Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. NVIDIA is a leading company in the semiconductor industry, focusing on hardware infrastructure for silicon development. They are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead architectural modeling and functional simulation efforts, ensuring software teams have the necessary environments and infrastructure for pre-silicon software readiness.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive NVIDIA's software left-shift program, ensuring software teams have the environments, interfaces, and infrastructure they need to begin development earlier in the silicon lifecycle
• Partner with architecture, modeling, and software teams to identify and resolve dependency blockers that prevent software from moving left
• Define program structure, milestones, and success criteria for pre-silicon software readiness across multiple concurrent chip programs
• Lead executive-level program reviews, surface risks early, and drive cross-functional decision-making with clarity and data.6
• Build feedback loops between software findings on models and the architecture and modeling teams — turning SW-on-model results into actionable pre-silicon improvements
• Drive alignment across hardware and software organizations on new chip features — ensuring teams collectively understand architectural changes and their downstream software impact
• Translate complex technical dependencies into structured plans that enable teams to implement with confidence

Skills

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years of technical program management experience in the semiconductor or computing industry
• Demonstrated experience managing programs at the hardware-software boundary — you understand both sides and can hold credible conversations with silicon architects and software engineers alike
• Background in pre-silicon environments — familiarity with architectural models, simulation infrastructure, or equivalent
• Track record of driving complex, multi-org programs from ambiguity to execution across large engineering organizations
• Strong executive communication skills — you know how to distill complexity into decisions, not status updates
• Hands-on experience in architecture enablement or driver software engineering role before moving into program management
• Familiarity with GPU or compute chip architecture — specifically how software interacts with the hardware stack pre-tape-out
• Experience driving software readiness programs where the deliverable was an environment or infrastructure for software teams, not silicon delivery itself
• Exposure to UMDs, KMDs, timing models, or application-level analysis in a pre-silicon context
• Prior experience at a GPU, CPU, or AI accelerator company where pre-silicon SW enablement was a first-class priority

Benefits

• NVIDIA offers highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
• You will also be eligible for equity and [benefits](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/benefits/).
