Network Solution Verification Manager

We are seeking a Network Solution Verification Manager to join our R&D organization, leading the validation of NVIDIA's customer-facing networking solutions at scale using a state-of-the-art End-to-End (E2E) simulation cluster environment.

In this role, you will build and lead a team of validation engineers, owning the strategy, methodology, and execution of simulation-based validation frameworks that ensure NVIDIA's networking solutions meet the highest standards of quality, scale, and real-world applicability before reaching customers.

Responsibilities

• Leading and managing a team of network validation engineers responsible for end-to-end validation of NVIDIA's customer-facing networking solutions at scale, using a dedicated E2E simulation cluster environment.
• Defining the overall validation strategy and roadmap , establishing simulation methodologies, test coverage frameworks, and quality gates that align with product milestones and customer use cases.
• Pioneering the use of agentic AI flows within the validation organization , leading the team to design, build, and operate AI-driven agents capable of autonomously performing regression analysis, identifying coverage gaps, generating new test cases, and implementing validation code.
• Overseeing the design and continuous improvement of automated regression suites for networking protocols and large-scale simulation runs, ensuring scalable, repeatable, and high-confidence validation outcomes.
• Establishing a rigorous regression analysis culture , guiding the team in identifying trends, root causes, and systemic coverage gaps, and ensuring timely resolution in collaboration with engineering stakeholders.
• Serving as the primary validation partner to Design, Architecture, and NCS teams , translating solution requirements into simulation scenarios, providing early-cycle quality feedback, and influencing product direction.
• Analyzing customer-reported networking solution issues, driving test gap analysis, and ensuring robust regression coverage that prevents recurrence.
• Staying current with emerging networking standards, simulation technologies, and industry best practices to continuously evolve the team's validation capabilities.

Requirements

• B.Sc. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in a leadership or management role, leading software or hardware validation/test engineering teams.
• 7+ years of overall experience in network validation, network testing, or systems verification.
• Proven track record of building and executing test automation strategies for network or distributed systems at scale, with hands-on background in Python-based automation.
• Strong understanding of regression analysis methodologies , ability to drive actionable conclusions from large-scale test result datasets and translate them into engineering improvements.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally with architecture, design, and product teams in a fast-paced, multi-timezone environment.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting validation strategies and quality metrics to senior leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep understanding of networking protocols and architectures (e.g., BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, RDMA/RoCE, Ethernet, IP routing, L2/L3 switching).
• Experience with network simulation or emulation environments (e.g., Containerlab, GNS3, SONiC testbeds, or equivalent platforms) and the ability to guide teams in leveraging them effectively.
• Experience managing validation of data center networking solutions or hyperscale network environments (spine-leaf, fat-tree, or Clos topologies).
• Familiarity with NVIDIA networking products , BlueField DPUs, ConnectX NICs, Spectrum switches, or the DOCA software stack.
• Prior experience with customer-facing solution validation or translating customer use cases into structured simulation and test scenarios.
