Engineering Technician

Join Sustainable Talent as an Engineering Technician supporting Nvidia and their IPP Platform Group (Infrastructure, Planning and Process)! This is a W-2 full-time contract with openings in Hillsboro, OR and Austin, TX.  We offer competitive pay $35-45/hourly based on factors like experience, education, location, etc. and provide full benefits, PTO, and amazing company culture!

IPP works with various groups within NVIDIA Software Engineering and includes Graphics Processing, Deep/Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Autonomous Vehicles. IPP Platform supplies infrastructure and provides a Platform for executing nearly half a million automated jobs per day on thousands of servers improving the efficiency of thousands of NVIDIA's Software Engineers worldwide! 

In this role, you will be faced with the challenge of maintaining the availability/reliability of the Platform developers use to develop and test software for NVIDIA hardware. Additionally, you will collaborate with Infrastructure Engineers and Architects, install/configure and maintain Windows, Linux, and MAC platforms, and be responsible for inventory and asset management. We expect things to break in the lab, as the Platform is extremely complex, the software developed is mostly low-level device drivers, and BUGS do break boards/GPUs. We seek to catch problems early in our labs rather than having them discovered in end-user devices. Our labs run more than 100,000 automated tests per day and are part of a sophisticated DevOps pipeline requiring constant supervision, BUG-fixes, and improvements all while maintaining a very high-level of availability and reliability.

  • Ability to perform well at work without requiring constant manager supervision.
  • Ability to do deploy and cable servers and test equipment.
  • Basic understanding of UNIX/Windows operating systems, networking and storage.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Comfortable multitasking and iterating over repetitive tasks. 
  • To be successful in this position, you should have a love of working with close-knit, multi-disciplinary teams, and enjoy hands-on work with pioneering platforms.

Ways to stand out of the crowd:

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
