Technical Program Manager -Local AI Agents
About the role
What you'll be doing
- Own the coordinated roadmap from prototype through release for local AI agent capabilities, with clear scope, achievements, owners, dependencies, and completion criteria.
- Translate product goals and ecosystem signals into harmonized plans covering agent frameworks, MCP and tool connections, memory and skills, computer use, local inference, model routing, and application integration.
- Partner with engineering and research teams to define evaluation and release gates for task success, latency, efficiency, memory use, power, reliability, setup time, privacy, and user trust.
- Coordinate programs across Windows platform groups, GPU and driver groups, model and runtime groups, product security, developer relations, Microsoft, OEMs, ISVs, and open-source communities.
- Build concise dashboards and decision forums that surface program health, technical tradeoffs, risks, and evidence; communicate clearly with engineers and senior leaders.
- Use developer and customer feedback to improve onboarding, documentation, samples, compatibility, and adoption across supported NVIDIA systems.
What we need to see
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience in practice.
- 8+ years leading complex software, platform, systems, or AI/ML programs from concept through production release.
- Technical proficiency in contemporary AI software stacks, encompassing model prediction, agent coordination, tool application, evaluation, and local or hybrid deployment.
- Experience building coordinated plans across multiple engineering organizations and resolving technical dependencies without direct authority.
- Experience defining measurable quality and release criteria, using data to make tradeoffs, and separating prototypes from validated capabilities.
- Ability to explain architecture, risk, and program status clearly to technical teams, partners, and executives.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Hands-on experience with Python, C++, or software automation.
- Familiarity with OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain or similar agent frameworks; MCP; and persistent memory, skills, multi-agent, or computer-use patterns.
- Familiarity with local inference technologies such as TensorRT-LLM, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, or Windows ML, plus model optimization or quantization.
- Experience with Windows systems, CUDA or GPU acceleration, sandboxing, policy controls, privacy-aware networking, or secure credential handling.
- Experience collaborating with Microsoft, OEMs, ISVs, open-source maintainers, or domain-solution partners.
