Data Center Power Test Architect

NVIDIA transforms computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for over 25 years, now pushing the boundaries of AI and next‑generation computing. Responsibilities Define End‑to‑End Test Strategy – own and drive test architecture and validation strategy for power features across multiple NVIDIA platforms, from pre‑silicon simulation to post‑silicon production readiness. Develop test plans aligned with product deliverables and customer use cases, ensuring comprehensive test coverage. Influence early design decisions to optimize testability and automation readiness across teams. Architect Scalable Test Infrastructure – design modular, reusable frameworks and automation harnesses for functional, integration, stress, regression, power, security, and performance testing at scale. Own Data Center Power Quality Metrics – define KPIs such as code coverage, system uptime, bug escape rate, and validation completeness; establish dashboards and reporting mechanisms. Drive Root Cause Analysis and Debugging – lead complex issue investigations across firmware, software, and hardware layers, documenting debug methodologies and tools. Innovate in Lab Automation and CI/CD – partner with DevOps and infrastructure teams to integrate continuous testing into nightly and pre‑merge workflows. Enable Productization and Customer Readiness – validate real‑world use cases, customer configurations, and production scenarios; contribute to release gates and sign‑off criteria. Mentor, Lead, Explore, and Adopt Emerging Technologies – coach QA engineers, stay current on embedded validation trends, and champion new tools and standards. Boost Team Efficiency with AI – use AI‑powered tools and copilots to accelerate test development, automate repetitive validation workflows, and streamline debug and root cause analysis. Qualifications B.S./M.S./PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience). 10+ years of experience in data center power enablement related to software/firmware testing, focused on telemetry and power efficiency across systems. Strong knowledge of system architecture, power shelf, baseboard management, hardware/software power features, industry power standards, system interfaces, and embedded controllers. Proven experience designing test frameworks and infrastructure in Python, C/C++, or similar languages. Expertise with platform standards for security, telemetry and manageability (NIST, DMTF, OCP). Hands‑on experience with server platforms, network, storage, cluster configuration, and debugging. Background with platform telemetry, datacenter node lifecycle management/support, including CPU/GPU workloads. Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python. Expertise in administering, operating, and configuring Kubernetes and Envoy. Validated experience in CI/CD tools such as GitLab and Jenkins and the GitOps model. Experience with lab automation, simulation, HW‑in‑the‑loop testing, and CI/CD pipelines. Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and analytical skills. Excellent communication and collaboration skills; experience working in a globally distributed team is a plus. Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd Experience with NVIDIA platforms (e.g., DGX, HGX, Grace Hopper systems). Exposure to security validation, compliance (e.g., FIPS, BMC security), or thermal/power validation. Prior role as a test architect or technical lead for large‑scale datacenter enablement or firmware validation programs. Contributions to open‑source testing tools or frameworks with a strong knowledge of cloud‑scale validation, infrastructure automation, or virtualization. Prior experience with using AI tools to create agents, design test plans, identify test gaps, automation and failure analysis. Applications for this job will be accepted at least until June 26, 2026.
