Join
NVIDIA as a Senior Firmware Engineer and be part of something truly outstanding!
In this role, you'll collaborate with a world-class team at the forefront of AI and accelerated computing technology!
In this role you'll drive the development of low-level firmware powering NVIDIA’s AI-accelerator hardware.
This is an opportunity to influence key technical decisions, shape system behavior, and deliver high-quality firmware for cutting-edge platforms.
What You'll Be Doing:
• Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack (bootloader, drivers, RTOS, and system services).
• Develop firmware specifications and define clear interface behaviors across system components.
• Profile, optimize, and validate latency-critical code paths to ensure strong performance and reliability.
• Collaborate with hardware, silicon, system software, and AI teams to define interfaces and support system integration.
• Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving firmware and hardware interactions.
• Contribute to system bring-up, validation, and continuous improvements in firmware quality and robustness.
What We Need to See:
• B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 8
years of professional firmware development experience on complex SoC/ASIC platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C/C
(C11 or later), with solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming.
• Experience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX) and/or bare-metal firmware.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4/5, DDR4/5, SerDes, Ethernet) and common peripheral buses (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN).
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware/software boundaries.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
• Experience with firmware for
AI/ML hardware or datacenter-scale systems.
• Proven ability to deliver high-quality firmware in complex, cross-functional environments.
• Experience with system bring-up, validation, and performance tuning.
• Familiarity with firmware testing frameworks and automation.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive effective technical solutions.
