Senior Data Scientist – EDA Datacenter Observability and Reliability

NVIDIA • Santa Clara, CA

22h • Hybrid

About The Position

NVIDIA’s Hardware Infrastructure organization is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to support EDA datacenter observability, hardware reliability, and capacity forecasting. In this role, you will work closely with hardware, software, and infrastructure engineering teams to analyze large-scale observability and telemetry data generated by EDA workloads running across global CPU and GPU compute clusters. We work with observability and platform teams to turn raw infrastructure and workload data into meaningful conclusions. These conclusions will help improve reliability, availability, performance, and long-term datacenter scaling. Our work will directly inform operational decisions and long-term planning for NVIDIA’s rapidly growing EDA environment.

Requirements

• MS (preferred) or BS in Computer Science (or equivalent experience) or a related field with at least 8+ years of experience applying data science, statistics, or machine learning to large-scale, distributed systems or infrastructure data
• Proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience working with large time-series, or operational datasets
• Experience performing exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and model validation
• Familiarity working with observability or telemetry data and turning raw signals into actionable insights
• Ability to take ownership of analytical projects and drive them from problem definition through delivery, in collaboration with multi-functional partners
• Experience communicating results through dashboards, reports, and data-driven recommendations
• Collaboration, planning, and interpersonal skills
• Flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements

Nice To Haves

• Experience with datacenter infrastructure, hardware reliability analysis, or workload performance modeling
• Familiarity with EDA workflows, HPC environments, or large-scale compute platforms
• Experience enabling forecasting, managing farm resources, or long-range infrastructure analytics
• Exposure to observability platforms or data systems such as Spark, Elastic/OpenSearch, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar technologies, and experience working closely with infrastructure or observability engineering teams
• A track record of driving process improvements using data and sharing knowledge across teams

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with hardware, software, infrastructure, and observability teams to define analytical requirements for EDA datacenter monitoring and reliability
• Examine large-scale observability data, hardware health signals, and workload telemetry to identify reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, and inefficiencies
• Create performance indicators, dashboards, and analytical frameworks that measure hardware reliability, workload stability, availability, and utilization
• Build statistical and machine learning models for anomaly detection, failure pattern analysis, and reliability improvement
• Develop forecasting models to predict datacenter growth, capacity needs, and scaling requirements across compute, storage, and networking
• Partner with observability engineers to influence data collection, enrichment, and retention strategies that support high-quality analysis
• Translate sophisticated analyses into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical collaborators
• Continuously improve data quality, analytical workflows, and methodologies to support reliable, scalable EDA infrastructure

Benefits

• Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
• You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
