  • Collaborate closely with NVIDIA product management and hardware engineering teams to define release plans and program objectives.
  • Build a strong connection and feedback loop between sustaining and NPI engineering teams to improve product quality and development velocity.
  • Lead process improvement initiatives and help propagate SDLC standards across multiple engineering and TPM organizations.
  • Interact with diverse technical groups across organizational levels.

Requirements

  • 10+ years overall experience developing and leading complex low-level or system software projects, and 5+ years experience in a people management role.
  • Deep understanding of system architecture, including server topologies, out-of-band management, UEFI/BIOS, interconnects (e.g., PCIe, CXL), memory management, and RAS architecture.
  • Experience with complex system software for accelerators such as GPUs, DPUs, or FPGAs.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills and ability to achieve objectives under fast-paced timelines.
  • Proven ability to lead multiple projects with contending priorities.
  • Strong people management and mentoring skills with a consistent record of building cohesive teams.

Ways to stand out
