Job description

NVIDIA's Datacenter Networking Business is expanding quickly! We are looking for a Director-level Product Manager who has strong technical knowledge in optical interconnects, silicon photonics, and co-packaged optics (CPO). This role involves leading global product management and strategy for next-generation optical interconnect solutions. It is a senior leadership position with worldwide responsibility for crafting NVIDIA's networking portfolio.
In this product management leadership role, you will compose the long-term strategy and guide the lifecycle of advanced optical interconnect hardware and silicon platforms. You will work closely with architecture, ASIC, systems, software, and go-to-market teams globally. Positioned at the meeting of AI infrastructure, high-performance networking, and cloud-scale datacenter innovation. You will influence NVIDIA's next-generation networking technologies and contribute to developing the future of accelerated computing!
What you'll be doing:
  • Guide strategic direction and product vision for NVIDIA's Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) hardware and silicon platforms, managing product planning, implementation, lifecycle management, and technology transitions.
  • Define product requirements and roadmaps for next-generation optical interconnects, ASICs, systems, and platforms in partnership with engineering, architecture, and important ecosystem collaborators.
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration among hardware, silicon, firmware, software, operations, and business groups to provide 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.
  • Present the product strategy to executive leadership, customers, and industry partners, guiding the progression 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 silicon photonics development or technical support roles within the networking industry, with deep technical proficiency.
  • Deep knowledge of silicon photonics, process technologies and packaging, including modulator technologies, lasers, and the underlying silicon process technologies that power modern optical interconnects.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of data center hardware, rack-level construction, and physical infrastructure is required. This encompasses server, networking, power, cooling, and cabling elements that determine how AI and cloud fabrics are deployed extensively.
  • 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:
  • Engineering experience in silicon photonics, lasers, and CPO.
  • Hands-on exposure to silicon photonics, optical transceivers, and laser platforms.
  • Experience with product management, product marketing, customer interface and customer support.
  • Demonstrated success launching and scaling highly technical infrastructure products globally.
  • Passion for technology, innovation, and solving complex networking challenges.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 216,000 USD - 345,000 USD.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until August 15, 2026.
