About The Position

NVIDIA is leading the way in groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing and Visualization. The GPU, our invention, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables outstanding creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. NVIDIA is looking for extraordinary people like you to help us accelerate the next wave of artificial intelligence. We serve as the central program management function for NVIDIA’s VLSI Engineering organization, providing the structure and insight needed to deliver world-class silicon. We align roadmaps across all silicon product lines, enabling technical leads to focus on engineering while we accelerate end-to-end execution. Through the integration of domain-specific workflows and intelligent infrastructure, we deliver automated schedule tracking, resource planning, and program health visibility across the full lifecycle—from Arch/RTL handoff through silicon bring-up and productization. We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to serve as a pivotal horizontal lead, orchestrating the end-to-end execution of our most ambitious silicon development projects. What You'll be Doing: As a Senior TPM, you would be responsible for the top-level silicon schedules and help manage complex dependencies across multidisciplinary teams to meet SOL (Speed of Light) schedules.
