About the role

Senior Technical Program Manager to lead deep technical engagements with hyperscale cloud service providers for NVIDIA’s next-generation datacenter systems, acting as the primary NVIDIA point of contact for system software, firmware, and platform readiness across CSP partnerships.

Responsibilities

  • Lead deep technical engagements with hyperscale CSPs as the primary NVIDIA point of contact for system software, firmware, and platform readiness for NVIDIA datacenter products.
  • Partner with CSP system software, firmware, and infrastructure engineering leaders to align on software architecture, bring-up plans, deployment readiness, and production requirements for NVIDIA-based server and rack-scale platforms.
  • Represent CSP technical priorities internally, advocating for customer requirements and tradeoffs across NVIDIA’s system software, firmware, hardware, silicon, and product teams.
  • Own the end-to-end CSP engagement lifecycle, from early technical alignment and pre-production readiness through large-scale deployment, escalation management, and sustained production support.
  • Drive bi-directional technical communication: translating CSP system-level requirements into actionable focus areas for NVIDIA engineering teams, while communicating NVIDIA platform capabilities, tradeoffs, and limitations back to customers.
  • Proactively identify and manage cross-company technical risks affecting CSP deployments, including OS enablement, firmware maturity, observability, reliability, and hardware/software integration challenges.
  • Support rack-scale and multi-rack datacenter deployments by working closely with CSP infrastructure teams and NVIDIA engineering stakeholders to ensure system software readiness and operational success at hyperscale.

Qualifications

  • Strong background in systems or embedded software, with experience across Linux kernel/drivers, server firmware (BMC/BIOS/UEFI), or datacenter platform bring-up and hardware/software interfaces.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership as a software engineering manager, technical lead/architect, or senior systems/platform engineer leading large cross-functional efforts.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering datacenter server software or rack scale systems, not application only or SaaS only software.
  • Experience working directly with hyperscale CSP engineering teams on deep technical topics, including bring up, performance, reliability, observability, and deployment readiness.
  • Strong ability to operate as a technical leader and influencer, aligning senior engineers, architects, and executives across organizational and company boundaries.
  • BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years of experience in systems software, embedded software, or datacenter server development, including leadership responsibility.
