For two decades, NVIDIA has pioneered visual computing, the art and science of computer graphics. With our invention of the GPU - the engine of modern visual computing - the field has expanded to encompass personal computer games, movie production, product design, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Today, visual computing is becoming increasingly central to how people harmonize with technology, and there has never been a more exciting time to join our excellent team. NVIDIA is now passionate about innovation at the intersection of visual processing, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence.
Our data centers, and the thousands of servers installed in them, are the foundation upon which our creative products and services are delivered. As we bring new large-scale AI data center builds online, we are looking for a highly motivated Deployment Manager to own the labor, logistics, and resources required to physically bootstrap our DSX builds, from equipment receipt to rack-ready hand-off. Deep and broad knowledge of large-scale data center deployments in a distributed, multi-vendor environment is a strength you’ll need.
What you will be doing:
- Build and lead a world-class deployment team made up of internal technicians and vendor labor. The team is responsible for receiving, staging, rack placement, and power and network connection at scale.
- Establish NVIDIA’s deployment approach for phased DSX builds. Anticipate labor, loading dock, storage, and scheduling constraints before they occur and implement solutions to address them.
- Work with Data Center Operations, engineering, receiving, production owner, and vendor partners to establish a clear deployment and hand-off model through to the pre-cluster stage.
- Develop staffing plans, metrics, dashboards, KPIs, and reporting tools to measure deployment throughput and develop strategies for continuous optimization.
- Establish strong business relationships with internal and external partners, including general contractors and vendors. Break down functional silos to foster a transparent and collaborative business unit.
- Facilitate key meetings and other communication instruments to align executive and senior leadership on deployment status, build schedules, and key cross-functional dependencies.
- Identify, track, and prioritize key schedule, labor, and supply risks. Develop mitigation strategies to counter risks. Establish repeatable processes and runbooks, including decommissioning and site restoration, so lessons from early builds scale to future DSX sites.
What we need to see:
- Positive, high-energy attitude
- BS, BA, or BEng degree in technical field (or equivalent experience). Master’s degree preferred
- 10+ overall years of relevant experience across data center deployment, construction, operations, hardware, and networking, including people management
- 4+ years leading distributed and diverse teams, including contractor and vendor labor
- Tolerance for ambiguity, flexibility, and a willingness to implement ideas from others
- Ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs through shifting priorities and compressed schedules
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, along with quantitative, organizational, and analytical skills
- Ability to share concise conclusions, and then provide supporting analysis as needed Enjoys finding solutions to problems by being passionate, creative and tech savvy
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- A demonstrated drive to get things done in a fast-paced technology environment and attention to detail with superb interpersonal skills and the ability to effectively manage multiple priorities.
- Deep understanding of data center power, air and liquid cooling, network, and cabling infrastructure, ideally with experience deploying high-density GPU racks at scale.
- Experience with NetBox, CMMS, SNOW, Inventory Management, and project scheduling tools.
- You’re a self-starter with a mindset for growth, continuous learning, and constantly looking to improve the team. Self-motivated, high EQ, can work with anyone from SVP to field engineer to contractor, along with a positive attitude, strategic outlook, and strong powers of persuasion and negotiation.

Tips for Your Factory Manager Job Search
Quantify output improvements on your resume
Factory managers are hired on results, so your resume needs hard evidence. Replace vague claims with specific production metrics: throughput gains, downtime reductions, scrap rate improvements, or safety record milestones. Hiring managers read dozens of resumes that say 'improved efficiency' and remember none of them.
List your certifications above your job titles
Many factory manager postings filter early on credentials like Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, TPM, or ISO 9001 auditor certification. If you hold any of these, put them in a dedicated section near the top of your resume so recruiters spot them before they read your work history.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists factory manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor applications to production environment type
A job posting for a food-grade facility and one for a CNC machining shop require different emphases even though both say 'factory manager.' Read the posting for clues about the production system, then mirror that language in your resume and cover letter to signal direct-fit experience.
Prepare for the operations case interview
Many manufacturers use a scenario-based round where you're handed a production problem and walked through your diagnostic process. Practice talking through how you'd identify a bottleneck, prioritize corrective action, and communicate downward to your shift leads and upward to plant leadership.
Negotiate start date around transition risk
If you're currently overseeing an active production line or a scheduled shutdown, name that in the offer conversation. Most manufacturing employers understand operational handoff constraints and will adjust a start date rather than lose a qualified candidate to a rushed exit.
Factory Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most factory managers?
The most active employers for factory managers right now are NVIDIA, Anduril, and Blue Origin, and the most openings are in California, Texas, and Michigan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be strongest in food processing, automotive parts, and consumer packaged goods manufacturing.
How many factory manager jobs are remote?
About 65% of factory manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most of the role requires physical presence on the production floor. The sub-areas most likely to allow some remote flexibility are administrative planning tasks, vendor coordination, and corporate multi-site roles that oversee plant performance without day-to-day floor responsibility.
How do you become a factory manager?
Most factory managers start in a frontline production or technician role, move into a shift lead or supervisor position, and build toward a manager title by demonstrating the ability to hit output targets, develop direct reports, and manage safety and compliance. A degree in engineering or operations helps, but consistent results at each prior level carry more weight than credentials alone in most manufacturing hiring decisions.
Can you get hired as a factory manager with limited management experience?
Yes, especially if your frontline experience includes informal leadership like training new hires, running a shift in a supervisor's absence, or leading a continuous improvement project. Frame that experience explicitly on your resume as evidence of leadership, rather than leaving it implicit in your job title. Smaller manufacturers and newer facilities are more likely to promote on potential when formal titles haven't caught up yet.
What does the factory manager interview process look like?
The typical process starts with a phone or video screen focused on your operations background, followed by an in-person visit that almost always includes a floor walk where you're expected to ask informed questions about the production setup. A final round often involves a panel with HR, the plant director, and sometimes a finance or supply chain lead who wants to understand how you manage cost and throughput together.
Where can I find and apply to factory manager jobs?
You can find and apply to factory manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your industry background and production environment, then apply directly to each listing that fits your experience level and location.
