TL;DR

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) within NVIDIA’s Hardware Infrastructure team, you will focus on architectural modeling and functional simulation efforts for next-generation GPUs. Your role involves driving the software left-shift program to ensure early development access for software teams, partnering with architecture and modeling teams to resolve dependency blockers, and leading executive-level reviews to surface risks and drive cross-functional decisions. You will also build feedback loops between software findings and hardware design improvements, ensuring alignment on new chip features across both hardware and software organizations. The ideal candidate has a background in technical program management within the semiconductor industry, with experience at the hardware-software boundary, familiarity with pre-silicon environments, and strong executive communication skills. Additionally, hands-on experience in architecture enablement or driver software engineering is preferred, along with knowledge of GPU or compute chip architecture and pre-silicon SW enablement programs.

What you'll do

  • Own and drive NVIDIA's software left-shift program to empower early development.
  • Identify and resolve dependency blockers for software teams moving earlier in the silicon lifecycle.
  • Define program structure, milestones, and success criteria for pre-silicon software readiness.
  • Lead executive-level reviews, surface risks, and facilitate cross-functional decision-making.
  • Build feedback loops between software findings on models and architecture teams.
  • Ensure alignment across hardware and software organizations on new chip features.
  • Translate complex technical dependencies into actionable plans for implementation.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of technical program management in semiconductor or computing industry.
  • Experience managing programs at the hardware-software boundary with deep understanding of both domains.
  • Background in pre-silicon environments, including architectural models and simulation infrastructure.
  • Track record of driving complex multi-organizational programs from ambiguity to execution.
  • Strong executive communication skills for distilling complexity into actionable decisions.
  • Hands-on experience in architecture enablement or driver software engineering before program management.
