[Remote] Senior Technical Program Manager, Chip Tools
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. NVIDIA is a leading technology company known for its chips that power AI supercomputers and autonomous vehicles. They are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager for Chip Tools to manage program initiatives, drive tool health, and facilitate cross-team coordination across the chip development lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end program management for Chip Tools, beginning with Fuse, ensuring reliability, uptime, and performance meet the needs of hardware engineering teams across the chip development lifecycle
- Drive tool health initiatives: define SLOs, track incidents, lead root cause analysis, and deliver on improvement roadmaps that reduce friction and prevent recurrence
- Build and maintain a dependency map across Chip Tools -understanding upstream and downstream relationships to surface risk, handle conflicts, and ensure alignment with the chip roadmap
- Partner with HW engineering leads to translate the chip development roadmap into tool readiness requirements; proactively identify gaps and mobilize engineering resources to close them
- Facilitate cross-team coordination across tool developers, infrastructure teams, and HW users -running structured program reviews, tracking action items, and holding teams accountable to commitments
- Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting mechanisms to give leadership and customers real-time insight into tool health, open risks, and delivery status
- Find opportunities to evolve Chip Tools from reactive support into a proactive, system-focused operating model - and build the processes to get there
- Onboard new tools into the Chip Tools portfolio as the scope expands beyond Fuse, establishing consistent standards for program management, change control, and incident response
Skills
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience)
- 12+ years of technical program management experience, ideally in hardware, chip development, or engineering infrastructure environments
- Deep familiarity with the hardware development lifecycle - you understand how chips get designed, verified, and manufactured, and where tools are critical path
- Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder programs with many interdependencies in a fast-moving organization
- Strong instincts for dependency management: you can build a dependency graph, read it for risk, and drive mitigations before they become blockers
- Experience owning tool or infrastructure reliability programs - you know what good uptime, incident management, and SLO frameworks look like
- Clear and direct communicator: you can translate technical complexity into crisp executive summaries and credibly partner with both engineers and senior leadership
- Data-driven approach to program management - you instrument what you own and use data to bring awareness, prioritize and demonstrate progress
- Direct experience with chip fusing, programming, or test infrastructure tools in a semiconductor company
- Background owning internal developer tooling or platform engineering programs at scale
- Familiarity with NVIDIA's chip development process, or with comparable processes at a leading semiconductor company
- Experience building program management frameworks from the ground up - not just inheriting mature programs, but establishing structure in ambiguous environments
- Track record of growing a TPM scope horizontally: starting with one product or tool and expanding ownership across a portfolio
Benefits
- NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
- You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
