Senior Software Engineer – Networking Platforms, Diagnostics Tools and Performance

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced engineer to join our NVIDIA Networking Diagnostics team. This person must have hands-on technical expertise to develop critical diagnostic tools for our newest, world-leading networking platforms. This position offers the opportunity to have a real impact in a technology-focused company, impacting data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters across the world.

Responsibilities

• Design & Implement: Architect and develop high-performance diagnostic tools and frameworks using Python, tailored for NVIDIA's latest networking platforms.
• Performance Optimization: Drive end-to-end development focusing on software that performs efficiently, ensuring diagnostic suites can handle high-throughput data and real-time monitoring without latency.
• System Diagnostics: Take charge of developing features that bridge the gap between complex hardware behaviors and software-level diagnostics.
• Collaborative Problem Solving: Partner with hardware, firmware, and driver teams to address real-world challenges that demand innovative solutions and a customer-centric approach.
• Autonomous Execution: Own the full software development lifecycle of diagnostic features, from initial hardware specification to deployment in dynamic environments.

Requirements

• B.Sc or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in the software development lifecycle, with a proven track record in performance-critical systems.
• Python Mastery: Advanced programming skills in Python, with a focus on writing optimized, efficient, and scalable code for hardware interfacing.
• Networking & HW Background: Solid understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, InfiniBand, or Ethernet) and hardware-level interaction.
• Linux Expertise: Strong familiarity with Linux environments, associated debugging tools, and system-level performance tuning.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills.

Nice to Have

• Performance Tooling: Experience with performance profiling, optimization, and low-level hardware communication (e.g., PCIe, I2C).
• Low-Level Knowledge: Background in C/C++, RT embedded development, or driver development within a Linux environment.
• Technical Leadership: Experience leading technical projects or mentoring team members in a dynamic setting.
• Problem Solving: Confirmed experience in root-causing complex system-level issues and solving customer-facing hardware challenges.
