About The Position

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It’s a unique legacy of innovation that’s fueled by great technology—and amazing people. Today, we’re tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing what’s never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the world’s best talent. As an NVIDIAN, you’ll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world. Are you energized by the challenge of bringing order to complexity at the intersection of groundbreaking hardware and the world's most demanding cloud infrastructure? Our NVIDIA Networking team builds the connectivity fabric — ConnectX network interface cards, BlueField data processing units, and the DOCA software framework — that enables hyperscale cloud providers to deploy GPU clusters at unprecedented scale. We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager to lead this work across multiple next-generation GPU platforms. We think this is one of the most impactful program roles in the industry right now! The best program leaders don't just supervise work. They build the infrastructure that makes great execution repeatable. That's exactly what we need here. What you'll be doing: This role owns end-to-end networking release readiness across ConnectX and BlueField product lines. The work spans software and firmware alignment, delivery checkpoint tracking, and feature gap closure. Each hyperscale cloud customer brings distinct architectures, transport choices, and configuration requirements. Keeping all of that organized and moving is the job. Beyond execution, this role carries real organizational influence: Designing and leading tooling and analytics capabilities that surface actionable program insights for leadership Building a consolidated view of per-customer networking configurations, replacing fragmented per-team tracking Developing program communications tailored for engineering, product, and executive audiences Representing networking requirements in cross-business-unit planning forums Building repeatable frameworks — operating rhythms, issue resolution paths — that outlast any single platform program

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 15+ years of technical program management experience owning complex, multi-stakeholder release programs
• Deep knowledge of data center networking — high-speed interconnects, network interface cards, and surrounding firmware and driver ecosystems
• Demonstrated experience working with hyperscale cloud customers at scale
• Ability to build program infrastructure from scratch: tracking systems, reporting frameworks, cross-functional operating rhythms
• Clear communication skills across engineering, product, and executive audiences

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on familiarity with ConnectX, BlueField, or DOCA-based frameworks — or equivalent high-performance networking products
• Background with InfiniBand or RDMA over Converged Ethernet in large-scale GPU cluster deployments
• Experience leading tooling or analytics teams within a program management function
• Familiarity with feature backlog governance and plan-of-record management
• Experience building readiness tracking systems across multiple customer deployment architectures
