Product Engineer, NPI

We’re in an unbelievably exciting area of tech and are fundamentally reshaping the data storage industry. Here, you lead with innovative thinking, grow along with us, and join the smartest team in the industry.

This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

Join the Global Supply Chain Operations Engineering team to be the critical technical bridge between R&D and manufacturing for our next‑generation, high‑density storage platforms. You will drive early product development, ensuring new hardware designs are manufacturable, testable, and scalable from concept to mass production. This is a highly influential, hands‑on role where you translate complex engineering requirements into high‑quality, cost‑effective, and reliable production outcomes.

Collaborate closely with Hardware Engineering, R&D, and global suppliers to deliver industry‑leading flash storage systems to our customers.

• Serve as the Operations technical lead, providing critical Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) feedback to R&D early in the product lifecycle to enable manufacturable and testable high‑density storage designs.
• Proactively identify and mitigate technical risks in PCB, component, and system‑level performance (NAND, PCIe, NVMe) to ensure world‑class reliability, quality, and cost targets are met.
• Streamline prototype bring‑up, refine assembly/test processes, and standardize manufacturing documentation across global supplier sites to improve yield, efficiency, and reduce overall product costs.
• Own the system Bill of Materials (BOM) within the PLM system, managing configuration accuracy and disciplined change control for end‑to‑end traceability across the supply chain.

• Experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, coupled with hands‑on experience integrating complex hardware systems (storage, server, or networking).
• Flash and Protocol Expertise:
  Proven, hands‑on experience with NAND‑based storage systems, high‑density flash products (SSDs), and a working technical knowledge of PCIe and NVMe protocols.
• Design & Manufacturing Acumen:
  Demonstrated proficiency in PCB design principles, including schematic capture and layout review for high‑layer‑count boards, along with a deep understanding of Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes and essential test methodologies (DFT/DFM).
• Lifecycle Management & Data Integrity:
  Practical experience utilizing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and ERP systems (such as Agile PLM or Net Suite) to manage Bill of Materials (BOMs), execute change control, and ensure end‑to‑end configuration traceability.
• A strong track record of applying analytical skills to drive significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency, product yield management, and overall quality, thriving in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.
• We are primarily an in‑office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office 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.
