About the role

NVIDIA is seeking a highly capable Technical Program Manager (TPM) to partner closely with our GPU Floorplan team and multi-functional collaborators in driving the execution of large, complex, multi-die SoC and chiplet programs. This role sits at the intersection of deep technical understanding and disciplined program execution.

Responsibilities

  • Own and drive end-to-end execution tracking for large-scale GPU / SoC floorplan programs across multiple dies and chiplets.
  • Build and maintain integrated program views spanning breakthroughs, dependencies, risks, and cross-team interactions.
  • Ensure plans from multiple chiplet/die owners roll up into a cohesive, executable project-level view.
  • Partner closely with floorplan and technical leads to identify, track, and prioritize critical technical issues impacting area, wiring, timing, and schedule.
  • Proactively identify execution risks, misalignment, and early warning signals across the program.
  • Drive structured risk reviews and mitigation planning, ensuring issues are visible early rather than discovered late.
  • Serve as a primary coordination point between floorplan and partner teams including architecture, RTL, PD, DFT, package, design, and tooling.
  • Improve the quality, consistency, and predictability of interactions across teams.
  • Help rationalize and mature program management processes as programs grow in size and complexity.
  • Champion better tooling, dashboards, and structured ways of working that reduce overhead on technical leads.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent experience.
  • 10+ years of relevant working experience.
  • Strong program or technical project management experience in complex hardware or silicon development programs.
  • Proven ability to manage highly interdependent, multi-threaded execution across multiple partners.
  • Sufficient technical depth to understand and engage on topics such as SoC architecture, physical design flows, floorplanning, or chip integration (not hands-on implementation, but informed judgment).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complexity into clear status and decisions.

Qualifications

  • Prior experience supporting floorplan, physical design, chip integration, or early silicon planning teams.
  • Experience working on multi-die, chiplet-based, or large SoC programs.
  • Able to operate effectively in environments with incomplete data, evolving requirements, and tight milestones.
  • Strong judgment in prioritization - knowing when to push, when to call out, and when to unblock quietly.

Skills

  • Strong program or technical project management experience.
  • Technical depth in SoC architecture, physical design flows, floorplanning, or chip integration.
  • Effective communication and synthesis skills.
  • Ability to manage interdependent projects and prioritize tasks.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Unprecedented growth in engineering teams.
  • Opportunity to work with highly dedicated and passionate individuals.
