Lead Systems Software Test Engineer – CSP Engagements

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Systems Software test (lead) Engineer to join our Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Engagements team, focusing on ML software stack validation for Datacenter products such as GB200 and Vera Rubin.

You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, validating stable and performant technical solutions from concept through deployment. Your responsibilities will include:

• Defining test strategy and test validation plans for CSP integration milestones, partnering with hyperscalers to understand their test methodology, identifying gaps, and providing NVIDIA recommendations.
• Reproducing, characterizing, and triaging customer bugs in the customer environment, reviewing internal test plans, test results, and publishing summary test reports for each release for the rack-scale product during NPI phases.
• Validating fixes, mitigations, and release updates against deployed CSP software modules and known-good partner configurations.
• Partnering with NVIDIA development teams to drive root-cause analysis and confirm release readiness with clear pass/fail evidence.
• Collaborating with CSP teams on provisioning, access, break-fix workflows, and environment readiness, producing concise release-readiness summaries for internal stakeholders and partner-facing engineering reviews.
• Managing large datasets of testing output and developing tooling for efficient retrieval of debug data, visualization, and reporting.
• Working with customers to localize problems using targeted reproduction steps by enabling stress and edge-case testing to assist development teams.
• Running performance benchmarks for both training and inference, collaborating with AE, FAE, and Solution Architect teams on validation for customer issues and technical documentation, and replicating reported problems in the local lab.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

• Experience in validation, QA, system test, diagnostics, platform bring-up, or release qualification for complex hardware-software systems.
• Strong understanding of server platforms, firmware, drivers, OS integration, networking, and large-scale cluster environments.
• Hands-on experience debugging issues across hardware, firmware, software, networking, and infrastructure layers.
• Ability to analyze logs, telemetry, diagnostic outputs, automation failures, and system health signals.
• Familiarity with Linux environments, shell scripting, Python or similar automation, and CI/regression workflows.
• Experience creating test plans, regression suites, validation reports, and defect documentation.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills with QA, development, field, support, and customer engineering teams.
• Proficiency in Python with a strong background in test automation and test infrastructure design.
• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of system software validation experience.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
