The team leads the development of networking infrastructure for NVIDIA's next-generation data centers, focusing on accelerated performance while enabling optimized end-to-end GPU connectivity, focusing on datacenter-level optimized solutions for AI. As a leader of our Hardware Engineering team, you'll guide, encourage, and drive a team of highly skilled hardware engineers, providing them with stimulating and ambitious assignments and enabling them to stay creative and motivated while delivering products on schedule.

What You'll Be Doing:

Build the best team to design and execute high-performance optical transceivers.

Be a key member of the technical leadership team developing world-class optical interconnects.

Lead innovative high-performance optical module design from concept to mass production.

Collaborate with and integrate all HW project disciplines: Board Design, Assembly Process, Mechanics, Thermal, PCB Layout, Production Engineering, Software/Firmware, Procurement, NPI, and more.

Plan and oversee your team’s work on multiple simultaneous development projects in coordination with the broader leadership team. Manage direct reports, set goals, provide coaching, conduct performance appraisals, plan careers, and make compensation recommendations.

Collect, examine, and filter requirements from internal customers such as marketing, software, and systems engineering to assemble a comprehensive plan of record for next-generation switches while planning resource allocation for projects and assign team members effectively.

Schedule projects, create realistic outcome estimates, and drive timely, successful execution for high-volume manufacturing.

This position is hands-on and will require a deep understanding of all technical/engineering aspects of the project with intimate familiarity with the entire development flow. From a technical standpoint, you will lead and support engineering teams in the following areas: specification definition, electrical schematics, component selection, layout guidance, hands-on lab testing, production processes, qualification workflows, micro-architecture development, verification, characterization, design for testability, cost optimization, reliability, and more.

What We Need to See:

A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

12+ overall years of industry experience in architecture, design, and methodology for cutting-edge board design development.

6+ years of leadership experience.

Strong background of technical design management experience.

Proven experience in leading multi-disciplinary projects, multi-layer, high density PCB design.

Hands-on lab skills.

Expertise in power delivery design and proficiency in high-speed design.

A deep understanding of broadband high-speed ICs.

The ability to provide insight and guidance on trade-offs between power, performance, manufacturability, thermals, cost to meet product requirements.

Proven experience with leading execution of highly complex and innovative designs in tight schedule with risk mitigations and detailed planning for first time success.

Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to quickly build relationships, prioritize conflicting needs, and align teams effectively.

Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:

Experience in designing data-center networking products for high-volume manufacturing.

Proven knowledge of high-speed design (25Gb/s and above).

Experience with optoelectronics and optical communication systems.

Expertise in embedded systems design.

Knowledge of advanced PCB technologies.

NVIDIA is widely considered one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're a creative manager with a passion for leading teams to deliver cutting-edge high speed optical communication solutions, we want to hear from you!
