Bonus Points: * Experience defining or substantially redesigning a commissioning gate framework for site deployments. * Experience coaching or developing more junior TPMs in technical depth and program execution. ## Description * Own the infrastructure deployment for new sites or site expansions end-to-end: chip vendor and OEM dependencies, architecture updates, cloud foundations work, commissioning gate framework definition, and first customer cluster delivery as the success metric. * Lead Deployment Phase 0 on the Cloud TPM side: define firmware version targets and DOCA targets before kickoff, set commissioning gate criteria, and define the DRI matrix. * Manage compounding cross-SKU dependencies where active production programs (e.g. B200/GB300/VR) are running in parallel with capacity expansion projects, and prevent them from competing for the same Engineering pool without a plan. Technical Leadership * Owns real-time execution dashboards; delivers crisp, data-driven executive updates that surface decision elements without requiring follow-up * Governs cross-organizational dependencies without waiting for escalation authority Organizational Influence and TPM Function Development * Coach more junior TPMs on technical depth, risk identification, and executive communication. * Actively drives AI tool integration across their programs; identifies where AI materially improves program tracking, risk detection, and executive communication What You'll Bring to the Team: Technical Foundation * Deep, working fluency with GPU architecture across SKU generations, firmware lifecycle (DOCA, driver stacks, BIOS/BMC), compute orchestration, SDN, storage, networking (leaf-spine topology, ZTP, fabric commissioning), and monitoring/observability * Direct hardware partner engagement: personal ownership of NVIDIA or OEM certification and validation timelines, not coordination feeding into someone else's relationship. * Active daily use of AI tools to drive program-level outcomes: risk detection, dependency mapping, data analysis, and executive communication, not just personal productivity. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Data Science on Software Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/162-data-science-on-software-data) ## Related Articles - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
