What you’ll do

• Design and document the assembly, rack integration, and test process for new server and rack products, including work instructions, process flows, takt and cycle time targets, and line layout.
• Lead new line and new site bring-up at CM/ODM partners, from process validation and capacity verification through pilot builds and release to mass production.
• Specify, source, and validate tooling, fixtures, and test equipment.
• Own first-pass yield, cycle time, and process capability in production; run SPC, analyze failure and rework data, and drive corrective actions with manufacturing partners.
• Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test feedback during product development and represent manufacturing in pilot build reviews.
• Qualify process changes and engineering changes on the line, including PFMEA updates, control plan revisions, and operator training, before changes are cut in.
• Replicate a qualified process from one line or site to another without a yield or throughput regression, and audit partner lines against Anthropic standards.
• Partner with product engineering, test engineering, quality, and supply chain to resolve systemic build issues and reduce per unit cost.
