Job Description

Location: Santa Clara, CA (Onsite)

Role Type: contract (W2)

Sustainable Talent is partnering with NVIDIA, a global leader in accelerated computing and graphics, to hire a Windows Validation Engineer to support hands-on system and GPU validation efforts.

This role is focused on Windows PC system-level testing and troubleshooting, with an emphasis on GPU validation, system setup, and debugging. This is not an application or web QA role - it requires hands-on experience working at the OS, driver, and hardware level. We offer competitive compensation, $50 - $80/hr based on experience with full benefits.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Set up and configure Windows-based PC systems for validation (OS install, driver installation, firmware updates)

• Perform system-level and GPU validation on Windows platforms (primarily GeForce / consumer GPU environments)

• Execute validation across different system configurations, drivers, and builds

• Troubleshoot system issues and determine root cause (setup, driver, OS, or hardware)

• Analyze system crashes (e.g., BSOD), logs, and memory dumps to identify issues

• Use debugging tools such as WinDbg to investigate system-level problems

• Work closely with engineering teams to reproduce issues and support resolution

• Perform hands-on hardware work, including assembling systems, swapping components, and replacing GPUs/boards

• Ensure systems are properly configured and stable before and during validation

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with Windows PC system-level testing and validation

• Experience working with GPUs in a Windows environment (GeForce or similar preferred)

• Strong troubleshooting skills across OS, drivers, and hardware configurations

• Experience installing Windows OS from scratch, including drivers and firmware updates

• Hands-on experience working with PC hardware (system builds, GPU replacement, board swaps)

• Experience using WinDbg or similar tools for debugging system-level issues (crash analysis, memory dumps, etc.)

• Ability to isolate issues and determine whether they are related to setup, driver, OS, or hardware

• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with engineering teams

Nice to Have

• Experience with Python or scripting to support testing or debugging

• Experience with structured validation or lab environments

• Prior experience working with GPU validation or graphics drivers

Sustainable Talent is a M/F+, disabled, and veteran equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer.
