Manager, AI Factory Deployment Data Center

Details

NVIDIA is seeking a highly motivated Deployment Manager to own the labor, logistics, and resources required to physically bootstrap large-scale DSX AI data center builds, from equipment receipt through rack-ready hand-off. The role requires deep knowledge of large-scale data center deployments in distributed, multi-vendor environments.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a deployment team consisting of internal technicians and vendor labor. The team will manage receiving, staging, rack placement, and power and network connections at scale.
• Establish NVIDIA's deployment approach for phased DSX builds.
• Anticipate labor, loading dock, storage, and scheduling constraints and implement solutions before issues occur.
• Collaborate with Data Center Operations, engineering, receiving, production owners, and vendor partners to establish a deployment and hand-off model through the pre-cluster stage.
• Develop staffing plans, metrics, dashboards, KPIs, and reporting tools to measure deployment throughput and support continuous optimization.
• Establish strong business relationships with internal and external partners, including general contractors and vendors.
• Break down functional silos and foster a transparent, collaborative business unit.
• Facilitate meetings and communication activities to align executive and senior leadership on deployment status, build schedules, and cross-functional dependencies.
• Identify, track, and prioritize schedule, labor, and supply risks, and develop mitigation strategies.
• Establish repeatable processes and runbooks, including decommissioning and site restoration, so lessons from early builds can be applied to future DSX sites.

Requirements

• Positive, high-energy attitude.
• BS, BA, or BEng degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience. A master's degree is preferred.
• At least 10 years of relevant experience across data center deployment, construction, operations, hardware, and networking, including people management.
• At least 4 years of experience leading distributed and diverse teams, including contractor and vendor labor.
• Tolerance for ambiguity, flexibility, and willingness to implement ideas from others.
• Ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs through shifting priorities and compressed schedules.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, quantitative, organizational, and analytical skills.
• Ability to share concise conclusions and provide supporting analysis as needed.
• Passion for finding solutions to problems and being creative and technology savvy.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in a fast-paced technology environment, with attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Deep understanding of data center power, air and liquid cooling, networking, and cabling infrastructure.
• Experience deploying high-density GPU racks at scale.
• Experience with NetBox, CMMS, SNOW, inventory management, and project scheduling tools.
• Self-starter with a growth mindset and commitment to continuous learning and team improvement.
• High emotional intelligence and the ability to work effectively with everyone from senior vice presidents to field engineers and contractors.
• Strong strategic outlook, persuasion, and negotiation skills.

Benefits

The expected base salary range is USD 184,000–276,000 per year, depending on location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The position also includes eligibility for equity and benefits.
