This role offers an outstanding opportunity to leave your mark on the design, construction, optimization and testing of our flagship super computers and data center offerings. If you are a dedicated engineer with a deep understanding of data center power systems, and you thrive in an exciting, innovative environment, this could be the flawless role for you! What You'll Be Doing: As a Data Center Power Test Architect at NVIDIA, you will be a key technical leader driving quality and reliability across our next-generation datacenter software and firmware stack. Your work will directly impact NVIDIA's ability to deliver robust, secure, and high-performing solutions for AI, HPC, and cloud-scale systems. You will: + Define End-to-End Test Strategy: Own and drive the overall test architecture and validation strategy for power features across multiple NVIDIA platforms-from pre-silicon simulation and emulation to post-silicon bring-up and production readiness. Develop test plans aligned with product deliverables and customer use cases. Work closely across teams to ensure comprehensive test coverage. Influence early design decisions to optimize testability and automation readiness. + Architect Scalable Test Infrastructure: Design and implement modular, reusable test frameworks and automation harnesses that support functional, integration, stress, regression, power, security, and performance testing. Ensure test infrastructure scales efficiently across hundreds of systems in parallel. + Own Data Center Power Quality Metrics: Define quality KPIs such as code coverage, system uptime, bug escape rate, and validation completeness. Establish dashboards and reporting mechanisms to track progress and drive data-driven decision-making. + Drive Root Cause Analysis and Debugging: Lead complex issue investigations that span firmware, software, and hardware layers. Develop and document debug methodologies and tools to improve diagnosis efficiency across the team. + Innovate in Lab Automation and CI/CD: Partner with DevOps and infrastructure teams to enhance test automation pipelines, integrate continuous testing into nightly and pre-merge workflows, and ensure fast and reliable release qualification. + Enable Productization and Customer Readiness: Validate real-world use cases, customer configurations, and production scenarios. Contribute to release gates and sign-off criteria to ensure firmware is ready for deployment in systems critical to the mission. + Mentor, Lead, Explore and Adopt Emerging Technologies: Serve as a technical mentor and coach to software QA engineers and junior test developers. Foster a culture of quality, innovation, and continuous learning across the organization. Stay up to date on trends in embedded validation, test automation frameworks, and industry standards. Champion the adoption of new tools, methodologies, and standards to raise the quality bar. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [WWC24 - Ankit Patel - Unlocking the Future Breakthrough Application Performance and Capabilities with NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/920-wwc24-ankit-patel-unlocking-the-future-breakthrough-application-performance-and-capabilities-with-nvidia) - [The Road to MLOps: How Verivox Transitioned to AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1050-the-road-to-mlops-how-verivox-transitioned-to-aws) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) ## Related Articles - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
