NVIDIA
Join to apply for the
Mechanical and Thermal Program Manager
role at
NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self‑driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. This is our life’s work — to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Are you ready to help us change the world?
The product development team is seeking an experienced program manager to drive and support our mechanical & thermal engineering efforts. Our team takes pride in building a wide range of products — GPU PCIe cards, SHIELD consumer devices, Jetson embedded platforms, DRIVE autonomous vehicle technologies, modular data center architectures, and more. In this role, you will have the opportunity to help bring ground‑breaking technologies to life.
What You Will Be Doing
Lead mechanical/thermal program management activities for products, supporting the team’s efforts throughout the product lifecycle, including ideation, prototyping, validation, manufacturing, launch, and sustaining
Drive priorities to ensure mechanical, thermal, and electro‑mechanical parts achieve schedule/scope/budget targets, proactively elevate risks and obstacles
Work with a matrixed team of internal partners (engineering, operations, finance, etc.) and external partners (suppliers, CM/JDM/ODMs, etc.) to plan, develop, validate, and deliver mechanical/thermal/electro‑mechanical parts
Communicate mechanical/thermal product development status to internal & supplier/partner teams
Collaborate with the team by driving mechanical/thermal design reviews, tracking issues and their resolutions, and coordinating collateral/deliverables
Continuously improve product quality and development schedule by maintaining a high bar for mechanical/thermal execution and striving for new efficiencies
What We Need To See
BS degree or greater in an engineering field (or equivalent experience), mechanical focus preferred
6+ years of working experience, preferably in a hardware program management role
Hands‑on experience with hardware product development
Strong project/program management fundamentals
Culture of continuous learning, ongoing process improvement, and a first‑principles approach to problem‑solving
Experience in influencing decisions and leading teams in a matrix environment
Excellent communication and presentation abilities
Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd
5+ years in a mechanical or thermal program management role
Deep understanding of mechanical/thermal design processes
Proven understanding of mechanical manufacturing processes, including rapid prototyping, parts tooling, and working with CMs/JDMs/ODMs
Master’s degree in engineering or business discipline is a plus, not required
PM Certification/training is a plus, not required
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
Base salary range:
$160,000 USD - $253,000 USD.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
