What You'll Be Doing:

• Manage and mentor a team of Developer Relations Managers to cover AI for science (life sciences, physics, robotics, quantum, climate). Set direction, remove blockers, and build a high-trust, high-performance team.

• Architect a comprehensive researcher engagement strategy across academic labs, research consortia. Translate NVIDIA's platform roadmap into research-relevant opportunities and ensure NVIDIA remains the platform of choice for frontier research.

• Establish positive relationships with PIs, lab directors, research computing leads, and institutional decision-makers. Understand technical needs and institutional dynamics that shape research priorities.

• Champion NVIDIA's full research platform, from CUDA libraries to NeMo, BioNeMo, PhysicsNeMo, Earth-2, Omniverse, RAPIDS etc. Helping researchers unlock platform value across both AI model development and scientific discovery workloads.

• Develop NVIDIA's presence at major AI and scientific research venues, such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, SC, domain scientific conferences, and drive university engagements, workshops, and lab-facing programs.

• PhD in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, Computational Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

• 12+ overall years of industry and research experience, including 4+ years managing teams in developer relations, research engagement, or technical partnerships.

• Deep technical proficiency across both foundational AI (LLMs, training, post-training, inference) and AI for science (domain AI applications, scientific computing, simulation).

• Proven track record to engage senior research stakeholders with credibility and strategic intent.

• Strong track record of driving platform adoption through technical enablement, community programs, and cross-functional collaboration in a matrixed environment.

Ways to Stand Out from the crowd:

• Research Credibility: Publications, open-source contributions, or direct experience working on leading AI systems or scientific solutions based on AI.

• Platform Depth:Hands-on experience with NVIDIA technologies including CUDA, TensorRT-LLM, Dynamo, NeMo, BioNeMo, PhysicsNeMo, Earth-2, Omniverse, RAPIDS, NIM, or GPU-accelerated computing systems.

• Research ecosystem network: Established relationships with leading academic labs, research consortia and major open-source research communities.

• Scientific Domain Expertise: Depth in one or more priority verticals, such as physics, bioscience, quantum computing etc, with the breadth to engage across domains.
