- Lead, support, and grow a high-performing team of customer-facing networking engineers.
- Provide organizational and technical leadership across NVIDIA networking technologies, including BlueField, ConnectX, Spectrum-X, DOCA, RDMA, RoCE, and InfiniBand.
- Support large-scale customer design-in, bring-up, and deployment of current and next-generation AI systems, while preparing for future platforms.
- Engage directly with engineering, product management, architecture, and program teams to translate field requirements into product improvements and roadmap priorities.
- Build team capability through hiring, onboarding, coaching, mentoring, and performance management.
- Develop future leaders by strengthening technical leadership and team ownership.
- Guide resource planning and customer prioritization across multiple strategic accounts to enhance business impact and execution quality.
- Improve team scalability by investing in debugging methods, telemetry, automation, documentation, and operational excellence.
What We Need to See:
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 12+ overall years of experience in software, systems, networking, or AI infrastructure engineering.
- 5+ years of proven experience leading and scaling engineering teams, including hiring, mentoring, and managing senior engineers or technical leads.

- Experience handling customer issues and driving alignment across teams in fast-paced, high-visibility situations.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with customers, engineering, product, architecture, and leadership teams.
- Demonstrated ability to scale impact through others and build strong team execution.
- Ability to operate effectively across organizational and geographic boundaries in dynamic environments.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
- Experience leading customer-facing engineering teams supporting hyperscalers, cloud providers, or large-scale AI factory deployments.
- Familiarity with technologies such as DOCA, DPDK, RDMA verbs, NCCL, CUDA-aware networking, congestion control, and telemetry or performance tuning at scale.
- Experience leading multi-functional initiatives across multiple teams, sites, or time zones.
- Established record of improving operational excellence, triage efficiency, and engineering productivity via automated and AI-enhanced workflows.
