About the Role

You will own the factory execution layer that translates quality problems into implemented fixes at our supplier partners across Taiwan and Southeast Asia. You will build the supplier quality function — yield governance, CAPA discipline, field failure closure — and you will personally drive cross-product factory issues to closure on a defined timeline. The role carries authority to hold shipments and halt production for quality.

What You'll Do

• Cross-Product Factory Execution: Take full ownership of factory-side issues regardless of product line or supplier. Upon receiving a defined problem and proposed fix, drive the implementation through the supplier to verified closure. Translate engineering intent into floor-level action, replacing ambiguity with strict accountability and clear timelines.

Lead the Production Data program and define required fields (yields, cycle times, retest rates, test coverage, defect Pareto). Partner with internal team to ingest data into our warehouse, replacing ad-hoc supplier reports with quality dashboards.
• Supplier Production Quality: Establish yield review cadence at each supplier. Drive PCBA yield, functional test yield, burn-in yield, and time-to-failure analysis. Chair weekly quality reviews with supplier leadership and hold production when quality evidence warrants.
• NPI Quality: Partner with HW Engineering on DFM and DFT reviews.
• CAPA and Corrective Action: Own the supplier CAPA program end-to-end. Drive root cause to evidence-backed closure with a focus on preventative action. Maintain a CAPA record that withstands ISO audit and IPO diligence.
• Field Failure Analysis: Close the loop from field returns to supplier corrective action. Partner with HW Engineering and third-party labs on failure analysis. Feed findings into design, process, and incoming inspection changes.
• Supplier Audits: Conduct on-site process audits at suppliers and critical sub-tier suppliers. Validate test equipment calibration, operator training, process adherence, and document control. Report findings in audit-grade format.
• Test Coverage and Test Log Governance: Define testing requirements, coverage levels, and data retention standards for each supplier. Identify and close gaps across stations and product lines.
• Strategic Foundation: Establish the data foundation for supplier scorecards, SBRs, and board-level quality reporting. Establish yield review cadence at all primary suppliers and close the open supplier CAPA backlog to audit-grade standard.

What You Bring 

• Five or more years in factory quality, supplier quality, manufacturing engineering, or factory operations roles at a hardware or electronics company.  
• Demonstrated track record of driving cross-functional manufacturing problems to implemented closure. Direct experience managing supplier or contract manufacturing quality in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
• BS or MS in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent formal training. Working knowledge of ISO 90001:2015, APQP, PPAP, 8D, and SPC.
• Native or fully fluent Mandarin, including reading and writing capability sufficient to review Chinese-language QC reports, work instructions, and supplier responses.  Professional English for US team communication, technical documentation, and executive presentation. 
• Electronics manufacturing depth: PCBA assembly, functional test, burn-in, box build.  Working knowledge of mechanical assembly processes and materials. Experience in imaging, IoT, wireless, access control, or adjacent connected hardware is preferred.
• Advanced data analysis skillset.
• Prioritize verified effectiveness over status updates; You hold suppliers and internal team to firm deadlines and deliverables. Serve as the primary point of contact for Engineering, Sourcing, and Supply Chain Management to resolve factory issues.
• Ability to travel 30% to supplier factory sites (primarily Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, with occasional travel to China). Occasional travel to US headquarters.

Bonus

• Master’s degree or MBA.
• Prior experience building a quality function in region.
• ASQ CQE, CQA, or CRE certification.
• Experience with security, surveillance, or access control hardware.
• Prior experience integrating supplier or factory data into a centralized data warehouse or analytics platform.

This role is one of our general tracks. Apply here for all engineering teams at Canonical who work on low-level system technology on autonomous devices across all seniority levels.

We hire careful and conscientious engineers who appreciate the challenge of memory, performance, battery and connectivity constrained code that has to work every time in an unreliable and unforgiving world, on x86, ARM or RISC-V silicon.

Canonical Ubuntu is the leading Linux for software engineers, desktops, cloud and IoT. We bring open source to the world as a high-performance, safe and secure platform for enterprise computing, software engineering, and connected devices.

These smart, connected devices have the potential to transform every industry. Classic Ubuntu – desktop or server – is widely used in embedded systems because of its developer focus and enterprise grade security maintenance. We partner with the world's most prominent silicon companies to optimise Ubuntu on their latest and greatest chips, as well as with major OEMs and ODMs (PC, servers and connected device manufacturers) to ensure that Ubuntu works perfectly on their hardware.

But while classic, ‘deb’ based Ubuntu is ideal for developers, it has too much variability for appliance or connected device environments, where you want to know *exactly* what the state of millions or billions of devices might be. So Canonical builds Ubuntu Core, a fully containerised version of Ubuntu that is mathematically precise and rigorously secure. We are working on additional solutions for even smaller devices.

