Job description

As an Infrastructure Technical Program Manager, you’ll be a key partner to our external NCP partners as well as key internal teams (Software Engineering, Production Engineering/SRE, and Data Center Operations) and their leadership, driving critical programs related to on-prem infrastructure engineering, bare-metal bring-up, and automation. You’ll play a pivotal role in developing and maturing foundational capabilities and processes, spanning critical areas such as hardware validation, remote fleet bootstrapping, operational workflows, and cluster/capacity bring-up. This is a dynamic, fast-paced environment where TPMs are motivated to apply versatile abilities to a range of high-impact programs across the infrastructure lifecycle.

  • Fleet Bring-Up, Automation: Coordinate the end-to-end remote bootstrapping, active bring-up, and validation of large server fleets to take clusters from physical rack-and-stack to a customer-ready state. Drive the adoption of automation tooling for fleet maintenance, node security, and burn-in, while establishing formalized workflows to rapidly triage and resolve day-one deployment issues.

  • NVIDIA Software Integration & Capacity Operations: Partner closely with internal NVIDIA SW teams to integrate and deploy DSX and other core software stacks within on-prem environments. Lead day-to-day capacity operations with a focus on availability, maintenance, and multi-tiered infrastructure workflows. This role includes the potential to scale scope by driving end-to-end capacity onboarding and operations with NCP partners as part of internal DGX Cloud (DGXC) capacity.

  • Cross-Team Roadmap Interception: Work across diverse NVIDIA engineering teams to understand, map, and intercept incoming technology roadmaps against physical data center readiness timelines.

  • Program Governance: Gather detailed requirements, build comprehensive roadmaps, and manage risks under the Product Lifecycle (PLC) framework for bare-metal capacity deployment. Leverage Jira and program management tools to instill structured execution across engineering and data center work.

  • Metrics, Visibility & Communication: Establish clear critical metrics to quantitatively track program velocity, infrastructure availability, and overall cluster health. Develop robust communication strategies-including turning weekly operations reviews into highly collaborative sessions.

Requirements

We are specifically looking for a TPM with extensive experience in CSP/NCP cloud environments, on-prem infrastructure bring-up, and hardware automation., + 10+ years of technical program management experience, specifically driving the planning and execution of cloud infrastructure programs, with a strong focus on hardware/software integration across many engineering teams.

  • Infrastructure Expertise: Extensive hands-on experience in cloud or on-prem enterprise infrastructure, data center bring-up, bare-metal deployments, and a deep understanding of hardware infrastructure.

  • Tooling Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency with Jira, Smartsheet, or similar program management tools, with the ability to confidently design ticket queues and guide engineering teams within an Agile/Scrum framework.

  • Strategic Leadership: Exceptional strategic and tactical thinking abilities, coupled with a strong capacity to build consensus, establish operational workflows, and drive program success through uncertainty.

  • Communication Skills: Outstanding communication, collaboration, and technical presentation skills, with a proven ability to increase meeting engagement, gather feedback, and align senior multi-functional collaborators.

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent experience.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • In-depth knowledge of NVIDIA GPU products, cluster deployment, validation testing, and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure bring-up. Direct experience managing dependencies between pioneering AI software stacks and foundational physical infrastructure.

  • Experience working with accelerated deployment schedules (e.g., rapid 30-day data center rollouts) and asset-backed operational models.

  • Prior background establishing automated server benchmarking, burn-in execution, and infrastructure health validation workflows.

  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, managed-Kubernetes platform layers, and distributed systems.

  • Significant experience with productivity tools, process automation, and establishing standard operating guidelines across many technical domains.
