Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Manager to lead post-silicon bring-up and productization for complex silicon products, driving from first power-on through debug, validation, production readiness and sustained ramp.

You will coordinate across architecture, design, verification, firmware, software, boards and operations to achieve bring-up milestones, resolve high-risk issues, and shape the roadmap for future devices.

Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 12+ overall years of proven experience and 5+ years of management experience.
• Proven experience leading teams through first-silicon bring-up, issue triage, debug closure, and transition to production.
• Deep technical understanding of digital design, computer or system architecture, power, timing, clocking, reset, noise, fault analysis, and hardware-software interactions.
• Strong experience with post-silicon debug and validation flows, including lab execution, test planning, data-driven issue management, and multi-functional execution in fast-moving environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end post-silicon execution plan, from first-silicon power-on through production qualification and volume ramp.
• Drive technical and program execution across architecture, design, verification, firmware, software, boards, systems, test, product engineering, and operations to achieve bring-up, debug, validation, and productization achievements.
• Lead the bring-up operating model, including priorities, staffing, customer concern paths, execution reviews, issue triage, metrics, and closure plans for the highest-risk silicon issues.
• Lead the resolution of sophisticated post-silicon issues involving power, clocks, reset, boot, interfaces, performance, reliability, and coordination between hardware components and software systems, ensuring rapid root-cause analysis and effective cross-team closure.
• Drive silicon characterization and reliability qualification plans through execution. This involves assessments of electrical, speed, power, thermal, environmental, and operational conditions.
• Establish and continuously improve bring-up methodology, test planning, debug readiness, lab readiness, and execution processes to increase speed, quality, and predictability across programs.
• Partner with senior leadership to communicate readiness, risks, dependencies, and recovery plans, and drive decisions that balance schedule, quality, and production objectives.
• Help shape the broader post-silicon roadmap by applying bring-up findings to design, verification, debug architecture, and productization flows.
