Technical Program Manager – VLSI
NVIDIA · Santa Clara, CA · 2 wk ago
HybridInformation TechnologyFull-time
What You'll Be Doing
- Translate complex VLSI project management methodologies into highly scalable, full-stack software solutions.
- Develop, containerize (eg: Kubernetes, Docker), and maintain AI-driven agents to automate routine project management tasks such as schedule tracking, resource mapping and dependency mapping.
- Partner with VLSI Program Managers and Engineering Leads to assess how work gets done, systematically upgrading processes from undocumented, manual tasks into measured baselines, and ultimately into robust, self-improving automated systems.
- Use Python, modern web frameworks, and AI-assisted environments (like Cursor, Claude, Codex, etc.) to build internal tools and API integrations that seamlessly ingest lab and engineering data into real-time program health dashboards.
- Reduce manual overhead for technical leads by implementing CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices for our internal project management tooling.
What We Need To See
- BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience (Masters preferred)
- 5+ years of engineering experience with 2+ years of project or program management experience, backed by a solid technical/engineering foundation.
- Proficiency in Python is mandatory. You should have robust full-stack and DevOps experience (Kubernetes, containerization, cloud infrastructure) and be comfortable using AI-assisted coding environments.
- Proven experience or strong interest in deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic frameworks to solve operational bottlenecks.
- Deep understanding of organizational workflow maturity—the ability to identify process gaps, add necessary telemetry, and engineer the transition from manual playbooks to reliable code.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where you must maintain composure while embracing rapid changes in AI technology.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
- Prior experience in Hardware Project Management or exposure to the ASIC/SoC development lifecycle.
- Advanced experience with API integrations between project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Jira) and custom full-stack applications.
- Background in data engineering or building automated KPI dashboards.
