Details

NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Today NVIDIA is tapping into the potential of AI to define the next era of computing. This role focuses on designing, driving, and operationalizing rack-scale factory and deployment flows for next-generation data center products that combine NVIDIA GPUs, NVLink, InfiniBand, Grace CPUs, and a full NVIDIA AI/HPC software stack.

Responsibilities

Lead and drive rack-scale / L11 flows for factory and initial data center deployment.
Design and implement end-to-end factory workflows, including firmware flashing sequences, security provisioning, and deployment of software mitigations.
Collaborate with data center architects, ODMs, and OEMs to define factory and data center requirements to ensure efficient and reliable production ramp.
Champion reliability, debuggability, and optimization in firmware, diagnostic, and deployment tool design.
Drive pre-silicon readiness for factory & manufacturing workflows for rack-scale products using NVIDIA's simulation & emulation technology.
Mentor architects and engineering teams to grow them into future leaders.
Make key technical decisions even when faced with ambiguity.

Requirements

BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree, or equivalent experience.
8+ years in system architecture and design.
Deep experience designing architecture for scalable and performant server systems, particularly at the software/hardware interface.
Strong understanding of networking technologies and protocols (e.g., Ethernet, InfiniBand).
Previous experience working with complex system software for accelerators such as GPUs, DPUs, or FPGAs.
Expertise in out-of-band and in-band management architectures.
Knowledge of system management protocols such as Redfish and IPMI.
Demonstrable experience implementing left-shift strategies to de-risk program execution.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

Knowledge of large-scale cloud and cluster level deployment and management systems.
Demonstrated track record of leading data center products across the entire lifecycle (inception, pre-silicon development, post-silicon bring-up, manufacturing, and deployment).

Compensation and benefits

Base salary ranges:
- Level 4: 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD per year
- Level 5: 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD per year
