Manager, Distinguished Engineer - DGX Systems Software

We are seeking an engineering leader responsible for end-to-end delivery of every DGX compute system,from firmware through the AI stack to customer deployment. You will ensure each DGX product ships as a production-ready system where firmware, OS, drivers, CUDA, networking, and AI applications work together seamlessly, while driving architecture and roadmap for next-generation platforms.

Key responsibilities include:

• End-to-End Stack Readiness: Ensure every DGX platform is ready for the full NVIDIA software stack,firmware, DGX OS, GPU drivers, CUDA toolkit, DCGM, DOCA/OFED, and management tools,as a validated, production-quality product.
• Platform Firmware Development: Lead development of the manageability firmware stack (BMC, BIOS) for all DGX platforms.
• Validation Strategy: Define validation strategy proving each DGX platform is production-ready: end-to-end system validation including firmware regression, NVQual certification, DL workload performance, OS/CUDA stack testing, multi-user scenarios, power/thermal validation, and field upgrade reliability.
• Platform Bring-Up & Architecture: Drive platform bring-up for each new DGX system,coordinating first boot across new silicon (CPU, GPU), board design, and firmware teams.
• Customer Deployment & Enablement: Ensure firmware release flows meet CSP and enterprise deployment requirements.
• Product Delivery Lifecycle: Own the complete DGX delivery lifecycle,system architecture, firmware development, integration, full-stack validation, GA release, and customer deployment,for every DGX product.
• Cross-Org Alignment: Serve as single point of accountability for DGX platform readiness across NVIDIA,aligning GPU, CPU, networking, security, OS, and AI software teams to deliver on schedule.
• Quality & Vendor Management: Own RCCA processes for field issues. Manage external vendor partnerships (AMI for SBIOS, BMC contributors) with clear quality gates and program tracking.
• Team Leadership: Build and lead a world-class engineering organization. Mentor and develop leaders. Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual honesty, and customer obsession.
