Conduct fleet-scale failure pattern analysis using statistical methods (Pareto, survival analysis, Weibull) to classify failures as systemic, environmental, or configuration-specific
Drive fleet health monitoring integration architecture — ensure NVIDIA's health agents, telemetry, and reporting align with CSP operational workflows and automation
Define burn-in reliability test environment and cluster certification criteria in collaboration with quality teams, validating with customers that criteria are meaningful
Collaborate with CSPs to ensure reliability-related integration work (health monitoring deployment, telemetry pipeline, alerting configuration) is complete ahead of at-scale launch
Develop predictive failure models using fleet telemetry and validate their effectiveness in customer environments
What we need to see
15+ years of experience in systems software at datacenter scale, or reliability engineering with focus on at-scale challenges.
BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Deep expertise in multi-NUMA, rack-scale system software and firmware. Statistical failure analysis methods: MTBF/MTBI calculation, Pareto analysis, root cause classification
Experience with fleet-level telemetry and observability systems: time-series databases, anomaly detection, health scoring, event correlation
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
Ways to stand out from the crowd
Experience in fleet reliability at a hyperscaler (hardware health, fleet reliability at leading CSP/Hyperscaler)
Familiarity with NVIDIA GPU error taxonomy (Xid errors, NVLink error counters, thermal events, CPER records)
Experience building health scoring or predictive failure models for accelerator or HPC infrastructure
Background in defining MTBI/MTBF measurement standards or certification programs for complex multi-component systems
Understanding of how reliability data flows from device firmware through telemetry pipelines to fleet-level dashboards and automated remediation
