NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer for its Memory Subsystem Team, known for its innovative contributions to High-Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence. This role focuses on firmware development for NVLINK-C2C, including validation and debugging of firmware and silicon bring-up for NVIDIA products. The ideal candidate will work on boot architecture and security aspects, as well as planning and implementing NVLINK-C2C interfaces. This position requires a collaborative and motivated individual to help drive the memory subsystem from initial power-on to production.

Requirements

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering with a focus on embedded systems or equivalent experience.
  • 6+ years of proven experience in boot architecture and firmware design.
  • Excellent RTL and digital design skills.
  • Good understanding and coding skills in C, C++, and Python.
  • Working knowledge of PC systems, Windows OS, and Linux.
  • Excellent debugging skills and the ability to break problems down based on first principles.

Responsibilities

  • Develop firmware for NVLINK-C2C and validate and debug firmware and silicon bring-up for NVIDIA products.
  • Work on boot architecture and security aspects of NVLINK-C2C interfaces.
  • Create architectural specifications for micro-controllers and processors used for boot and runtime functions.
  • Plan and implement NVLINK-C2C interfaces, validation, and feature enablement on NVIDIA products.
  • Implement low power states, RAS, and telemetry functions.
  • Refine the interface bring-up and validation strategy.

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.
