Job description

NVIDIA is looking for a highly skilled QA Engineer to join the Workstation and Virtualization team. This role focuses on ensuring product quality through collaboration with customers, software engineers, and program managers. The ideal candidate will have expertise in both Windows and Linux environments and experience with virtualization platforms. The position involves troubleshooting complex issues and developing AI-driven tools to enhance workflow efficiency.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Software Engineering, or related fields.
  • 5+ years of industry experience, including at least 2 years in customer support or software/hardware testing.
  • Proficient in Windows, virtualization technologies (VMware ESXi, Citrix Hypervisor, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM), and scripting/automation (Python, PowerShell, Bash).
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware and software issues.
  • Solid knowledge of PC architecture, supercomputers, and computer clusters.
  • Extensive experience building, configuring, and troubleshooting PCs and servers.
  • Hands-on experience with debugging tools and memory dump analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Reproduce issues reported by OEMs, enterprise customers, and partners.
  • Collaborate with software developers, program managers, and customers to determine root causes and verify defect fixes.
  • Validate NVIDIA products on customer-specific platforms and configurations.
  • Build Python, C#, and C++-based scripts and diagnostic tools to increase bug reproduction and troubleshooting efficiency.
  • Develop AI-driven tools and technologies that improve workflow efficiency.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
