Join NVIDIA as an NPI PCB Technical Program Manager on the OPS Quick Turn PCB Engineering Service Team. We are looking for a motivated, technically skilled program leader to lead complex, cross-functional NPI PCB programs from concept to production. In this role, you will collaborate with engineering, product leaders, and supplier R&D teams to plan, implement, and reduce risks in advanced PCB and system bring-up programs essential to NVIDIA’s product roadmap.
What you'll be doing:
Lead internal and external cross-functional teams (Engineering, SI/PI, DFM, Quality, and PCB/Material suppliers) to complete NPI programs on time, within budget, and according to technical requirements.
Own end-to-end technical program management for advanced PCB builds (high-density-interconnect, high-layer-count) – from stack-up review and DFM through pre-order material, fabrication, and delivery to engineering teams.
Drive technical decision-making on trade-offs across schedule, cost, yield, and development risk; review stack-ups, impedance, materials, and panel utilization with suppliers and NV design teams.
Build and maintain detailed program schedules, critical paths, and risk registers. Lead just-in-time risk-buy strategy and proactively resolve schedule, capacity, and blocking issues with PCB suppliers and internal NV teams.
Track and communicate full-path PCB ordering status (order placement through goods receipt) to engineering requesters and leadership; publish clear, data-driven status to executive partners.
Define, instrument, and monitor important metrics (cycle time, timely delivery, yield, NPI quality) for internal teams and supplier performance. Drive continuous improvement of tools, workflows, and processes to scale the team’s output.
Run technical program reviews, gate meetings, and post-mortems; capture lessons learned and translate them into repeatable playbooks for future NPI programs.
What we need to see:
10+ years of recent experience as Project Manager, Materials Manager, or equivalent responsibilities in NPI field.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
Strong technical proficiency in PCB development and manufacturing fundamentals: stack-up, materials (CCL, prepreg), HDI / HLC processes, DFM, impedance, and panel utilization.
Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams that are geographically distributed. Able to coordinate with local and offshore suppliers. Skilled at prioritizing competing tasks under high pressure with minimal supervision.
Track record of managing multiple concurrent programs with shifting requirements and tight timelines; comfortable owning critical-path schedules and driving risk mitigation.
Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills; able to collect and coordinate large amounts of technical and program data accurately. Able to communicate data at the right level of detail for the audience.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present technical trade-offs and program status to engineering leaders and executives.
Practical experience working with SAP PRD and PDP / Windchill (or similar PLM / ERP platforms).
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Recent experience driving NPI activities on advanced compute, GPU, networking, or AI hardware platforms.
Deep hands-on experience with HLC and HDI PCBs, complex multi-supplier builds, and SI/PI or DFM trade-offs.
Experience defining program KPIs and building dashboards / automation that scale a global NPI operations team.
Hands-on experience leveraging leading-edge AI tools (e.g., Claude, Codex, Cursor) to accelerate program management workflows, automate reporting, and drive productivity gains across cross-functional NPI teams.
Ability to thrive in a rapidly changing, highly technical, and multifaceted business environment.
