Responsibilities

Drive operational excellence and innovation as the Manufacturing Engineering Manager leading process development, validation, and continuous improvement for server and storage product lines across PCBA (L6) and System Level (L10) manufacturing. You will build, empower, and direct a global engineering team to chart the technology roadmap and establish scalable, high-yield production systems. Partnering cross-functionally with Contract Manufacturers, Design Engineering, Quality, and Operations, you will transform product designs into reliable, cost-effective manufacturing operations. Your leadership ensures that production processes meet rigorous standards for quality, throughput, delivery, and safety.
Process Strategy & Validation: Define, implement, and validate scalable manufacturing process strategies for NPIs in partnership with Contract Manufacturers to maximize first-pass yield and production efficiency across L6 and L10 architectures.
Team Leadership & Capability Building: Direct, mentor, and grow a team of manufacturing engineers, fostering a high-performance culture focused on continuous improvement, accountability, and technical innovation.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) & Risk Mitigation: Partner directly with Design Engineering during early-stage development to embed DFM principles, execute PFMEAs, and implement mistake-proofing, automation, and preventive controls before volume ramp.
Technology Roadmap & Operational Impact: Establish the long-term manufacturing process technology roadmap alongside external partners and internal stakeholders to drive down cost, improve throughput, and elevate overall product quality.
Manufacturing Engineering Expertise: Technical foundation in manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, or industrial engineering concepts with hands-on expertise in PCBA (L6) and System Level (L10) manufacturing processes for servers, storage systems, or complex electromechanical assemblies.
Engineering Leadership: Proven track record of leading, mentoring, and developing high-performing engineering talent, managing resource allocation and operational schedules effectively.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & NPI Ownership: Demonstrated capability to align priorities and lead collaborative initiatives across Design Engineering, Operations, Quality, and external Contract Manufacturers throughout the NPI lifecycle.
Continuous Improvement & Quality Methodologies: Practical application of Lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma, root-cause analysis, statistical process control, and risk management frameworks (PFMEA) to solve complex operational challenges.
We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from our Partner Manufacturing office in Houston, TX in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
Salary ranges are determined based on role, level and location. For positions open to candidates in multiple geographical locations, the base salary range is reflective of the labor market across the applicable locations.
This role may be eligible for incentive pay and/or equity.
