Principal Software Engineer, Rack-Scale System Software — CSP Engagements

We are seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join our CSP Engagements team as the technical focal point for rack-scale system SW/FW. You will collaborate with NVIDIA's cross-functional rack-scale system SW/FW engineering teams and CSP engineering teams to ensure reliable deployment, monitoring, and operation of these systems at fleet scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive rack-scale SW/FW architecture alignment across CSP engagements, including fabric management software, link health monitoring, and error handling and recovery
• Drive technical work streams with CSP engineering teams on rack-scale system software, ensuring they understand fabric management, NVSwitch behavior, and error handling and recovery policies
• Capture and synthesize CSP engineering feedback on rack-scale system software and champion that feedback into NVIDIA's architecture decisions
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to ensure customer operational requirements are reflected in system software and firmware development
• Identify cross-CSP patterns in rack-scale SW/FW issues and drive documentation, tooling, and test strategy improvements

Requirements:

• 15+ years of experience in system software, platform firmware, or large-scale distributed systems engineering
• Deep understanding of rack-scale system software challenges, including multi-component coordination, error propagation, and health monitoring
• Experience with fabric management software, cluster management, or system-level orchestration frameworks
• Understanding of error handling and recovery design patterns in distributed systems
• Experience with health monitoring and telemetry systems

Nice to Have:

• Experience with NVIDIA NVSwitch, NVOS, or GPU fabric management software
• Background in system software for large-scale clusters at a hyperscaler
• Experience crafting error handling and recovery frameworks for multi-component systems
• Familiarity with GPU or accelerator fleet operations
