem-solving methodologies with a hands-on approach to troubleshooting complex system hardware faults.
• Knowledge and application of pertinent industry ESD standards and ISO certifications.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate technical information clearly and effectively to diverse audiences in English.
• ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) and Six Sigma certification are highly preferred.
• Basic project management skills to coordinate quality initiatives and deliverables.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and statistical/data analysis software to support quality documentation and reporting.
