About the role
This role defines and qualifies the CPU platform ecosystem, ensuring customer confidence in deploying NVIDIA data center CPUs alongside GPUs, networking, storage, DPUs, and third-party components.
What you'll do
- Define the required platform ecosystem by product, customer use case, and launch phase, including maintaining the qualification roadmap and approved-vendor list.
- Head enablement and qualification activities for NVIDIA GPUs on PCIe and a range of third-party devices: networking, storage, DPUs, accelerators, management controllers, and security components.
- Drive cross-component dependencies involving BIOS/UEFI, BMC, firmware, drivers, operating systems, telemetry, and manageability.
- Lead readiness against platform and ecosystem standards, including Arm ServerReady, with defined test coverage and certification evidence.
- Run ecosystem-readiness reviews focused on gaps, exceptions, and decisions, producing launch-readiness and executive views of coverage and residual risk.
- Coordinate execution across CPU platform, firmware, validation, GPU, networking, DPU, storage, OEM/ODM, component-vendor, and customer teams for committed ecosystem items.
What you'll need
- 6+ years in technical product management, platform engineering, systems engineering, validation, or ecosystem enablement.
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- Proven experience delivering server, silicon, embedded, or other complex hardware/software platforms to customers or production.
- Experience with PCIe devices and server-platform dependencies including BIOS/UEFI, BMC, firmware, drivers, operating systems, and manageability.
- Experience running component qualification, compatibility matrices, approved-vendor lists, certification programs, or release-readiness processes.
- Proven track record to drive closure across many engineering and partner organizations without direct authority.
- Technical presentation skills and disciplined management of configurations, evidence, issues, and risk.
