I supported Cloud Computing Infrastructure for Datacenter hardware and RMA processes. I support and manage NPI activities for Thermal Platforms such as Cooling Distribution Units, Heatpipes and Heatsinks, and also Power Platforms such as batteries, including product sustainment. I worked with a project team consisting of Program Managers, Engineering, Manufacturing, and Procurement. I performed and support failure investigations related to Thermal H/W and PCBA’s. Part of this role required tracking RMA metrics. I have performed Supplier site qualifications in the US and Asia for NPI, product transfer, supplier management, and Audits.
