NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. It's a unique legacy of innovation fueled by great technology—and amazing people. We are seeking a Network Solution Verification Engineer to join our R&D organization, focused on validating NVIDIA's customer-facing networking solutions at scale using a state-of-the-art End-to-End (E2E) simulation cluster environment.
In this role, you will be a hands-on technical contributor at the intersection of networking, automation, and AI-driven validation — designing and implementing the simulation frameworks, agentic workflows, and regression pipelines that ensure NVIDIA's networking solutions meet the highest standards of quality and real-world applicability before reaching customers.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing and implementing end-to-end validation frameworks for NVIDIA's customer-facing networking solutions at scale, leveraging a dedicated E2E simulation cluster environment.
- Writing, maintaining, and extending automated test suites and regression pipelines for networking protocols and large-scale simulation runs, ensuring repeatable, high-confidence validation outcomes.
- Performing deep regression analysis on simulation results — identifying failure trends, isolating root causes, and delivering clear, actionable findings to architecture and design teams.
- Developing agentic AI flows that autonomously perform regression analysis, detect coverage gaps, generate new test cases, and implement validation code — continuously learning from simulation results and product changes to accelerate coverage without manual intervention.
- Integrating validation pipelines into CI/CD workflows to enable continuous, automated regression at scale, working closely with DevOps and platform teams.
- Collaborating closely with Design, Architecture, and NCS teams to understand solution requirements, translate them into simulation scenarios, and provide early-cycle quality feedback that influences product direction.
- Analyzing customer-reported networking issues, mapping them to simulation coverage gaps, and building targeted test cases that prevent regression.
- Continuously exploring new simulation technologies, agentic frameworks, and networking standards to evolve and improve the team's validation methodology.
What we need to see:
- B.Sc. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience as a software developer.
- Strong proficiency in Python for test automation, tooling development, and pipeline implementation.
- Hands-on experience with network simulation or emulation tools (e.g., Containerlab, GNS3, SONiC testbeds, or equivalent platforms).
- Proven experience designing and building simulation agents or traffic generators that mimic real-world networking behavior at scale.
- Solid experience with agentic AI frameworks and LLM-based automation (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar) and practical ability to apply them to validation and test generation workflows.
- Strong command of regression analysis methodologies — able to triage, classify, and extract actionable conclusions from large-scale test result datasets.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, cross-functional, multi-timezone engineering environment with strong verbal and written communication skills.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Hands-on experience validating data center networking solutions or hyperscale network environments (spine-leaf, fat-tree, or Clos topologies).
- Familiarity with NVIDIA networking products — BlueField DPUs, ConnectX NICs, Spectrum switches, or the DOCA software stack.
- Deep understanding of networking protocols and architectures (e.g., BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, RDMA/RoCE, Ethernet, IP routing, L2/L3 switching).
- Hands-on experience building agentic pipelines for automated test generation, result triage, or validation code synthesis — including prompt engineering and tool-use patterns for LLM agents.
- Prior exposure to customer-facing solution validation or translating customer deployment scenarios into structured simulation test cases.
