Automation QA Engineer

We are looking for a talented Software Automation QA Engineer to join our Storage team at NVIDIA. This role sits within the QA organization with a primary focus on validating Storage and Networking solutions that power NVIDIA's industry-leading products. The ideal candidate is QA and also automation-first in mindset, brings deep experience building robust test infrastructure for software, hardware and system-level environments, and thrives in a fast-moving engineering environment where quality and innovation go hand in hand.

What you'll be doing:

Design and develop scalable, reusable automation infrastructure and frameworks in Python/pytest — building systems that are stable, maintainable, and accelerate test coverage across teams

Own the automation lifecycle: from framework architecture and test development through scheduling, CI/CD integration, reporting, and failure analysis

Integrate test suites into Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous validation across software releases

Develop AI-based internal tools to streamline team workflows — including automated failure triage, log analysis, test generation, and productivity tooling that reduces manual overhead

Review architectural designs and feature requirements, then translate them into comprehensive test plans covering functional, regression, performance, and security scopes

Identify, report, and help root-cause bugs found in hardware drivers, firmware interfaces, and system-level components; validate fixes delivered by R&D and track resolution to closure

Define lab topologies and setup configurations to ensure broad product coverage across Storage and Networking environments

Publish detailed test reports and contribute to data-driven quality decisions

What we need to see:

B.A. / B.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

2+ years of hands-on experience in Software QA Automation

2+ years of experience building and maintaining automation infrastructures using Python and PyTest.

2+ years of hands-on experience with Linux systems and Networking environments

Proven experience with CI/CD pipelines — Jenkins and/or GitLab CI

Hands-on experience testing hardware or system-level software (drivers, firmware, embedded systems, or similar)

Knowledge of Storage environments and protocols

Strong written and spoken English; clear communicator with a collaborative mindset

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Demonstrated experience developing and deploying AI-based tools that improve engineering or QA team productivity

An AI-first mindset — proactively using AI to accelerate test generation, failure analysis, and framework development

Experience with Storage and Virtualization technologies (KVM)

Hands-on experience with traffic and I/O tools (FIO, DD, etc.)

Familiarity with Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices
