At the heart of our data centers is the ability to engineer integrated system designs in close coupling to NVIDIA's industry-leading GPU products. We are seeking a Global Connectivity Distinguished Engineer to accelerate next-generation solutions.\nThe Global Connectivity Distinguished Engineer is responsible for working with industry partners to align the strategic design, deployment, and optimization of high-capacity pathways-terrestrial long-haul and subsea-that interconnect AI Factories. You will act as the bridge between physical fiber infrastructure and global-scale AI deployments.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nParticipate with partners on diverse long-haul terrestrial routes to ensure network resilience and high-capacity data flow between regional AI hubs.\n\nParticipate in subsea and terrestrial consortiums to enable capacity, efficiency, and optimize cost-per-bit for transit.\n\nWork with government relations to facilitate engagements by influencing market rules to support reliable and scalable fiber options to enable AI Factories\n\nConduct market and connectivity-systems analysis, providing economic modeling, risk assessment, and portfolio valuation to inform investment decisions.\n\nAdvance the transition from \"best-effort\" transport to ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) protocols.\n\nResponsible for navigating sophisticated international regulatory frameworks and ITU-T standards to identify constraints with cross-border data transfers.\n\nStrategically manage the 3-5 year timelines for carrier-neutral interconnection, working with government stakeholders.\n\nCoordinate AI interconnection needs with national data residency laws and security and encryption requirements\n\nLead commercial, regulatory, engineering, and analytical disciplines to implement a coordinated global fiber strategy.\n\nWhat we need to see:\nMinimum of 18+ years in a business leadership role within a Hyperscale Cloud Provider or a Tier-1 Global Carrier\n\nBachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering, or equivalent experience\n\nProven track record of leading large infrastructure projects such as transoceanic subsea systems or national-scale terrestrial fiber builds.\n\nDemonstrated experience designing interconnections for high-density GPU clusters with the unique backhaul requirements needed for AI training vs. inference.\n\nDeep understanding of Right-of-Way (ROW), subsea landing stations, and power-to-fiber ratios.\n\nDemonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and implement sophisticated commercial initiatives.\n\nProven track record of engaging with utility commissions, federal regulators, and grid operators.\n\nExperience with both new and established global fiber ecosystems\n\nSkilled in financial modeling, contracts, and risk evaluation for energy-related transactions.\n\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nDeep expertise in fiber-system economics, utility ratemaking, and energy markets.\n\nExperience negotiating agreements, evaluating collaborative right-of-way options, and supporting large-scale infrastructure planning.\n\nComfortable operating at the intersection of engineering, markets, and policy.\n\nYour base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 320,000 USD - 488,750 USD.You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.\nApplications for this job will be accepted at least until February 28, 2026.This posting is for an existing vacancy.\nNVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.\nNVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
