NVIDIA's SoC Memory Subsystem team is seeking a senior DRAM firmware engineer to manage memory firmware from architecture to production. The role involves leading DRAM initialization and training across various memory types and tuning interfaces for optimal performance. The engineer will also mentor junior team members and refine validation strategies. This position is crucial for ensuring high-quality firmware development and successful memory bring-up.

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 6+ years of relevant DRAM or memory firmware development experience for high speed LPDDR or system DDR memories.
• Strong command of DRAM initialization and training protocols, calibration algorithms, and their firmware implementation.
• Deep understanding of DRAM interfaces and the effects of PVT variation on timing, training, and margining.
• Proficiency in C/C++ with a solid grasp of data structures, compilers, and build and version-control tooling.
• Excellent debugging skills to decompose complex failures.

• Own DRAM firmware across its lifecycle, including architecture, implementation, silicon bring-up, and production tuning.
• Design and implement DRAM initialization and training sequences, including training protocols and calibration algorithms.
• Characterize and tune the DRAM interface across PVT variation to maintain margins.
• Drive the memory bring-up and validation strategy while troubleshooting hardware/software interactions.
• Set the firmware quality bar through code reviews, profiling, and coverage.
• Mentor early-career engineers on the team and refine the interface bring-up and validation strategy.

• 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.
