Description

As a Principal Technical Program Manager on NVIDIA's Networking team, you will be responsible for leading the development of the company's networking release readiness across ConnectX and BlueField product lines. This role requires strong technical expertise in data center networking, including high-speed interconnects, network interface cards, and surrounding firmware and driver ecosystems.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of data center networking and experience working with hyperscale cloud customers at scale. You will be responsible for designing and leading tooling and analytics capabilities that surface actionable program insights for leadership, building a consolidated view of per-customer networking configurations, and developing program communications tailored for engineering, product, and executive audiences.

This role carries real organizational influence and requires clear communication skills across engineering, product, and executive audiences. You will represent networking requirements in cross-business-unit planning forums and build repeatable frameworks that outlast any single platform program.

Responsibilities:

  • Own end-to-end networking release readiness across ConnectX and BlueField product lines
  • Design and lead tooling and analytics capabilities that surface actionable program insights for leadership
  • Build a consolidated view of per-customer networking configurations, replacing fragmented per-team tracking
  • Develop program communications tailored for engineering, product, and executive audiences
  • Represent networking requirements in cross-business-unit planning forums
  • Build repeatable frameworks that outlast any single platform program

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • 15+ years of technical program management experience owning complex, multi-stakeholder release programs
  • Deep knowledge of data center networking, including high-speed interconnects, network interface cards, and surrounding firmware and driver ecosystems
  • Demonstrated experience working with hyperscale cloud customers at scale
  • Ability to build program infrastructure from scratch: tracking systems, reporting frameworks, cross-functional operating rhythms
  • Clear communication skills across engineering, product, and executive audiences

Nice to Have:

  • Hands-on familiarity with ConnectX, BlueField, or DOCA-based frameworks, or equivalent high-performance networking products
  • Background with InfiniBand or RDMA over Converged Ethernet in large-scale GPU cluster deployments
  • Experience leading tooling or analytics teams within a program management function
  • Familiarity with feature backlog governance and plan-of-record management
  • Experience building readiness tracking systems across multiple customer deployment architectures
