NVIDIA's data centers host ground-breaking products across high-performance computing to machine learning applications for autonomous vehicles and healthcare. At the heart of our data centers is the ability to engineer coordinated system designs in close coupling to NVIDIA's industry-leading GPU products. We are seeking a Data Center Capacity Planning Lead to develop and manage tools, processes, and analytics that align NVIDIA’s global data center supply with fast-growing internal demand. This role requires both a technical and business leader for a deep understanding of GPU roadmaps and associated infrastructure requirements. The Lead will be responsible for translating demand signals into actionable capacity plans across a global portfolio. The ideal candidate is self-sufficient, resourceful, and thrives in a fast paced environment.

What you’ll be doing:

+ Provide technical leadership in coordination with product requirements and configurations of mechanical and electrical system designs.

+ Build and maintain capacity planning models for critical data center resources inclusive of methodologies to track global demand, supply, and portfolio utilization.

+ Translate business drivers, internal tenant demand, and GPU roadmap requirements into multi-year capacity strategies.

+ Develop tools to measure incremental vs. cumulative demand and supply, highlighting constraints, risks, and available capacity.

+ Evaluate tradeoffs across timing, location, and develop options to optimize portfolio planning.

+ Partner with construction, design, finance, and operations teams to validate assumptions, incorporate technical dependencies, and ensure alignment with strategic growth.

+ Design & Construction Integration: Understand the complexities of rack-ready vs. powered-shell timelines, density requirements, and evolving GPU architectures.

+ Operate as a self-starter capable of independently identifying gaps, proposing solutions, and driving execution with minimal guidance.

What we need to see:

+ 12+ years of experience in data center capacity planning, portfolio management, or related engineering roles.

+ Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

+ Deep experience in the creation of tools, models, and dashboards that track demand and supply across sophisticated portfolios.

+ Solid understanding of data center infrastructure, design, and construction timelines, particularly as they relate to GPU architectures and roadmap transitions.

+ Proven experience in portfolio planning—balancing multiple projects, timelines, and capacity requirements.

+ Strong analytical, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.

+ Self-starter mentality; ability to work independently while influencing multi-functional partners.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

+ Prior experience in hyperscale, colocation, or semiconductor data center planning.

+ Familiarity with GPU architecture and associated cooling/power design requirements.

+ Sophisticated skills in Excel, SQL, or tools for capacity modeling and portfolio tracking.

+ Experience working in high-growth environments with rapid shifts in demand.
