Switch System Validation Engineer

Overview

• NVIDIA’s Networking System Validation Group is growing, and we are hiring a Junior Switch System Validation Engineer.
• As a member of the team, you will contribute to NVIDIA’s core networking projects, which help drive the company’s technological and business growth.
• You will develop knowledge of networking technologies and switch microarchitecture while helping validate, optimize, and debug devices in areas such as Quality of Service, performance, logic correctness, and AI-related features.
• Working alongside experienced validation engineers, logic designers, circuit designers, and architects, you will contribute to successful product development across aggressive product cycles and gain hands-on experience in both pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.
• You should have a solid foundation in software development and an interest in areas such as Python scripting, embedded software, device firmware, emulation, and silicon validation.
• This is an opportunity to learn, grow, and take increasing ownership in a complex, multidisciplinary engineering environment.
• What you will be doing: Work as part of a combined design and verification team specializing in switch full-chip validation.
• Learn switch architecture and microarchitecture and translate requirements into validation scenarios.
• Contribute to the development of full-chip test plans, test suites, and validation collateral.
• Develop and maintain tests using Python and C in a Linux environment.
• Run regressions, analyze results, and debug test failures with guidance from experienced engineers.
• Help maintain test suites used for simulation, emulation and silicon platform bring-up and checkout.
• Collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, and validation teams to identify and resolve issues.
• Improve validation flows, automation, test coverage, and debugging capabilities.
• What we need to see: B.Sc.
• in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; outstanding recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Academic or practical programming experience with Python and familiarity with C or C++.
• Basic experience working in a Linux environment.
• Understanding of computer architecture, digital systems, networking, embedded systems, or related areas.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Motivation to learn complex systems and investigate technical problems.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
• Ways to stand out from the crowd: Academic projects, internships, or practical experience involving verification, validation, embedded systems, firmware, or networking.
• Familiarity with network protocols or switch architecture.
• Experience with object-oriented programming, operating systems, or multithreaded application development.
• Exposure to simulation, emulation, FPGA, or silicon bring-up environments.
• Experience developing automated tests, debugging software or hardware failures, or analyzing test results.
• NVIDIA is widely considered one of the technology world’s most desirable employers.
• We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working with us.
• Are you curious, creative, and eager to learn? Do you enjoy understanding how complex hardware and software systems work together? If so, we want to hear from you.
• Join our Switch Silicon team and help us build and validate the next generation of networking products.
