Job description

Join NVIDIA as a Senior Firmware Engineer and work with a world-class team focused on AI and accelerated computing technology. In this role, you will drive the development of low-level firmware for NVIDIA’s AI-accelerator hardware. This position offers the opportunity to influence technical decisions and deliver high-quality firmware for cutting-edge platforms. You will collaborate with various teams to ensure robust system integration and performance.

Requirements

  • 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 a solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming.
  • Experience with real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, or ThreadX.
  • Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces like PCIe, DDR, SerDes, and Ethernet.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack including 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.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
