  • Familiarity with computer system architecture, microprocessors, and microcontroller fundamentals.
  • Expertise in C programming languages and outstanding debugging skills.
  • Defensive security programming skills.
  • Excellent communication abilities, both verbal and written.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and validate SOC and GPU Boot and Security software across Automotive, Embedded, and Data Center platforms.
  • Participate actively in the new silicon lifecycle, spanning pre-silicon simulation/emulation to silicon power-on bring-up phases.
  • Identify, debug, and resolve issues within the Boot stack, ensuring detailed operation.
  • Collaborate closely with architecture, software, and hardware design teams to enhance the next generation of NVIDIA System-on-Chips.

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.
