Local to Houston is strongly preferred.

What you'll be doing:

• Be a technical specialist on GPU and networking products, partnering with account, program, architecture, and engineering teams to support design‑in, integration readiness, issue resolution, and successful ramp execution.
• Actively establish and nurture technical relationships with partner engineering teams, technical leaders, internal stakeholders, and cross‑functional launch teams.
• Identify customer architectures and key product requirements in the CSP/ODM AI market to successfully implement NVIDIA's solutions.
• Provide primarily onsite technical support, with remote and travel‑based support as business needs require, to debug hardware, firmware, software, networking, and system integration issues.
• Lead the product across design‑in, NPI, rack integration, validation, production ramp, sustaining support, and lifecycle transitions.
• Develop technical solutions including hardware & software demos and example system builds.
• Offer technical enablement to internal technical teams, account teams, program teams, and partner‑facing stakeholders.
• Establish strong communication channels and collaborative relationships with internal teams to ensure a positive customer experience.

What We Need To See:

• BS or MS in Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in system design, datacenter deployment, manufacturing support, technical customer support, or ODM/partner integration.
• Capable of excelling in a dynamic, constantly evolving environment.
• Remarkable talent for effectively managing multiple initiatives and priorities.
• Expert analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Strong time‑management and organizational skills for coordinating complex projects.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with both management and engineering teams.
• Familiarity with server, rack, GPU, networking, storage, power, thermal, cabling, firmware, BMC, and Linux‑based debug workflows.
• Experience supporting integration, validation, or production ramp of complex datacenter systems.
