Senior QA Software Engineer, Networking

At NVIDIA's R&D center, we are seeking a Senior QA Software Engineer to join the System Ethernet QA Team. As part of this role, you will be responsible for testing and qualifying virtual networking silicon (SimX) and software.

You will collaborate closely with R&D to lead the quality of new features from design to deployment. Your tasks will include:

• Reviewing architectural designs and requirements for new features
• Driving the design, development, and execution of tests across functional, performance, and security scopes
• Developing Python automation suites built on clean OOP principles
• Chasing down defects and validating fixes until fully resolved
• Leveraging the SimX platform to validate code and debug the ASIC long before hardware arrives

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• Combined network engineering depth with thorough software habits
• 5+ years of hands-on QA or networking experience, backed by CCNP-equivalent protocol knowledge: L2 (VLAN, STP), L3 (BGP, OSPF), EVPN, VXLAN, and advanced features like PFC, ECN, RoCE, and QoS
• Production-quality Python engineering, specifically strong OOP design and hands-on experience with Pytest
• Deep Linux proficiency (at an LPIC-1 or LPIC-2 level) to navigate system internals, analyze logs, and debug effectively
• Clear verbal and written communication, with professional proficiency in written and spoken English
• B.Sc. or B.A. or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a similar background

Experience with Docker, traffic generation tools (Ixia, TRex, Scapy), and hands-on experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI) would be advantageous.
