From NVIDIA's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our CSP Engagements team as the technical focal point for fleet-scale reliability, working directly with engineering teams of key CSP / hyperscale customers to ensure NVIDIA platforms achieve target MTBI (Mean Time Between Interruptions) in production. In this role, you will augment NVIDIA's internal software/firmware and quality teams with a dedicated CSP-facing focus.
You will drive work streams with CSP engineering teams to build shared understanding of reliability software/firmware architecture, methodology, incorporate their fleet telemetry and failure data into NVIDIA's improvement priorities, and validate that reliability improvements measured in the lab translate to real customer environments. Your cross-CSP visibility enables you to distinguish systemic architectural gaps from environmental or configuration-specific issues that no single customer engagement could identify alone.
15+ years of experience in systems software at datacenter scale, or reliability engineering with focus on at-scale challenges.
Understanding of hardware failure modes in large-scale GPU/accelerator deployments — ability to classify and prioritize across compute, interconnect, memory, power, and thermal domains
Experience defining or operating burn-in, stress testing, or certification frameworks for complex hardware systems. Familiarity with predictive maintenance or anomaly detection approaches applied to fleet health data
Customer obsession — genuine passion for understanding fleet reliability challenges at scale and translating them into actionable engineering priorities
Strong communication — ability to present statistical reliability findings to both deep technical audiences and executive leadership. Demonstrated success driving cross-functional improvements across hardware, firmware, and software teams without direct authority
