Principal Technical Program Manager - Networking

Details

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today the company is focused on AI and next-era computing where GPUs act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars. The 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 scale.

This Principal Technical Program Manager role sits at the intersection of hardware and cloud infrastructure and leads end-to-end networking release readiness across ConnectX and BlueField product lines. The role spans software and firmware alignment, delivery checkpoint tracking, and feature gap closure across multiple next-generation GPU platforms.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end networking release readiness for ConnectX and BlueField product lines.
• Coordinate software and firmware alignment, delivery checkpoint tracking, and feature gap closure.
• Keep multi-customer, multi-architecture deployments organized and on schedule for hyperscale cloud customers.
• Design and lead tooling and analytics capabilities that surface actionable program insights for leadership.
• Build a consolidated view of per-customer networking configurations (replace fragmented per-team tracking).
• Develop program communications tailored for engineering, product, and executive audiences.
• Represent networking requirements in cross-business-unit planning forums.
• Build repeatable program frameworks — operating rhythms, issue resolution paths — that persist across platform programs.

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.

Ways to Stand Out

• Hands-on familiarity with ConnectX, BlueField, or DOCA-based frameworks (or equivalent high-performance networking products).
• Background with InfiniBand or RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) 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.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary range: 240,000 USD - 379,500 USD (final base determined by location, experience, and internal pay equity).
• Eligible for equity and benefits (see NVIDIA benefits page).

Other details

• Location: Seattle, WA, United States.
• Time type: Full time.
• Applications accepted at least until April 2, 2026.
• NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes and is an equal opportunity employer.
