Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for NVIDIA's autonomous driving simulation platform.

About the role

As the Director of Simulation Product Management, you will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for NVIDIA's autonomous driving simulation platform. This role involves defining how the industry uses NVIDIA's simulation technology to reconstruct real-world driving data, generate safety-critical synthetic scenarios, and close the loop between AV policy training and real-world deployment.

What you'll do

- Define and own the long-term product vision and roadmap for NVIDIA's AV simulation platform, spanning neural reconstruction (NuRec), generative simulation (Cosmos Sim), synthetic data generation (Cosmos Transfer), data curation (Cosmos Curator and Dataset Search), and closed-loop policy evaluation (AlpaSim). - Drive end-to-end product lifecycle from requirements definition through engineering execution and customer adoption. - Build deep partnerships with OEMs, robotaxi operators, and AV software developers to understand their simulation pipelines and surface unmet needs. - Partner with research and engineering teams to translate fleet data workflows, sensor modeling requirements, and policy evaluation needs into executable product requirements. - Establish and track key product and ecosystem metrics like scenario coverage, reconstruction fidelity, closed-loop evaluation throughput, and customer adoption. - Collaborate with go-to-market, developer relations, and solutions engineering to drive platform adoption and articulate the value of NVIDIA's simulation stack. - Lead, mentor, and grow a team of Product Managers focused on AV simulation. - Represent NVIDIA's simulation vision at industry events, safety and standards forums, and executive briefings.

What you'll need

- 12+ overall years of product management experience with a track record of delivering complex technical platform products at scale. - 4+ years in a senior or director-level PM role with experience leading and growing high-performing PM teams. - Deep understanding of autonomous driving development workflows, including sensor data pipelines, closed-loop simulation, synthetic data generation, and safety validation methodologies. - Hands-on familiarity with neural reconstruction, 3D Gaussian Splatting, or sensor simulation techniques. - Demonstrated ability to build multi-year product strategy in a fast-moving environment and drive cross-functional execution. - Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills with a proven ability to influence and align across engineering, research, business development, and external partners. - Experience building developer or enterprise platform products with a clear understanding of how to grow adoption through APIs, SDKs, and open ecosystems. - BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
