Technical Program Leader - Software Networking TPM

NVIDIA Networking is seeking an experienced technical program leader to join our Software Networking TPM organization.

You will drive complex software and firmware programs powering NVIDIA's next-generation AI data centers, from early technology initiation and pathfinding through Plan of Record (POR), detailed planning, and execution.

This role combines technical depth, cross-functional leadership, and program ownership. You will partner with Product, Architecture, and R&D leaders and coordinate across TPMs to facilitate decisions, establish executable plans and commitments, and drive delivery. The role may expand to include direct or matrix leadership of a small TPM team.

• Engage with Product, Architecture, and R&D on requirements, technical tradeoffs, and dependencies, driving clarity on scope, priorities, and decisions.
• Translate evolving technical inputs into executable plans with clear ownership, milestones, resource commitments, and success criteria.
• Drive alignment and execution across teams, anticipate risks, resolve gaps, and hold stakeholders accountable for commitments.
• Communicate program status, risks, tradeoffs, and required decisions clearly to technical teams and executives.

Requirements:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 15+ years of relevant experience in software technical program management, software engineering, or technical leadership with at least 5 years of direct management experience.
• Strong software engineering understanding, with the ability to effectively engage in technical discussions about architecture, development, integration, and system dependencies.
• A proven record of driving large, complex, multidisciplinary software programs from early definition through execution and delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to bring focus and clarity to ambiguous problems, exercise sound judgment, manage risks, and secure commitments across organizational boundaries.
• Clear, concise verbal and written communication in English, with the ability to align engineers, architects, and executives around decisions and actions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• People management experience, particularly leading and developing TPMs or technical teams.
• Expertise in storage or networking technologies.
• Experience coordinating strategic programs across global engineering organizations and multiple product generations.
