Originally posted 12 October 2026 by the employer.

This role focuses on developing customer and partner evaluation of NVIDIA data center CPUs.

About the role

This role involves developing how customers and partners evaluate, adopt, and successfully use NVIDIA data center CPUs, combining hands-on customer evaluation with product ownership to identify friction and improve products, software, tools, documentation, and enablement.

What you'll do

• Lead the evaluation journey of customers and software partners, coordinating early access resources and scheduling, and building performance labs.
• Collaborate with customers, solution architects, account teams, performance engineers, lab teams, and product and engineering organizations to onboard real-world workload evaluation on NVIDIA data center CPUs.
• Translate recurring evaluation friction into prioritized improvements across products, software, tooling, documentation, and enablement.
• Drive product first impressions, including workload onboarding, performance setup, benchmarking expectations, tuning mentorship, and troubleshooting resources.
• Build repeatable evaluation workflows, technical mentorship, and onboarding patterns.
• Combine customer and partner input to form practical product requirements, separating specific support demands from developer-experience problems.
• Define and monitor indicators of success related to evaluation readiness, onboarding duration, reproducibility, issue resolution, documentation coverage, and customer outcomes.

What you'll need

• 5+ years of experience in product management, developer or partner enablement, solution architecture, or performance engineering.
• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related area, or equivalent experience.
• Experience leading technical evaluations, preview or developer programs, or workload onboarding.
• Proven ability and interest in working hands-on with customers, systems, software stacks, workloads, and technical evaluation details.
• Ability to translate customer and developer friction into clear product requirements, priorities, and scalable improvements.
• Experience working alongside product, engineering, performance, field, and go-to-market groups to achieve technical and customer results.
• Working knowledge of software ecosystems such as compilers, libraries, Linux distributions, frameworks, or cloud infrastructure.
• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to build clear, detailed, and reusable technical documentation.
