About the role

Senior TPM for NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG) who owns SoC programs from architecture through tape-out, bring-up, and productization, driving outcomes, schedules, and trade-offs with hands-on experience in bring-up and validation; requires on-site collaboration in Santa Clara with AI-enabled program management approaches.

Responsibilities

  • Own program outcomes end-to-end — define and manage schedules, surface dependencies before they block work, and drive multi-functional alignment from architecture review through tape-out and bring-up; you’re accountable for delivery, not only oversight.
  • Lead through design complexity — take part in critical design reviews, flag scope risks early, resolve them with minimal disruption, and make trade-off calls others will depend on.
  • Be the connective tissue — act as the main technical link among silicon, systems, software, operations, and marketing; keep teams aligned on program goals and GTM needs, and catch misalignment before it hurts the program.
  • Drive risk to closure — find technical and schedule risks early, build mitigations with engineering, and move work forward with clarity and context, not only status.
  • Raise the execution bar — capture lessons from finished programs and put in place process changes that measurably improve speed, quality, and predictability on later programs.
  • Handle silicon hardware logistics — coordinate movement, tracking, and availability of silicon, boards, and peripherals so validation and bring-up stay unblocked.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience); a master’s is a plus
  • 12+ years in technical roles, with at least 5 years in technical program management — ideally driving SoC programs from bring-up through productization
  • Deep, hands-on understanding of SoC bring-up, validation, and productization — you know the stages, what each involves, and what can go wrong
  • Ability to work across the silicon–system–software boundary — enough depth in each area to spot integration risks and drive fixes without having to be the expert on every technical question
  • Proven track record to run fast development cycles in uncertainty — you develop transparency instead of waiting for it
  • Communication that is precise, direct, and right-sized for the audience
  • On-site in Santa Clara, CA, a minimum of three days per week
