Technical Program Manager – Networking NPI
Nscale — New York, New York, United States · Hybrid · Senior · $190k - $260k/yearly
Role description
Role Overview
We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead New Product Introduction (NPI) for networking across Nscale's US GPU cloud. You'll own the path from a new network platform, architecture, or vendor being selected to it being proven, documented, and ready to deploy at scale.
What You Will Do
Own the NPI program for new networking platforms, from vendor selection and early samples through lab qualification, pilot build, and release to Deployment. Drive qualification and validation of switches, NICs/DPUs, optics, cables, and network operating systems.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Every new generation of GPU cluster depends on network hardware that has never run at our scale before. This role makes sure each new platform is proven before it reaches a site, so Deployment can build it fast and right the first time.
Requirements
- 5+ years in technical program management, hardware NPI, or network engineering, with direct ownership of bringing new network hardware or architectures into production.
- Experience at a hyperscaler, major network or silicon vendor, or ODM/OEM (e.g. Microsoft, AWS, Meta, Google, Oracle/OCI, NVIDIA, Cisco, Arista, Broadcom), or a comparable large-scale environment.
- Hands-on familiarity with hardware qualification: lab validation, interop testing, firmware and NOS lifecycle, defect triage, and phase-gate NPI processes.
- Strong technical grounding in data center and cluster networking: Ethernet and InfiniBand fabrics, RoCE, BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, optics and transceivers, and structured cabling.
- Proven ability to drive vendors and cross-functional engineering teams to decisions when designs, schedules, and supply are still moving.
- Comfortable working in ambiguity, defining process where none exists, and making clear calls on readiness.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting technical trade-offs to senior leadership.
- Willingness to travel to vendor labs and pilot sites as needed.
