Hardware Program Manager – HW Fulfillment and R&D Procurement
NVIDIA is looking for a Hardware Program Manager with technical expertise to join our HW R&D organization, focusing on Hardware Fulfillment, HW Component Orders, and Prototyping Operations for our advanced Network products. In this role, you will lead and manage the end-to-end hardware ordering and procurement lifecycle—from initial engineering requests through board build, assembly, and lab delivery. You will serve as the primary bridge between HW R&D development teams, procurement, and operations, ensuring that development boards, silicon samples, and network hardware arrive on time to meet strict R&D execution schedules. NVIDIA is a leading supplier of innovative end-to-end InfiniBand and Ethernet connectivity solutions. Our products optimize data center performance and deliver industry-leading bandwidth and scalability across HPC, Cloud, AI, and enterprise data centers.
What You'll Be Doing:
Drive HW Procurement & Delivery: Act as the focal point for all hardware orders, board assemblies, and silicon sampling required by HW R&D engineering teams.
Interface with R&D Teams: Work closely with HW design engineers, system architects, and lab managers to translate technical requirements into structured hardware purchasing and build plans.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate between R&D, Operations, Global Procurement, Supply Chain, and external vendors/CMs to clear bottlenecks and accelerate prototype delivery.
Schedule & Fulfillment Tracking: Track board builds, component lead times, and hardware allocations across multiple R&D projects to ensure alignment with corporate milestones.
Methodologies & Tools: Develop, implement, and refine HW ordering processes, tracking tools, and inventory/fulfillment methodologies tailored for fast-paced R&D environments.
What We Need to See:
Education: B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience: 2-4 years of experience in HW Program Management, Operations Program Management (OPM), or HW Procurement/NPI within R&D organizations.
Technical & Process Expertise: Strong understanding of HW development cycles, board build processes (PCB/PCBA), component lead times, and fulfillment workflows.
Leadership & Execution: Proven ability to manage cross-functional syncs, drive tasks independently, and solve complex supply/ordering bottlenecks under tight deadlines.
Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Personal Attributes: Strong team player, highly organized, capable of multitasking in a dynamic R&D environment, with excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
Hands-on experience in HW design, board layout, or electronic component engineering.
Background in NPI (New Product Introduction) or direct management of prototype assembly with Contract Manufacturers (CMs).
Deep familiarity with PLM/ERP tools (e.g., Agile, SAP) and custom tracking dashboards for hardware fulfillment.
