[Remote] Senior Technical Program Manager, Pre-Silicon Software Enablement and Workload Studies

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.ResponsibilitiesOwn 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 lifecyclePartner with architecture, modeling, and software teams to identify and resolve dependency blockers that prevent software from moving leftDefine program structure, milestones, and success criteria for pre-silicon software readiness across multiple concurrent chip programsLead executive-level program reviews, surface risks early, and drive cross-functional decision-making with clarity and data.6Build feedback loops between software findings on models and the architecture and modeling teams — turning SW-on-model results into actionable pre-silicon improvementsDrive alignment across hardware and software organizations on new chip features — ensuring teams collectively understand architectural changes and their downstream software impactTranslate complex technical dependencies into structured plans that enable teams to implement with confidenceSkillsBS 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 industryDemonstrated experience managing programs at the hardware-software boundary — you understand both sides and can hold credible conversations with silicon architects and software engineers alikeBackground in pre-silicon environments — familiarity with architectural models, simulation infrastructure, or equivalentTrack record of driving complex, multi-org programs from ambiguity to execution across large engineering organizationsStrong executive communication skills — you know how to distill complexity into decisions, not status updatesHands-on experience in architecture enablement or driver software engineering role before moving into program managementFamiliarity with GPU or compute chip architecture — specifically how software interacts with the hardware stack pre-tape-outExperience driving software readiness programs where the deliverable was an environment or infrastructure for software teams, not silicon delivery itselfExposure to UMDs, KMDs, timing models, or application-level analysis in a pre-silicon contextPrior experience at a GPU, CPU, or AI accelerator company where pre-silicon SW enablement was a first-class priorityBenefitsNVIDIA 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/).Company OverviewNVIDIA is a computing platform company operating at the intersection of graphics, HPC, and AI.
