NVIDIA is looking for a top-tier Software Test Engineer to join the NVIDIA-Cumulus Linux Verification Engineering Team! You will play an exciting role that allows you to lead verification of groundbreaking features of NVIDIA-Cumulus Linux and take full ownership of tasks involved like participating in requirements and design reviews, developing test plans, test execution, and automated test development for the specific features. You will be part of a dynamic Software Verification Team responsible for the qualification of the Network Operating System software that powers data centers that are accelerated, disaggregated, and software-defined to meet the exploding growth in AI and high-performance computing.

What you'll be doing:

  • Functional Testing of various Layer2 and Layer3 features of NVIDIA-Networking Spectrum series Ethernet Switch systems running NVIDIA-Cumulus Linux.
  • Write detailed feature and system test plans, and define and design test beds and topologies.
  • Report issues found during testing into the defect tracking system and validate the fixes and workarounds.
  • Develop automated test suites for different features of NVIDIA-Cumulus Linux.
  • Build and maintain automation required to ensure quality via continuous functional regression.
  • Collaborate with design, test and other internal engineering groups to identify, report, and resolve issues found during testing.

What we need to see:

  • B.S degree or equivalent experience in Engineering/Computer Science/related field.
  • 8+ years of proven experience in Software Quality Engineering.
  • Strong technical abilities, problem-solving, design, coding, and debugging skills.

  • Experience with using test tools from Ixia or Spirent and working experience with test management tools.
  • Strong skills in Python or other scripting languages are a must.
  • Good experience working on Unix or Linux-based OS.
  • Multi-tasking ability and good interpersonal skills.
  • Solid understanding of software engineering practices.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Exposure on using AI (like Claude or Cursor) extensively for code development would be a big plus
  • Knowledge in performance testing and fixing performance issues.
  • Experience with CI methodology & tools (Git, Gerrit, Jenkins, etc.)

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
