Senior Product Manager, Accelerated Computing HW and SW Fundamentals - job 1 of 2

We are now looking for a Senior Product Manager: Accelerated Computing HW & SW Fundamentals.

This role operates at the hardware–software boundary of the most advanced computer systems in the world. As demand for compute grows while power and space plateau, the future of data centers depends on innovation across all layers of silicon and platform design. To elevate the quality, security, economics, and capabilities of accelerated computing platforms, we rely on close partnership with internal teams, customers, and vendors across the design cycle. This role reports into the Product Management team for NVIDIA Accelerated CPU Products (like Grace and Vera), helping orchestrate teamwork between these 3 components:

What you'll be doing:

Core Software and Firmware Enablement

• We're looking for someone to drive alignment between teams responsible for architecting NVIDIA CPUs, as well as CUDA, GPU drivers, Linux Kernel and distros, BIOS, BMC and IBVs partners, drive enablement plans, customer and partner adoption of key features like Confidential Compute, MPAM, advanced power management, and virtualization, and ensuring components, documentation, and recipes are in place for our entire accelerated compute product portfolio to deliver an excellent out-of-box experience across multiple product lines and their customers.

Telemetry, Quality, and Diagnosability

• Partnering with our HGX and DGX product teams, CPMs, engineers, and customers to understand active issues, communicate stages of resolution to our executive staff, and drive tactical and strategic (roadmap-based) closure of gaps. Handle expectations and internal reporting; act as a buffer between high-priority customer and deployments, their account teams, the product organization and engineering.

• Guiding component and system-level quality targets in partnership with platform and quality PMs. Help our teams understand and plan for comprehensive in-system telemetry and debugging in future products.

• Drive the distribution and packaging of workarounds, patches and mitigations or experimental firmware as needed.

3rd Party Hardware Ecosystem

• Driving partnership and alignment with key 3rd parties responsible for memory modules, PCIe add-in cards, and more. Ensuring the correct hardware, business, documentation, and software capabilities are present to integrate with NVIDIA platforms.

This is a high-impact role on a fast-moving and central NVIDIA product team, and requires exceptional:

• Communication skills: ability to express sophisticated ideas succinctly and at audience appropriate altitude.

• Motivation: self-starting with the ability to drive frequent progress on multiple cross-team efforts.

• Ability to Grapple with the Unknown: role definitions and product needs are very fluid, and paths to success will lack clear definition at times— especially in flat cultures like NVIDIA. For the right person, this is an opportunity to experience incredible breadth, and to “choose your own adventure.”

• Technical and Architectural Capability: this role sits at the intersection of hardware and system software. EE / CS familiarity, preferably with a computer architecture background and working knowledge of the Linux kernel and boot process is required.

• Curiosity and Intellectual Honesty: solving problems requires looking around corners, asking “why,” and the clarity and flexibility to occasionally reflect on and accept a change of paths.

• Analytical Thinking: able to build objective measurements of schedules, economic trade-offs, and competitive insights.

• Collaboration: we are all here to work on incredible tech that sparks joy, and and to take pride in getting stuff done. There is more than enough impact and scope for everyone to be successful doing it — hero PMs help the product, their partners and their colleagues succeed together.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience).

• 10+ years of experience as a technical product or program manager in a multifaceted, fast-paced, high-tech environment.

• Proven understanding of the datacenter hardware and server ecosystem. Familiarity with Arm CPUs is a plus.

• Excellent project management and cross-functional leadership skills.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

• Ability to lead multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Want to sit at the heart of the world’s top AI platforms, wear many hats, solve strategic and technical problems, and build the future with a close-knit team of outstanding PMs? We’d love to hear from you.
