Mechanical On-site Engineer, Foxconn Vietnam

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Hanoi, Vietnam

Mechanical On-Site Engineer representing NVIDIA Israel's mechanical department at a Foxconn manufacturing site in Vietnam. This role involves being the technical reference for mechanical issues on the production floor, from early builds through mass production, working closely with Foxconn teams and bridging to NVIDIA's design and reliability teams. Responsibilities include investigating mechanical issues, leading failure analysis, planning and running experiments, and making real-time decisions on the line. Requires 4+ years of hands-on mechanical engineering experience in datacom, server, or networking hardware, with experience at a contract manufacturer and a track record in failure analysis.

What you'd actually do

  1. Acting as the on-site mechanical point of contact representing NVIDIA Israel's mechanical department at the Foxconn Bac Ninh site, owning the daily mechanical agenda across active programs.
  2. Investigating mechanical issues, escalations and yield blockers on the production floor, applying structured root-cause methods such as fishbone and fault-tree analysis, with documented corrective actions.
  3. Leading failure analysis on builds, line returns and qualification samples, including inspection, microscopy, dimensional metrology, cross-section, contamination and assembly-process analysis.
  4. Planning and running mechanical experiments and structured design-of-experiments on-site, aligning test plans with the Israel team, executing on the floor, and reporting results back.
  5. Escorting bring-ups, pilot runs and production builds, present on the line to make real-time mechanical decisions and capture build learnings.

Skills

Required

  • Engineering diploma in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience as a mechanical engineer in similar roles, such as datacom, server, networking, datacenter, or comparably complex electronic hardware products.
  • Hands-on experience at a contract manufacturer or original design manufacturer site in new product introduction, ramp or mass-production environments.
  • Track record leading failure analysis investigations from symptom to verified root cause, with documented corrective actions.
  • Strong command of mechanical inspection and metrology, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, coordinate measuring machines, vision systems, gauges and dimensional analysis.
  • Proficiency reading and reviewing mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, NX or Creo) and engineering drawings.
  • Willingness and ability to be based on-site in Bac Ninh long-term, with extended stays and frequent presence on the manufacturing floor.
  • Independent, structured problem-solver, comfortable owning ambiguous failures, making decisions on the line and following the evidence.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Prior on-site experience at Foxconn or another major Asian contract manufacturer or original design manufacturer.
  • Experience working in cleanroom environments.
  • New product introduction experience taking products from early engineering builds through mass production, including ramp and yield improvement on the line.