We have several teams that focus on open source for embedded environments. We hire outstanding Linux software engineers with a passion for open source, innovation, cutting-edge hardware and software technologies in general. You will be expected to make significant contributions through high-quality design and code, and to develop your technical leadership.

These roles include:

• Ubuntu Core and snapd software development 
• Silicon software and optimisation engineers 
• Kernel driver and hardware enablement engineers 
• Hardware-centric Linux QA Engineers 
• Hardware Certification Engineers 
• Robotics engineers

#LI-remote

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1200+ colleagues in 80+ countries and very few roles based in offices. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder led, profitable and growing.

We are hiring an Engineer Director, Devices Software Engineering to drive the strategy and implementation of our next-generation Ubuntu hardware enablement quality. This critical function is part of our mission to transform Linux certification, in partnership with the engineering directors of Ubuntu Enablement and Ubuntu Certification. Our goal is to deliver the world's best long term OS stability commitment on PC, server and IoT hardware.

We believe that Engineering Directors should be outstanding engineers themselves. They should be very comfortable reviewing a patch or a software design spec. They are trusted engineers who understand the importance of a whole-team effort in creating great products, and who enjoy seeing colleagues develop. They should contribute code themselves to set the standard for coding, but know that the code they write is far less significant than their ability to shape the whole team’s direction, focus and delivery. We grow management skills, and train engineers who are interested in soft skills to be managers. Even though this is a director level position, managing managers, we expect Engineering Directors to be outstanding system software engineers with the confidence to lead by example across the full range of activities in their teams. You’ll need to know how to drive testing and benchmarking to improve the clarity in your teams around quality and performance. You’ll also need to be confident to set and defend high expectations of work ethic, consistency, focus and learning.

In this Engineering Director role, you will lead the strategy and the team responsible for quality coordination and integration testing of our software stacks with hardware. We are looking for a quality expert with the ability to establish quality processes from the ground up. The candidate must understand today's PC and ARM IoT hardware, and be excited about the new generation of RISC-V hardware that is on the horizon. They should understand the board and device product lifecycle and know the tools and techniques used to introduce new products. They will work with teams across the company to drive quality improvements through the entire development cycle. This challenging role demands a high degree of technical skill combined with management experience.

Today, most Linux certification is poor quality. Vendors run one set of tests and then declare that 'the hardware is certified'. But Linux is not a static platform. We make many more security fixes in the Linux world than people traditionally made in the proprietary OS world - all of these need to be tested on hardware which has been certified, even if that certification is 'old'. Also, Linux and open source evolve significantly every six months, and even more between major enterprise releases like the Ubuntu LTS versions. During the lifespan of an LTS, new kernel improvements will be available to users, and they want to be sure that their hardware will work. Today's Linux certification programs do not meet the needs of its users, and we want to change that.

Our intention is to deliver continuous quality and certification across the entire portfolio of certified hardware. Once we have enabled and certified a device, we intend to keep testing it to ensure that every single change we deliver to Ubuntu users globally is verified on all the hardware we know about. We also intend to measure energy consumption on a continuous process, as part of our commitment to measure, manage and drive down the carbon footprint of Ubuntu usage around the planet. We are building the world's largest and best-equipped Linux device certification facility in Taipei, which will enable this continuous testing. We are also structuring our renewed partnership and customer agreements to facilitate this process going forward.

We believe that open source is just starting to transform the tech sector and enterprise compute. Our goal is to make open source easier, more reliable and more secure for deployment and development. We strive to be the provider of ‘most software to most companies’. To deliver on that ambition, our engineers are carefully selected from the applicants across the globe. We select for brilliance and motivation to take open source to the next level. Our engineering directors and managers help teams achieve more than they thought they could, and feel proud of the result.

As an Engineering Director at Canonical your primary responsibility is to the teams you lead, to ensure that they measure outcomes, make process improvements, do valuable work, and find career satisfaction at Canonical. Technical leadership is a requirement, so that you’re able to challenge and grow your teams. Strong aptitude for planning, management and operations are necessary too. You will have the opportunity to influence our culture, facilitate technical delivery, and work with your teams on strategy and execution. You’ll select, develop, retain and lead teams of excellent software developers to design and implement software that runs on various CPU architectures, such as ARM, RISC-V, and x86. You will meet with stakeholders, prioritize requests, plan your roadmap and ensure the team can deliver their goals.

Location: As an Engineering Director position, this requires a candidate who is confident to run a project which spans several teams and time zones, hiring and managing both engineering managers and staff engineers.
