Manager, Distinguished Engineer - DGX Systems Software

<p>NVIDIA DGX systems are the foundation of the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure—purpose-built servers, workstations, and personal AI computers that bring together GPUs, CPUs, NVLink, NVIDIA Networking, and a fully optimized AI software stack.</p><p></p><p>We are seeking an engineering leader responsible for end-to-end delivery of every DGX compute system—from firmware through the AI stack to customer deployment. You will ensure each DGX product ships as a production-ready system where firmware, OS, drivers, CUDA, networking, and AI applications work together seamlessly, while driving architecture and roadmap for next-generation platforms.</p><p></p><p><b>What you’ll be doing:</b></p><ul><li><p>End-to-End Stack Readiness: Ensure every DGX platform is ready for the full NVIDIA software stack—firmware, DGX OS, GPU drivers, CUDA toolkit, DCGM, DOCA/OFED, and management tools—as a validated, production-quality product. Own the GA SW/FW release process delivering firmware bundles, BaseOS ISOs, and release notes to OEM/OSV partners. Ensure platforms support AI agents like NemoClaw, Hermes agents, NIM microservices, and workloads customers expect out of the box.</p></li><li><p>Platform Firmware Development: Lead development of the manageability firmware stack (BMC, BIOS) for all DGX platforms. Ensure firmware from partner teams (GPU, CPU, networking) integrates correctly at system level. Manage 3rd-party vendors and drive platform requirements (NVPOR) across all firmware areas.</p></li><li><p>Validation Strategy: Define validation strategy proving each DGX platform is production-ready: end-to-end system validation including firmware regression, NVQual certification, DL workload performance, OS/CUDA stack testing, multi-user scenarios, power/thermal validation, and field upgrade reliability. Establish quality gates and zero ship-stopper discipline.</p></li><li><p>Platform Bring-Up &amp; Architecture: Drive platform bring-up for each new DGX system—coordinating first boot across new silicon (CPU, GPU), board design, and firmware teams. Own architectural strategy for next-generation platforms including firmware update mechanisms, system security posture, and AI application readiness.</p></li><li><p>Customer Deployment &amp; Enablement: Ensure firmware release flows meet CSP and enterprise deployment requirements. Represent DGX platform readiness in executive reviews and strategic planning with VP/SVP leadership. Engage with industry standards bodies (DMTF Redfish, OCP).</p></li><li><p>Product Delivery Lifecycle: Own the complete DGX delivery lifecycle—system architecture, firmware development, integration, full-stack validation, GA release, and customer deployment—for every DGX product.</p></li><li><p>Cross-Org Alignment: Serve as single point of accountability for DGX platform readiness across NVIDIA—aligning GPU, CPU, networking, security, OS, and AI software teams to deliver on schedule.</p></li><li><p>Quality &amp; Vendor Management: Own RCCA processes for field issues. Manage external vendor partnerships (AMI for SBIOS, BMC contributors) with clear quality gates and program tracking.</p></li><li><p>Team Leadership: Build and lead a world-class engineering organization. Mentor and develop leaders. Foster a culture of technical excellence, intellectual honesty, and customer obsession.</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>What we need to see:</b></p><ul><li><p>BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field or equivalent experience.</p></li><li><p>12+ overall years in systems firmware/software engineering, with 5+ years in engineering leadership.</p></li><li><p>Deep expertise in server system stack including SBIOS, BMC, OS, applications and system-level integration of complex multi-component products.</p></li><li><p>Proven track record delivering multi-generation server or data center platforms from architecture through customer deployment.</p></li><li><p>Experience managing engineering organizations across multiple geographies in a matrix environment.</p></li><li><p>Strong understanding of server hardware: CPU, GPU, interconnect, memory, PCIe, power delivery.</p></li><li><p>Experience owning end-to-end product quality—from firmware validation through full-stack system testing to field deployment.</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>Ways to stand out from the crowd:</b></p><ul><li><p>Experience with NVIDIA DGX, or GPU-accelerated server platforms.Track record driving server bring-up for new silicon and system architecture redesigns.</p></li><li><p>Familiarity with DMTF Redfish, OCP standards, and server manageability ecosystems.</p></li><li><p>Experience with AI/DL workload validation and performance optimization at the platform level.Demonstrated ability to operate at VP/SVP level, influencing cross-BU strategic decisions.</p></li></ul><p></p><p>NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people on the
