NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group sits at the intersection of architecture, silicon, systems, and manufacturing. SCG owns the hardest problem in chip development: making them all work together. This is an ownership role, not a coordination role. We need a Senior Program Manager who defines how the program operates and makes the call when the room is waiting. You set the operating model, cadences, and governance; translate strategy into actionable roadmaps; and surface program-health signals before they become crises. You are decisive under pressure and improve the system after every program. The exceptional hire uses AI deliberately — as a demonstrated force multiplier, not a credential.
What you will be doing:
Own end-to-end execution methodology: cadences, governance, achievement definitions, reporting, and critical issue paths.
Make forward-moving calls in high-visibility settings under tight turnaround — even without being the deepest technical expert.
Define, track, and own program health KPIs: schedule alignment, velocity, delivery quality, and dependency closure.
Apply statistical analysis and trend detection to surface risks invisible to any single function.
Own alignment across engineering, operations, product, and executive leadership.
Close risks — don't just report them.
Deploy new processes by earning trust and demonstrating value.
Capture lessons and drive measurable improvements in speed, quality, and predictability.
What we need to see:
Bachelor's in Engineering, Business, or related field or equivalent experience; MBA/master's a plus.
10+ overall years in technical or engineering organizations; 5+ years in program management, ideally in semiconductor or complex hardware environments.
Working knowledge of silicon, system, and product design cycles — judgment over technical mastery.
Proven composure and decisiveness under pressure and high visibility.
Track record building program infrastructure from scratch.
Strong analytical capability — data, statistics, and trend analysis to drive decisions, not just report status.
Demonstrated AI workflow impact.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Built a program operations function from the ground up that outlasted their tenure.
Owned high-stakes decisions in executive reviews, escalations, or live crises without deferring to the most senior engineer.
Driven organizational change in engineering cultures through earned trust, not enforced compliance.
Rolled out AI productivity tools with concrete, evidence-backed improvements to program outcomes.
