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.

This role combines deep technical expertise from cluster to rack scale full-stack validation with customer-facing responsibilities, enabling cloud service providers with next-generation high-performance training and inference platforms.

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

What you will be doing:

• Define test strategy and test validation plans for CSP integration milestones, partner with hyper scalars to understand their test methodology, identify gaps and provide NVIDIA recommendations.
• Reproduce, characterize, and triage customer bugs in the customer environment. Review internal test plans, test results, and publish summary test report for each release for the rack scale product during NPI phases.
• Validate fixes, mitigations, and release updates against deployed CSP software modules and known-good partner configurations.
• Partner with NVIDIA development teams to drive root-cause analysis and confirm release readiness with clear pass/fail evidence
• Collaborate with CSP teams on provisioning, access, break-fix workflows, and environment readiness. Produce concise release-readiness summaries for internal stakeholders and partner-facing engineering reviews.
• Manage large datasets of testing output and develop tooling for efficient retrieval of debug data, visualization, and reporting experience with tools.
• Work with customers to localize problems using targeted reproduction steps by enabling stress and edge-case testing to assist development teams.
• Running perf benchmarks for both training and inference. Collaborate with AE, FAE, and Solution Architect teams on validation for customer issues and technical documentation. Replicate the reported problems in the local lab

What we need to see:

• 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.
