Senior Developer Relations Manager, Edge AI And Functional Safety

Details

NVIDIA is seeking a highly technical and strategic Senior Developer Relations Manager to cultivate and grow the developer and partner ecosystem focused on Edge AI and functional safety for NVIDIA's embedded platforms: NVIDIA Jetson and NVIDIA IGX.

This role acts as a technical leader and advocate between OEMs, external developers, ISVs, and NVIDIA product and engineering teams to drive adoption of NVIDIA technologies in high-volume, safety-critical applications across industrial, healthcare, and robotics markets.

Responsibilities

• Strategic ecosystem engagement with OEMs, ISVs, and system integrators to accelerate design-in and deployment of Jetson and IGX for Edge AI solutions requiring functional safety.
• Provide architectural guidance to OEM and partner engineering teams on complex embedded systems design, including processor architecture, memory hierarchy, and high-performance I/O for sensor data pipelines.
• Advise developers and OEM teams on achieving required Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) and integrating safety-critical features on NVIDIA hardware and software (functional safety leadership).
• Create technical enablement materials (reference designs, architectural blueprints, white papers) and deliver workshops to scale development of safety-certified Edge AI solutions.
• Capture and communicate technical requirements and partner challenges back to NVIDIA product and engineering teams to influence Jetson and IGX product, software, and functional safety roadmaps.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product Management, and Marketing to define go-to-market strategies, secure design wins, and drive measurable platform adoption.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional technical experience, with 5+ years in Developer Relations, Technical Product Management, or Solutions Architecture.
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
• Deep technical expertise in complex embedded systems design, including processor architecture, memory hierarchy, and high-performance I/O.
• Strong practical knowledge managing data from high-bandwidth sensors (e.g., GMSL, MIPI, high-resolution cameras, LiDAR) and integrating high-speed networking (e.g., PCIe, 10G+ Ethernet, TSN, RDMA) into embedded AI platforms.
• Proven expertise in functional safety standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262) and the full safety lifecycle, including system architecture for software and hardware certification.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with OEMs or large solution providers on high-volume embedded technology adoption programs.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with experience using embedded toolchains and RTOS environments.

Preferred / Ways To Stand Out

• Direct hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson and/or NVIDIA IGX platforms.
• Experience designing or deploying industrial control systems (ICS) or medical devices that require formal SIL certification.
• Deep expertise in Edge AI/ML model architectures and deployment on embedded or resource-constrained systems.
• Familiarity with relevant NVIDIA SDKs (e.g., Metropolis, Holoscan, Isaac).
• Track record of influencing complex product decisions within large OEMs or hardware manufacturers in industrial automation, medical imaging, or robotics.

Benefits

• Base salary range by level:
  • Level 4: 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD
  • Level 5: 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD
• Eligible for equity and comprehensive benefits.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer and committed to fostering a diverse work environment.
• Applications accepted at least until December 15, 2025.
