The Senior Firmware Engineer will join the GPU Firmware Development team at NVIDIA, focusing on developing robust and secure firmware for next-generation GPU architectures. This role emphasizes active development and innovation rather than sustainment or support. The engineer will craft firmware for the GPU OOBHUB, ensuring efficient management of peripherals and secure communication. Collaboration with hardware architects and ASIC designers is essential to define firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols.

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in low-level firmware development, embedded systems, or microcontroller programming.
• Strong background in managing peripherals and communication stacks via industry-standard protocols such as SPI, I2C/I3C, PCIe, SMBus, MCTP, and PLDM.
• Expert-level C development skills in resource-constrained environments.
• Experience working with RISC-V or similar embedded processor architectures.
• Deep understanding of software development processes and robust debugging methodologies.
• Excellent interpersonal abilities for close collaboration with hardware designers and diverse engineering groups.

• Build, architect, develop, and debug critical firmware running in the GPU OOBHUB.
• Build and optimize high-reliability firmware update mechanisms and telemetry systems for next-generation GPU subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with hardware architects and ASIC designers to define firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols.
• Implement secure, modern firmware solutions using high-reliability languages and principles.
• Partner with internal software, hardware, and infrastructure teams to transform architectural features into production-ready firmware.

• 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.
