Key responsibilities
- Own bring-up of new platforms in the factory across every level: board, tray, rack, and cluster, acting as software owner from first power-on alongside hardware, firmware, diagnostics, and test engineering.
- Design factory flows including firmware flashing across BMC, HMC, SBIOS, VBIOS, NIC and other components, version validation, security provisioning, and power-cycle recovery and retry handling to ensure high first-pass yield at scale.
- Take tools into partner factories, working with ODMs, CMs, OEMs, and CSPs to define requirements, integrate NVIDIA tools into infrastructure, and validate them.
- Use AI coding agents to speed up development, testing, code review, log triage, and bug filing, finding new places to use them and building reliable pipelines.
- Unblock the line when stations are down by tracing failures across hardware and software stacks to find and fix root causes.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in data center firmware, platform software or factory/manufacturing test software, with a BS, MS or PhD in EE, CS or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Proven track record building factory or data center automation (firmware flashing, diagnostics orchestration, provisioning, or log collection) and out-of-band management for large-scale server deployments.
- Strong Python skills for building production tools and orchestration frameworks, plus working knowledge of C/C++, shell and Linux systems.
- Solid knowledge of hardware interfaces (PCIe, USB, SMBus/I2C) and of debugging servers during early bringup.
- Experience working directly with ODMs, CMs, or CSPs during NPI, bring-up, and volume production.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to handle ambiguity, own problems end to end, and work well across time zones.
Nice to have
- Experience with rack-scale or multi-node GPU systems such as NVLink switch trays, rack-level diagnostics, and compute/switch tray bringup.
- Familiarity with manufacturing diagnostic frameworks and factory test stations.
- Experience designing resilient factory flows that improve first-pass yield and reduce line downtime.
Benefits
- Base salary range of 184,000 USD – 287,500 USD, determined based on location, experience, and other objective job-related factors.
