Job description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to enhance the infrastructure supporting Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads. The role focuses on building and scaling reliable automation and platform services for large fleets of GPU and CPU compute systems. Candidates should possess strong programming skills and a deep understanding of distributed systems. The position involves collaboration with various engineering teams to deliver scalable solutions for critical chip-design workloads.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software engineering or infrastructure engineering experience supporting large-scale production systems.
  • A BS in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong programming experience in Go or Python, including a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, testing, and software design.
  • Experience designing automation for distributed systems and large fleets of Linux-based compute nodes.
  • Understanding of performance, security, reliability, fault tolerance, state management, and data consistency in complex systems.
  • Experience with infrastructure automation, software deployment, observability, and operational recovery.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams, organizations, and geographic regions.
  • A systematic approach to problem solving, with a strong sense of ownership and an emphasis on reducing operational toil.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build platforms that automate the provisioning, configuration, operation, and lifecycle management of large-scale GPU and CPU compute infrastructure.
  • Develop monitoring, health-management, and remediation systems that improve the reliability, availability, and utilization of EDA compute environments.
  • Automate hardware deployment, operating-system configuration, firmware and software updates, cluster enrollment, and recovery workflows.
  • Build reliable services and workflows that integrate with workload schedulers, infrastructure management systems, and observability platforms.
  • Use hardware diagnostics, operating-system signals, scheduler data, and network and storage telemetry to identify failures and return unhealthy systems to service.
  • Work with EDA, infrastructure, networking, storage, and hardware engineering teams to deliver scalable solutions for critical chip-design workloads.
  • Participate in incident response, root-cause analysis, capacity planning, and the continuous improvement of production services.

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.
