Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Own end-to-end software and firmware readiness and GA release process for DGX platforms, delivering firmware bundles, BaseOS ISOs, and release documentation.
• Lead platform firmware development (BMC, BIOS) and integrate partner firmware at system level.
• Define and execute validation strategy: firmware regression, NVQual certification, DL workload performance, OS/CUDA testing, multi-user scenarios, power/thermal validation, and field upgrade reliability.
• Drive platform bring-up and architecture for new DGX systems, including update mechanisms and system security posture.
• Ensure firmware release flows meet cloud service provider and enterprise deployment requirements; represent platform readiness in executive reviews.
• Manage external vendors and own quality gates, RCCA processes, and program tracking for firmware components.
• Build and lead an engineering organization; mentor leaders and establish technical discipline.

• Deep expertise in server system stack: SBIOS, BMC, OS, drivers, applications, and system-level integration.
• Proven track record delivering multi-generation server or data-center platforms from architecture through customer deployment.
• Strong understanding of server hardware: CPU, GPU, interconnect, memory, PCIe, and power delivery.
• Experience owning end-to-end product quality, full-stack validation, and field deployment.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with NVIDIA DGX or GPU-accelerated server platforms and server bring-up for new silicon.
• Familiarity with DMTF Redfish, OCP standards, and server manageability ecosystems.
• Experience validating AI/DL workloads and optimizing platform performance; demonstrated ability to influence at VP/SVP level.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
