## Summary

Crusoe seeks a highly experienced technical program manager to own the end-to-end introduction of NVIDIA's next-generation Vera Rubin GPU across their infrastructure stack. This role demands someone who has shaped NPI programs at hyperscale, understands GPU architecture at the generation level, and can drive cross-organizational alignment on a complex program running parallel to active production deployments.

_Our summary, not Crusoe's wording._

## Required

- 12+ years as Technical Program Manager owning NPI programs end-to-end at a hyperscaler or AI infrastructure company
- Generation-level GPU architecture fluency including networking topology and storage implications
- Deep software/firmware lifecycle knowledge including BIOS, BMC, GPU firmware, and driver stacks
- Direct hardware partner engagement with NVIDIA or OEMs on certification and validation timelines
- Portfolio-level ownership managing compounding dependencies across parallel NPI and production programs
- Track record of defining NPI engagement models from scratch, not just operating within existing frameworks
- Cross-organizational alignment capability at VP/SVP level without formal authority
- Exceptional written and verbal communication for executive stakeholders

## Nice to have

- Direct Vera Rubin program experience from a hyperscaler with earlier hardware access
- Experience defining or substantially redesigning an NPI commissioning gate framework (G0–G6 or equivalent)
- Exposure to generation-level architectural transitions affecting both IaaS and Managed Services simultaneously
- Experience coaching or developing Staff-level TPMs in technical depth and program execution
