Senior Developer Relations Manager, Energy - Power Generation Ecosystem

Details

NVIDIA is seeking a Developer Relations leader to build a partner and developer ecosystem of GPU-accelerated applications across the power generation industry. The role sits at the intersection of engineering and business and partners with OEMs and ISVs to co-create digital twins, accelerate physics-based simulation, and deploy AI to improve reliability, safety, and efficiency across thermal (gas/steam), nuclear (large reactors and SMRs), renewables (solar, wind, hydro), and grid-connected storage. The role spans on-prem, edge, and secure/air-gapped environments and translates real-world plant constraints into platform requirements.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical relationships with CTOs, product managers, and developers across power generation partners (nuclear/SMR, gas/steam, renewables, hydro, storage) to accelerate adoption of NVIDIA platforms such as CUDA, Omniverse, Modulus/Physics-ML, RAPIDS, Triton/TensorRT, NIM, Earth-2, Clara, Jetson/IGX, DGX/GB200, networking, and edge/embedded solutions.
• Shape blueprint reference solutions for plant digital twins, balance-of-plant optimization, predictive maintenance and anomaly detection, human-in-the-loop operations, advanced controls, and accelerated design/simulation workflows.
• Drive SDK integrations, joint roadmaps, and evidence-based product feedback loops; influence NVIDIA platform priorities with partner requirements, metrics, and performance benchmarks.
• Produce high-quality developer content including sample code, reference architectures, and how-to guides; deliver workshops, enablement sessions, and conference talks (e.g., GTC and industry forums).
• Orchestrate multi-party solutions with ISVs, OEMs, SIs, and cloud providers supporting engineering design, qualification, licensing, and plant operations.
• Define and track success metrics (design-ins, SDK integrations, POC→production conversion, content adoption, training completions, co-marketing results) and report progress to partners.
• Partner with Sales and Business Development to land lighthouse deployments and scale wins across global fleets while ensuring enterprise-grade security, safety, and reliability (model validation, data governance, air-gapped/edge patterns).

Requirements

• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical/Mechanical/Nuclear Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years overall in developer-facing or solution roles (Developer Relations, solutions/field engineering, product/tech marketing, application engineering) delivering AI/ML, simulation/HPC, or industrial software.
• 2+ years leading multi-functional technical initiatives or developer programs (people management or strong matrix leadership).
• Domain familiarity with power-generation operations (plant systems, procedures, safety culture, outage/maintenance cycles) and industrial IoT/OT environments.
• Demonstrated ability to build developer content and communicate effectively with both executives and deep technical audiences.
• Comfort operating in regulated, critical settings (secure/air-gapped, redundant architectures) and collaborating on cybersecurity practices.
• Willingness to travel ~25–40% for partner sites and industry events.

Ways to stand out

• Direct work with Siemens Energy, Hitachi Energy, Westinghouse, GE Hitachi, Rolls-Royce SMR, or SMR start-ups.
• Proven acceleration of CAE/CFD/FEA/neutronics/thermal-hydraulics or physics-ML workloads on GPUs, with published benchmarks or case studies.
• Knowledge of nuclear/quality standards and regulatory frameworks (e.g., NQA-1, 10 CFR 50 App. B, IEC/ISO safety) and their impact on software qualification and ML deployment.
• Open-source contributions, reference architectures, or widely adopted tutorials in industrial/energy domains.
• Experience delivering edge AI in harsh/regulated environments (air-gapped, redundant, SIL-rated) and integrating with OT/ICS or exposure to autonomous control/finite-state automation for plant operations.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary ranges provided by level:
  • Level 4: 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD
  • Level 5: 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD
• Eligible for equity and benefits.

Other details

• Applications accepted at least until August 31, 2025.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. The role emphasizes creativity, autonomy, and collaboration with technical and executive stakeholders.
