About this job

NVIDIA’s Datacenter Ethernet Business is growing rapidly. We are seeking a Director-level Product Manager with deep technical expertise in networking hardware, silicon, and platform architecture to lead global product strategy for next-generation Ethernet networking solutions. This senior leadership role offers broad cross-functional collaboration, executive visibility, and global responsibility for shaping NVIDIA’s intelligent networking portfolio.

As a product management leader, you will define the long-term strategy and drive the lifecycle of advanced networking hardware and silicon platforms, working closely with architecture, ASIC, systems, software, and go-to-market teams worldwide. Positioned at the intersection of AI infrastructure, high-performance networking, and cloud-scale datacenter innovation, you will influence the direction of NVIDIA’s next-generation networking technologies and help shape the future of accelerated computing.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Lead the strategic direction and product vision for NVIDIA’s Ethernet networking hardware and silicon platforms, driving product planning, execution, lifecycle management, and technology transitions.

  • Define product requirements and roadmaps for next-generation networking ASICs, systems, and platforms in collaboration with engineering, architecture, and key ecosystem partners.

  • Drive cross-functional execution across hardware, silicon, firmware, software, operations, and business teams to deliver industry-leading networking solutions for AI and cloud datacenters.

  • Partner with strategic customers and hyperscalers to understand emerging requirements and translate them into differentiated networking products.

  • Represent the product strategy with executive leadership, customers, and industry partners, influencing the evolution of NVIDIA’s datacenter networking portfolio.

What We Need to See:

  • BS/MS in Engineering or equivalent experience.

  • 15+ years of overall experience with 8+ years in software or infrastructure roles within the networking industry, with deep technical proficiency.

  • Deep knowledge of Ethernet switch and router hardware, including switching/routing ASICs, packet-processing pipelines, and the underlying silicon that powers modern data center networks.

  • Solid grounding in data center hardware, rack-level build, and physical infrastructure is required. This includes server, networking, power, cooling, and cabling considerations that develop how AI and cloud fabrics are deployed at scale.

  • Experience leading product strategy development and delivery in complex global organizations as a senior IC (director-level scope) or people leader.

  • A strong blend of systems-level technical depth, business insight, and critical thinking.

  • Demonstrates outstanding communication and confidence when sharing ideas at the executive level. Influences global teams without authority. Manages competing priorities effectively in a rapidly changing environment.

Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:

  • Background in modern data center networking, including telemetry, analytics, and automation powered by artificial intelligence.

  • Hands-on exposure to switch silicon, NPUs/DPUs, or merchant ASIC platforms and the software that orchestrates them.

  • Experience with deep learning, data science, and GPU-accelerated environments.

  • Demonstrated success launching and scaling highly technical infrastructure products globally.

  • Passion for technology, innovation, and solving complex networking challenges.

At NVIDIA, we are at the forefront of breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Visualization. Our teams are composed of driven, innovative professionals dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology. We offer highly competitive salaries, an extensive benefits package, and an inclusive work environment. If you consider yourself to be a leader in this space then this is a role for you!
