  • Working knowledge of PC systems, Windows OS, and Linux.
  • Excellent debugging skills and the ability to break problems down based on first principles.
  • Strong collaboration and cross-disciplinary teamwork skills.

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 microcontrollers 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.
  • Exercise expertise in digital and analog systems and computer architecture to tackle exciting problems.
  • Refine the interface bring-up and validation strategy.
