NVIDIA data center systems have become core to NVIDIA's rapidly growing enterprise and cloud provider businesses. These platforms bring together the full power of NVIDIA GPUs, NVIDIA NVLink, NVIDIA Networking, NVIDIA Data Center CPUs, and a fully optimized NVIDIA AI and HPC software stack.

We are seeking an excellent Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Compute Server Bring-Up team. This team is responsible for the bringup, integration, validation and troubleshooting for compute tray platforms of GPU Racks — ensuring servers are fully functional and validated as per requirement before mass deployment in data centers. You will directly lead all aspects of a group of bringup engineers and form a larger virtual team spanning across NVIDIA software & firmware teams to ensure successful bring up compute platforms both internally and with customers.

What you’ll be doing:

+ Own Initial Power-On and Board Bring-Up: Lead the initial power-on and functional validation of compute trays (CPU, GPU, NIC, storage including NVMe, cooling, etc.) internally and with customers. Ensure all functional requirements are met.

+ Form and lead a virtual team across NVIDIA software & firmware teams to ensure subject matter experts are available as needed throughout bringup. Regular reporting on status of bringup to provide visibility and ensure teams across the company are fully activated to help.

+ Oversee flashing, updating, and validation of firmware for all server components as per defined architecture. Ensure appropriate validation done for boundary, stress, and regression testing, and confirm telemetry, logging, and hardware management features working as per requirements. Document pain points, bring up failures, recovery flows, and provide actionable feedback to hardware, firmware, and software teams. Ensure usability, firmware/BIOS update coverage, and error reporting for reliable customer installation and operation

+ Factory & Manufacturing Support: Support manufacturing flows, firmware updates, and diagnostic procedures. Ensure BOM change signoff and process optimization.

+ Debug, Issue Resolution & Customer Support: Lead root cause analysis and resolution of bring-up failures. Collaborate with partners, ODMs, and customers for technical support.

+ Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Own and maintain platform design guides, bring-up checklists, and install instructions. Provide training and enablement for internal and external teams.

+ Product Ownership: Drive product life cycles with QA teams, ensuring robust bring up, productization, and delivery.

+ Performance Management: Conduct performance evaluations, develop a culture of excellence, and ensure high productivity.

What we need to see:

+ 5+ years of relevant experience managing systems/platform software teams, ideally in server bring up, firmware development, or data center solutions.bDeep experience operating successfully in a matrix environment, forming and leading high impact virtual teams spanning multiple disciplines.

+ BS, MS, or PhD in EE/CS or related field (or equivalent experience) with 12+ overall years of experience. Strong knowledge of compute tray designs, firmware enablement, and system-level architecture.

+ Proven track record of delivering scalable server products and solutions for large scale data centers. ​Experience collaborating with hardware, firmware, manufacturing, diags and QA teams

+ Experience with SCM (Git, Perforce) and project management tools (Jira).

+ Excellent written and oral communication skills, strong work ethic, and dedication to teamwork.

+ Hands-on experience with x86/ARM system architecture and coding (C/C++, Python).

+ You are a self-starter who loves to find creative solutions to complicated problems.

+ Proven excellence in server architecture, collaborating across teams for delivering server products as per defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

+ Experience leading bring-up for sophisticated compute architectures like GB200 NVL72.
