Senior Resiliency Architect, Hardware Diagnostics and Resiliency Modeling
$184,000 - $287,500 USD yearly
Originally posted 3 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role supports the development of hardware diagnostics and resiliency models for Datacenter and Edge Computing products covering GPUs and SoCs.
What you'll do
- Develop and maintain diagnostics software suites to stress test NVIDIA GPUs and SoCs to identify hardware defects, including defects that cause silent data corruption.
- Analyze coverage gaps in diagnostic suites flagged by silicon failures on customer workloads, enhancing diagnostics for test coverage, repeatability, and test time.
- Model and analyze RAS metrics including Failures in Time (FIT) for permanent and transient errors, and Availability from GPU to Rack to Datacenter.
- Analyze field data on hardware interruptions and permanent failures to improve RAS models, fault attribution, containment, and recovery.
- Design, build, and maintain automation scripts and tooling to manage diagnostic jobs across multiple compute clusters.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to categorize cluster failures into hardware faults, test-script bugs, or environment configuration issues.
What you'll need
- Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or closely related degree, or equivalent experience.
- At least 5+ years of relevant experience.
- Knowledge of GPU Architecture and programming, and hardware diagnostics.
- Understanding of Reliability (FIT) models, AVF estimation, Availability concepts, and ECC/parity/CRC strategies.
- Proficiency in C/C++, CUDA programming, data mining, automation, and scripting with Python and SQL.
- Working knowledge of hardware diagnostics and container-based job execution.
Skills: FIT models, RAS, hardware diagnostics, silent data corruption, availability
