TL;DR

As a Senior Validation Engineer in the DGX Server Product Engineering Team, you will work closely with hardware and software engineers to develop and execute comprehensive automated test plans for cutting-edge GPU-accelerated computing products. Your responsibilities include owning the validation process from start to finish, collaborating with original design manufacturers (ODMs), component suppliers, and QA teams, coordinating cross-functional efforts in various time zones, and devising system-level stress and performance testing strategies using advanced AI applications. You will need expertise in high-speed IO validation, experience with DSP-based SERDES architectures, and proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, JavaScript, and Python. Familiarity with datacenter products, Ethernet, InfiniBand switch architectures, and hands-on experience with SERDES performance tuning is advantageous. This role demands a strong understanding of circuit and waveform analysis, along with the ability to work effectively in a hardware lab environment and deliver quality products on tight schedules.
