Role Overview

Nscale is seeking a Principal Technical Product Manager to help define and deliver the next generation of hardware infrastructure powering large-scale AI workloads.

You will help own Nscale's GPU and compute hardware portfolio, from long-range technology roadmaps and customer requirements through product definition, NPI, deployment, and lifecycle management. You will also bring a customer-focused perspective to the internal software and tooling we build to automate infrastructure deployment, ensuring our solutions meet the needs of the engineers and operators who use them.

This role requires strong technical judgment, business acumen, and the ability to make complex hardware and infrastructure decisions. You will evaluate trade-offs across performance, cost, reliability, and scalability, working with engineering teams, customers, and strategic partners to define and deliver competitive infrastructure products.

We are looking for someone who can operate across the entire problem: understand emerging hardware, engage deeply with engineers and customers, build a TCO model, develop a roadmap, create a compelling executive presentation, make a recommendation, and drive the organization to a decision.

Key Responsibilities

Hardware Product Strategy & Delivery

• Define and drive multi-generation GPU and compute hardware roadmaps, evaluating emerging technologies, customer requirements, market trends, and infrastructure economics.
• Own hardware product definition, including requirements, reference architectures, configurations, performance targets, and lifecycle strategy.
• Partner with engineering, supply chain, OEMs, ODMs, and technology partners through NPI, qualification, production readiness, and deployment.
• Drive strategic decisions on platform architecture, component selection, standardization, supplier strategy, and OEM-to-ODM evolution.
• Ensure hardware requirements, BOMs, acceptance criteria, and deployment readiness are clearly defined and communicated across teams.

Customer & Strategic Partner Leadership

• Engage directly with sophisticated AI customers to understand workloads, technical requirements, performance priorities, and future infrastructure needs.
• Build trusted relationships with strategic technology partners, including silicon providers, OEMs, and ODMs, aligning roadmaps, technical requirements, and joint development priorities.
• Lead executive and technical discussions with customers and partners, communicating strategy, trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly.
