Senior Staff Technical Program Manager, NPI

NVIDIA Vera Rubin deployments begin in early 2027. We are hiring the Senior Staff TPM who will own that generation introduction. Not manage a workstream inside it, but define and drive the entire NPI engagement model from chip vendor engagement through first customer cluster delivery.

Responsibilities

Own the Vera Rubin generation introduction end-to-end: chip vendor and OEM dependencies, architecture updates, cloud foundations work, commissioning gate framework definition, and first customer cluster delivery; Define the NPI engagement model for a new GPU generation; Lead NPI Phase 0 on the Cloud TPM side; Manage compounding cross-SKU dependencies where active B200/GB300 production programs are running in parallel with Vera Rubin NPI; Maintain portfolio-level situational awareness across NPI programs, active production deployments, and cloud foundations work; Integrate infrastructure economics with program decisions; Evolve the Site Operations PM to Cloud TPM engagement model as Crusoe scales; Partner with VP and SVP-level stakeholders on programs with significant organizational risk; Drive the TPM organization from reactive to predictable; Set the standard for AI tool integration across the TPM team

Requirements

Generation-level GPU architecture fluency; Deep software/firmware lifecycle knowledge: BIOS/BMC/GPU firmware, DOCA targets, driver stacks, GPU validation and burn-in; Networking and storage depth: cluster-leaf topology evolution, ZTP requirements, fabric commissioning, storage architecture implications; Direct hardware partner engagement: personal ownership of NVIDIA or OEM certification and validation timelines; Active daily use of AI tools to drive program-level outcomes; 12+ years as a Technical Program Manager with a track record of owning NPI programs end-to-end at a hyperscaler, GPU cloud provider, or AI infrastructure company; Proven ability to define NPI engagement models from scratch; Demonstrated portfolio-level ownership: managing compounding dependencies across parallel NPI and production programs; Track record of driving cross-organizational alignment at VP/SVP level without formal authority; Exceptional written and verbal communication for delivering clear, data-driven, decision-oriented updates to executive stakeholders

Nice to have

Direct Vera Rubin program experience from a hyperscaler with earlier hardware access than neoclouds; Experience defining or substantially redesigning an NPI commissioning gate framework (G0–G6 or equivalent); Exposure to generation-level architectural transitions affecting both IaaS and Managed Services simultaneously; Experience coaching or developing Staff-level TPMs in technical depth and program execution
