Job description
As a member of the NVLink Firmware Development and Verification team, you will be responsible for unit and integration-level firmware verification on both pre-silicon and post-silicon platforms. The role involves enabling firmware and verification infrastructure for next-generation GPUs that support high-performance interconnects in multi-GPU systems. You will collaborate with design and verification teams to validate firmware features and functionality while driving silicon bring-up and debugging activities. This position requires strong analytical skills and proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, and C++.
Requirements
- BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- Minimum 3+ years of experience in firmware or software verification.
- Strong debugging and analytical skills.
- Proficiency in Python, C, C++, and understanding of object-oriented programming.
- Solid understanding of computer architecture, microprocessors, and microcontroller fundamentals.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
- Positive attitude and strong team player.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate within a combined design and verification team to validate firmware features and functionality.
- Develop verification plans, test cases, and correctness models primarily in Python.
- Drive silicon bring-up, feature enablement, and debug activities on GPU systems.
- Work closely with architecture, hardware, and firmware teams on firmware enablement and validation strategies.
- Triage and resolve firmware issues observed during customer qualification or in-field testing.
- Log and track bugs, maintain coverage metrics, and perform gap analysis.
- Develop and maintain automation tools and infrastructure to improve firmware development and verification workflows.
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.
