Are you passionate about automation, AI-assisted development, gaming technology, and improving software quality through thoughtful testing?
If so, we have a phenomenal opportunity for you!
NVIDIA is seeking a creative, hands-on automation engineer with strong Python development skills, a quality-focused attitude, and the ability to understand complex software, hardware, and PC gaming interactions.
The successful candidate will help build and maintain Python-based automation frameworks, use AI development tools to accelerate test creation and implementation, and contribute to manual test planning and execution for
NVIDIA App, the successor to GeForce Experience and
NVIDIA Control Panel.
As a Software Development Engineer in Test, you will develop automation, tools, and test coverage for
NVIDIA software products, with a focus on improving quality, accelerating validation, and identifying defects early in the development lifecycle.
What you’ll be doing:
• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests using Python for
NVIDIA app and interactions with drivers, applications, and gaming-related technologies.
• Use AI development tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor or similar AI-assisted development tools to accelerate automation development, test generation, debugging, and workflow optimization.
• Build and improve automation framework components, utilities, and tools that make test execution more reliable, scalable, and efficient.
• Translate product documentation and feature requirements into test plans, automation coverage, and targeted hands-on validation for complex PC platform scenarios, including corner cases and obscure interactions across hardware, software, drivers, games, and system settings.
• Debug automation failures, product defects, and platform issues to identify root cause and communicate findings clearly.
• Write maintainable, reliable, and well-documented Python code.
Participate in peer code reviews with feedback on correctness, scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Work closely with development, QA, and leadership teams to report progress, raise risks, and improve overall product quality.
What we need to see:
• B.E./B.
Tech degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5
years of software development, test automation, or software quality engineering experience, including collaboration across development and test teams across the globe.
• Strong programming experience in Python, including object-oriented programming, package management, debugging, logging, error handling, and automation framework development.
• Hands-on experience building or maintaining automated tests, test tools, or automation infrastructure.
• Working knowledge of AI-assisted development tools and workflows, including the ability to use coding agents or CLI-based AI tools to generate, modify, debug, and improve automation code.
• Experience reading user documentation, product specifications, or feature requirements and developing test plans and test cases from them.
• Good understanding of Windows operating systems, PC architecture, drivers, hardware/software interactions, PC gaming scenarios, and troubleshooting workflows.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including the ability to isolate issues across automation, product code, operating systems, drivers, hardware configurations, and game/application behavior.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
• Experience with agentic AI development, including how agents are created, configured, prompted, evaluated, and integrated into engineering workflows.
• Prior experience using Codex, Claude Code, or similar AI coding agents for real software development or test automation work.
• Experience with GPUs, graphics drivers, gaming technologies, or
NVIDIA technologies such as DLSS, Frame Generation, Reflex, CUDA, G-Sync, or related areas.
• Strong knowledge of PC gaming ecosystems, including launchers, overlays, multi-monitor setups, display modes, input devices, performance tools, and compatibility scenarios.
