Details

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the end-to-end lifecycle for the Circuit Solutions Group (CSG), spanning pre- and post-silicon execution. The role supports NVIDIA's VLSI Engineering organization by aligning roadmaps across silicon product lines and improving execution from Architecture/RTL handoff through silicon bring-up and productization.

Responsibilities

Drive the Arch-to-Silicon lifecycle by developing high-fidelity schedules and managing dependencies across design, verification, physical implementation, tape-out, and validation.
Serve as the primary strategic liaison between CSG and cross-functional partners, including VLSI, Architecture, ASIC, Operations, and Systems.
Participate in design reviews and manage change control to balance scope changes against schedule impact.
Lead Closed-Loop Validation schedules by comparing silicon results against simulation assumptions to improve future model accuracy.
Orchestrate post-silicon test plans covering architectural requirements, PVT corners, and critical corner cases.
Build expert-level Smartsheet dashboards providing real-time visibility into program health, test-plan progress, and prioritization for executive teams.
Improve operational excellence by codifying procedures and using Python to automate the ingestion of lab data into project management tools.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience; a master's degree is preferred.
At least 8 years of technical program management experience focused on semiconductor design and the full ASIC/SoC lifecycle.
Strong technical fluency in VLSI, including the design cycle, silicon validation, and correlation.
Ability to align teams on a unified execution path and influence technical trade-offs.
Critical-thinking skills and the ability to synthesize complex technical data into actionable project plans.
Outstanding negotiation and presentation skills, with the ability to influence senior engineering staff without direct authority.
Expert-level Smartsheet proficiency, including advanced automation and visual dashboarding.

Preferred Qualifications

Direct experience in circuit design or hardware validation.
Proficiency in Python for automating data-driven project management tasks.
Experience running projects in cutting-edge process nodes.

Benefits

NVIDIA offers competitive salaries, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package. The base salary range is USD 168,000–258,750 for Level 4 and USD 200,000–322,000 for Level 5. Applications will be accepted at least until October 24, 2026.
