Principal Software Engineer, Rack-Scale System Software — CSP Engagements

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our CSP Engagements team as the technical focal point for rack-scale system SW/FW, working with CSP engineering teams to ensure they can deploy, monitor, and operate these systems reliably at fleet scale. In this role, you will collaborate with NVIDIA 's cross-functional rack-scale system SW/FW engineering teams with dedicated CSP-facing technical leadership. Your focus is on the system-level software that manages, monitors, and recovers the rack as a whole — fabric management, GPU/NVSwitch error handling and recovery, health telemetry APIs, firmware update orchestration, and SW-driven serviceability. You will drive work streams with CSP engineering teams to build shared understanding of the architecture, incorporate their operational feedback, and ensure integration readiness. What you'll be doing: Drive rack-scale SW/FW architecture alignment across CSP engagements — including fabric management software, link health monitoring, GPU/NVSwitch error handling, SW/FW serviceability features (e.g., hot-plug support, component isolation, firmware-driven recovery), and multi-component firmware orchestration Drive technical work streams with CSP engineering teams on rack-scale system software — ensuring they deeply understand fabric management, NVSwitch behavior, error handling and recovery policies, health telemetry APIs, and SW/FW-controlled recovery operation Capture and synthesize CSP engineering feedback on rack-scale syst
