This role involves working closely with engineering teams of key CSP and hyperscale customers to ensure effective management and operation of NVIDIA GPU firmware at scale. The engineer will drive work streams to integrate customer feedback into NVIDIA's feature roadmap and ensure readiness of automation and recovery procedures for firmware releases. The position requires identifying patterns in GPU firmware operational challenges to drive systemic improvements.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in GPU system software, GPU firmware, or accelerator platform engineering.
  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Deep understanding of GPU architecture internals and their impact on compute performance.
  • Experience with firmware update lifecycle management at scale.
  • Understanding of GPU error handling and recovery flows.

Responsibilities

  • Drive GPU firmware and software work streams with CSP engineering teams.
  • Gather and synthesize CSP feedback on GPU firmware and software.
  • Drive GPU firmware update orchestration for large-scale deployments.
  • Serve as the technical focal point between NVIDIA and CSP firmware/software engineering.
  • Identify cross-CSP GPU software and firmware issue patterns.

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.
