Building on efforts like Jalapeño, the team is developing future generations of AI-native silicon and tightly integrated systems to power the next generation of frontier models. By co-designing chips, systems, tools, and methodologies, the team helps deliver faster, more efficient, and production-ready hardware for OpenAI’s supercomputing platform. About the Role OpenAI's Hardware organization builds supercompute platforms from silicon and boards to full rack-scale systems to power advanced AI workloads. This role owns end-to-end quality for high-speed interconnect hardware across the product lifecycle: early design influence, supplier/contract manufacturer readiness, qualification, ramp, and fleet quality in lab and data center environments. You will be the quality lead for advanced interconnect components and assemblies, including high-speed copper cables, cable cartridges, patch panels, backplane/cable-backplane solutions, high-speed connectors, and related electro-mechanical interfaces. You will partner closely with electrical, mechanical, SI/PI, systems, reliability, operations, and external vendors to prevent escapes and drive rapid, data-driven containment and corrective action. In this role you will: Own quality for advanced interconnect components and assemblies: high-speed connectors, high-speed copper cables, cable cartridges (e.g., cable cassette style assemblies), patch panels & optics, and backplane/cable-backplane interconnect solutions. Drive quality-by-design: participate in design reviews, DFM/DFx, tolerance stacks, material and plating selections, connector mating strategy, strain relief, and assembly methods to reduce variation and field failures. Define and track quality and reliability metrics (DPPM, yield, escapes, RMA/FRACAS trends, Cpk/Ppk where applicable) for interconnects across NPI and m

About the Role As a Supply Chain Program Manager, you will own material readiness and supply chain execution for critical hardware programs spanning custom silicon, systems, memory, storage, networking, and rack infrastructure. You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Strategic Sourcing, Manufacturing Operations, Finance, Planning, Quality, and external suppliers to develop and execute scalable supply strategies that support aggressive product development and deployment timelines. This role requires deep understanding of hardware supply chains, material planning, NPI execution, supplier management, and operational scaling in constrained and rapidly evolving environments. In this role you will: Material Readiness & Supply Planning - Own end-to-end material readiness across NPI and production phases, including building the necessary framework and processes for enablement. Drive supply planning and execution for long lead-time and constrained commodities including ASICs, HBM, DDR, SSDs, networking, optics, power, thermal, and mechanicals. Build and manage material readiness plans aligned to proto/pre-EVT, EVT, DVT, PVT, and mass production schedules. Monitor supply health, lead times, inventory positions, allocation risk, and capacity constraints. Drive shortage management, allocation mitigation, and recovery planning. Coordinate supply commits, forecast alignment, and supply continuity planning with suppliers and manufacturing partners. Cross-Functional Program Ma

We are seeking a detail-oriented PCB Layout Engineer to maintain electronic component libraries and develop printed circuit board layouts. This role works closely with electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, procurement, and NPI to ensure component data and PCB designs are accurate, consistent, and ready for production. This position is in Austin, Texas. Key Responsibilities Create, verify, and maintain schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and associated 3D models. Validate component pin assignments, dimensions, land patterns, and library attributes against manufacturer documentation. Maintain library naming conventions, revision control, and component approval processes. Develop PCB layouts from approved schematics, including component placement, routing, stackup coordination, and design rule setup. Collaborate with engineers to address electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing requirements. Run design rule checks, resolve layout issues, and participate in design reviews. Prepare fabrication and assembly deliverables, including Gerber or ODB++ files, drill files, drawings, and pick-and-place data. Coordinate with PCB fabricators and assembly suppliers to resolve manufacturing questions. Support engineering changes and maintain accurate release documentation. Work with procurement and engineering to identify obsolete components and evaluate suitable alternatives. Required Qualifications Experience with setting up PCB design and electronic component library management. Proficiency in Cadence Allegro/OrCAD. Ability to interpret schematics, component datasheets, and mechanical drawings. Working knowledge of PCB fabrication, assembly processes, and design for manufacturability. Familiarity with relevant IPC standards for PCB design and component land patterns. Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and ability to manage competing priorities. Experience with multilayer, high-density, mixed-signal, and high-speed PCB designs. Familiarity w

About Team Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives. About Role We're a growing hardware company. As we scale, we also need a supply chain that evolves and stays nimble to the changing shape and direction our engineers designs. Today we need someone who understands the iterative process of R&D but is also ready to expand into new product introduction (NPI), and after that, high-volume manufacturing. We're hiring for where we're headed, not just where we are today. This role prioritizes judgment, adaptability, and analytical ability over years of experience alone. A strong candidate will be able to reason from first principles, quickly develop expertise in new commodities, and identify potential commercial or technical issues before they affect the program. While extensive tenure is not required, this is not an entry-level position; candidates should have a solid foundation in strategic sourcing, supplier management, and hardware manufacturing. Over time, you'll help us build out a full supply chain organization: buyers, global supply managers (GSMs), contract manufacturing leads, and specialists across categories like precision machining, gears and mechanical components, EMS/PCBA, electrical components, and contract/JDM manufacturing. Where this role goes - into a specific commodity, into people management, into ops - will depend on where you're strongest and where the business needs you most. This role is based in San Francisco, CA and requires in-person presence 4 days a week and up to 30% travel to vendor sites. In this role you will: Partner directly with engineering during R&
