NVIDIAJob Title
High Speed SerDes Validation Engineer - New College Grad 2026
Role Summary
Join the DGX Server Product Engineering team to develop and execute system-level validation for GPU-accelerated computing products. You will design and automate test plans, run stress and performance workloads, and debug hardware/software interactions on server platforms.
Experience Level
Entry-level / New college graduate. Role is intended for recent BS/MS/PhD graduates or equivalents.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities focus on end-to-end product validation, coordination with partners, and resolving system-level issues.
- Develop and own test plans, automation, coverage metrics, and release-to-production validation.
- Create system-level stress and performance tests using real-world Deep Learning/AI workloads.
- Execute tests in hardware labs, analyze results, and drive bug resolution to closure.
- Coordinate with ODMs, component suppliers, QA, and cross-functional teams across time zones.
- Design for validation (DfV) and plan lab resources and diagnostics for production readiness.
- Troubleshoot complex hardware-software interactions on GPU-accelerated platforms.
Requirements
Key must-have skills and capabilities for immediate contribution.
- Ability to work on site in a hardware lab environment 5 days a week.
- Experience validating and debugging complex systems and running real-world workloads and factory diagnosis tools.
- High-speed IO and SERDES validation experience (50 Gbaud/s and above) and strong understanding of DSP-based SERDES architectures (must-have).
- Familiarity with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes and digital multimeters.
- Coding and scripting experience (C/C++, Python, JavaScript or similar) for test automation and tooling.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills and experience collaborating across teams and suppliers.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with datacenter systems (management, security, networking, storage) and Ethernet/InfiniBand architectures.
- Hands-on SERDES performance tuning and circuit/waveform analysis experience.
- Track record of process improvement and automation tooling.
Education Requirements
Recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
