·FY 2025Job description
NVIDIA is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on developing CPU bootloader firmware for ARM-based data center CPUs. This role involves collaborating with CPU architecture teams and managing a distributed group of senior firmware engineers. The manager will foster modern engineering practices and support an asynchronous work environment. The position is critical for ensuring the delivery of high-quality firmware that underpins NVIDIA's data center systems.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 10+ overall years of relevant firmware or systems software experience, including bootloader, BIOS/UEFI, or embedded systems work.
- 3+ years of engineering management experience, with a track record of growing strong, supportive teams.
- Experience supporting distributed teams across multiple time zones, with a clear philosophy for helping autonomous contributors thrive.
- Solid foundation in C/C++ and the ability to engage in deep technical discussions about CPU bring-up, memory initialization, and hardware-software interfaces.
- Working knowledge of ARMv8/v9 architecture, exception levels, and bootloader concepts including reset flow, PSCI, and OS hand-off.
- Demonstrated AI-forward mindset; you use AI coding assistants in your own workflow and help your team adopt them.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a preference for written documentation that builds shared understanding for a remote team.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery and quality of CPU bootloader firmware across NVIDIA’s data center CPU platforms, from architecture through production release.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a distributed team of firmware engineers focused on ARM bootloader, secure boot, and early system bring-up.
- Partner closely with NVIDIA’s CPU architecture team, contributing firmware perspective on hardware design and helping shape the next generation of silicon.
- Lead high-stakes technical reviews and drive rapid issue resolution across the hardware-software boundary.
- Foster modern engineering practices: thoughtful code review, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing on emulation and silicon, and shared root-cause analysis.
- Build an AI-forward engineering culture by adopting AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools to improve team velocity and code quality.
- Support an async-first way of working that helps a geographically distributed team collaborate clearly across time zones.
- Plan and complete silicon tape-out and product launch milestones, sharing risks and status with senior leadership.
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.
