Senior Software Engineer - Distributed Systems Engineer, EDA Infrastructure

Details

NVIDIA is hiring engineers to build and scale the infrastructure that supports its Electronic Design Automation (EDA) workloads. The role focuses on designing reliable automation and platform services that manage large fleets of GPU-based and CPU-based compute systems used by engineering teams across NVIDIA.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working across software, operating systems, cluster schedulers, networking, storage, and physical hardware. The role involves solving complex operational problems, eliminating repetitive work through automation, and building systems that remain reliable as infrastructure grows.

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 continuous improvement of production services.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of software engineering or infrastructure engineering experience supporting large-scale production systems.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Strong programming experience in Go or Python, including 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.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing or operating large-scale EDA or high-performance computing infrastructure.
• Deep knowledge of Linux, GPU and CPU server architecture, networking, storage, and bare-metal lifecycle management.
• Hands-on experience with workload schedulers and cluster-management platforms such as Slurm, LSF, Kubernetes, or Bright Cluster Manager.
• Experience supporting EDA applications, license-management systems, high-throughput batch workloads, or semiconductor design workflows.
• Experience building automated health checks, break-fix remediation, firmware and operating-system upgrade workflows, or node-provisioning systems.
• A track record of improving infrastructure reliability, utilization, and recovery time through production-quality automation.
• Experience operating infrastructure across multiple data centers or heterogeneous hardware environments.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary range for Level 3: $152,000–$241,500 USD per year.
• Base salary range for Level 4: $184,000–$287,500 USD per year.
• Additional equity and benefits are provided.
• The base salary is determined based on location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
• Applications will be accepted at least until September 4, 2026.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive work environment.
