NVIDIA We're looking for a versatile and highly motivated Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you'll play a crucial part in enhancing our engineering capabilities across the entire software development lifecycle. You'll be instrumental in developing and optimizing our build, test, and release processes, ensuring the quality and stability of our products through comprehensive testing, and deriving actionable insights from system telemetry. This position requires a strong problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative environment and is passionate about driving efficiency and quality through automation and data.
What You Will Be Doing
Build, Release & Infrastructure Automation: Design, implement, and maintain robust build flows for embedded software; automate complex release processes; and manage underlying infrastructure for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Troubleshoot build failures and infrastructure issues and optimize CI/CD workflows for efficiency and reliability. Comprehensive Testing & OS Vetting: Develop and enhance automated frameworks for System-on-Chip (SOC) validation, including daily sanity and regression testing. Integrate testing scripts into CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous quality. Perform thorough sanity testing of various System Windows and Linux hardware and software components, ensuring high-quality releases. Develop comprehensive regression reports and scale stress/smoke testing on device farms. Data Analytics & Telemetry: Implement metrics collection and analytics systems to monitor software, build quality, and performance. Analyze telemetry and log data from distributed systems to identify patterns, anomalies, and derive actionable insights that guide development priorities and improve product quality.
What We Need To See
