RDMA and AI Networking - Performance & Validation Engineer
Validate and tune performance across MangoBoost's RoCEv2 NIC releases on multi-node clusters.
About the role
Performance and validation engineers own the final validation of every RDMA NIC release before customer deployment and verify system performance across large-scale AI and storage workloads. In this role, you will build test and benchmark automation, analyze and tune performance across the entire system, and collaborate with driver and hardware teams to resolve functional and performance issues.
What you'll do
- Own release validation of MangoBoost's RoCEv2 NIC.
- Architect, code, and operate automated validation pipelines and stress-injection frameworks on multi-node clusters.
- Identify functional failures and performance regressions, isolating them to the hardware, driver, or workload layer.
- Profile AI and storage workloads on the NIC and analyze bottlenecks from the application down to the hardware.
- Lead industry-standard benchmark initiatives and drive competitive analysis against competing solutions.
What you'll need
- BS, MS, or PhD in CS, EE, CE, or equivalent practical experience.
- 2+ years of industry or academic experience in systems programming, test automation, or performance engineering.
- Coding skills in Python, C/C++, Bash, or similar, with a focus on automation.
- Failure triage and performance analysis skills spanning user space, kernel, and hardware interactions.
- Understanding of modern data center architectures, topologies, and high-speed devices.
Nice to have
- Background in RDMA, DPU/SmartNIC, or high-performance networking.
- Experience with GPU clusters and AI training/inference workloads.
- Experience with high-performance storage such as NVMe-oF, SPDK, or distributed storage.
- Experience building test infrastructure or cluster tooling using CI, Kubernetes, or containers.

How we counted: 38 open Systems Software Engineering (Networking Software) roles from 14 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
