Inside The Product

Summary

NVIDIA is scaling both AI software and large-scale AI/HPC hardware delivery: job postings emphasize AI training/post‑training frameworks, developer tools, and deployment of GPU/HPC infrastructure alongside manufacturing, test, and verification for datacenter products. Roles span product strategy, developer relations, supply chain/production planning, and extensive hardware/software verification to support rapid engineering growth and productization.

What They Build

  • AI frameworks and post‑training/RL libraries (GitHub‑first developer products for researchers and production model builders)
  • Distributed training and optimization software for large‑scale model training and inference
  • AI/HPC infrastructure and GPU cluster deployment and networking (InfiniBand/Ethernet) for datacenter customers
  • Silicon/IP design and verification (PCIe, interconnects) and firmware performance testing for new architectures
  • Manufacturing test solutions, production planning, and supply allocation across contract manufacturers and sites
  • Developer and partner programs (ISV engagement, startup Inception) to drive adoption and integrations

Customers & Users

  • Research teams and production model builders
  • Independent software vendors (ISVs) and developer ecosystem
  • Datacenter and HPC customers/operators
  • Contract manufacturers, ODMs/CMs, and internal manufacturing stakeholders
  • Startups in AI/compute ecosystems (NVIDIA Inception)
  • Automotive engineering and safety teams requiring traceability/compliance

Workflows & Systems

  • Product strategy and roadmap development for open‑source, GitHub‑first AI developer products with deep customer engagement
  • Master production scheduling, SAP PO and supply‑order management, WIP re‑prioritization, and raw material allocation across sites
  • Design, deploy, and maintain automated performance regression cycles and test infrastructure for firmware and system performance
  • Define and deploy manufacturing test fixtures, rack‑level testers, and site test capacity at CMs/ODMs for datacenter products
  • ASIC/IP verification workflows using UVM, constrained‑random/coverage‑driven methodologies and reusable bus models
  • Deploy and optimize AI/HPC clusters with automation tooling (Ansible/Salt/etc.), networking tuning, and Linux systems administration
  • Traceability, compliance, and release workflows aligned to ASPICE/ISO 26262 using ALM/PLM tools (Jama/DOORS/Jira)
