Documentation Technical Program Manager

NVIDIA is seeking a DriveOS Documentation Program Manager with a passion for technical documentation and a strong focus on the developer experience. You will own the overall documentation strategy and experience, ensuring DriveOS documentation is consistent, unified, and organized around customer needs. Working closely with product, engineering, technical writing, safety, security, QA, publishing, and customer-facing teams, you will define priorities, drive deliverables, track execution status, and ensure accurate, usable documentation reaches developers at each release.

Do you care deeply about helping developers understand and use complex software? Do you notice when documentation is fragmented, terminology is inconsistent, or users struggle to find their next step? This role offers the opportunity to shape a unified DriveOS documentation experience while bringing writers, engineers, and reviewers together to deliver it. You will shape the documentation portfolio across Linux, QNX, and other Automotive variants, connecting content into a coherent developer experience while accounting for different product capabilities, review requirements, and delivery paths. You will also lead documentation planning and execution throughout the release lifecycle. Working across product, program, engineering, technical writing, QA, and customer facing teams, you will keep the artifact plan, source data, approvals, and published outputs aligned. You will drive work from release plan of record through content freeze, release candidates, delivery, and post-release closure, while making decisions and risks visible.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Own the DriveOS documentation strategy and information architecture. Establish shared content standards, terminology, and organization across teams and product variants, and drive closure of gaps, duplication, and inconsistencies.
• Define documentation journeys for specific customer types and segments. Create navigation maps that connect guides, API references, release notes, and migration information, helping developers find the right content from initial evaluation through development and deployment.
• Plan and drive documentation delivery across DriveOS releases and product variants, aligning scope, owners, milestones, dependencies, customer commitments, and delivery paths.
• Lead cross-functional execution with writers, engineers, and reviewers; track status, resolve blockers, and manage documentation reviews, approvals, defect closure, and release exceptions.
• Coordinate publication and release communications, ensuring approved documentation is correctly versioned, mapped to supported variants, and available through the right internal and external channels. Follow through on late deliverables.
• Gather feedback from developers and customer-facing teams, assess how easily users find information and complete key tasks, and prioritize documentation improvements with content owners.
• Improve dashboards, issue tracking, handoff guides, and automation by defining data and workflow requirements with the teams that own the tools.
• Use AI and large language models (LLMs) to propose documentation journeys and navigation maps, identify content gaps and inconsistencies, and support consistent terminology and structure. Validate proposed changes with technical writers and subject matter experts before publication.

What We Need To See:

• 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical or related field, or equivalent experience.
• A strong commitment to technical documentation, demonstrated through hands-on improvements to clarity, consistency, and usability, informed by developer feedback and quality signals.
• Experience organizing developer documentation, defining journeys for different customer types and segments, and designing effective navigation.
• Strong program management skills, including planning, prioritization, dependency management, risk escalation, and driving complex programs across multiple teams.
• Familiarity with documentation workflows from content development and review through release and maintenance, including Git/GitLab collaboration, build and publication processes, and CI/CD concepts.
• Experience with automotive, embedded software, or similarly complex platform products.
• Clear written and verbal communication, sound judgment, and the ability to align technical writers, engineering, product, QA, and customer-facing teams.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Experience coordinating automotive safety and cybersecurity deliverables and their review processes, including ISO 26262 or ISO 21434 contexts.
• Familiarity with API/ABI documentation, functional or performance test reports, and third-party license reporting.
• Practical experience using AI/LLMs to map documentation journeys, identify gaps and inconsistencies across documents, or improve content organization, with a clear approach to validating results. Experience with scripting, workflow automation, dashboards, or data validation is also valuable.
• Experience with Gitlab, Sphinx, reStructuredText, Doxygen, DITA, or related technical documentation toolchains.

At NVIDIA, clear, connected documentation helps developers evaluate, integrate, and deploy complex Automotive software. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about that experience, takes ownership of documentation quality and usability, and brings the program management discipline to deliver it consistently.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary range for this position is 168,000 USD – 258,750 USD.Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 14, 2026.
