This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology in a dynamic and inclusive environment.

Requirements

  • Domain expertise in System BIOS (UEFI) Firmware development on X86 or ARM Platforms.
  • Strong experience with IBVs or EDK2 Firmware architecture.
  • Solid experience of end-to-end delivery of client products from definition to customer deployment.
  • Solid understanding of low-level interfaces between BIOS (UEFI) and OS like I2C/SPI/PCIe/JTAG.
  • Experience working closely with HW teams, ODMs and vendors to introduce and support client platforms.
  • Experience with C/C++ development, bash/python for scripting, and debugging skills in embedded Linux/Windows operating environments.
  • Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent experience.
  • 8+ years of experience with demonstrated strong ability as an individual contributor.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and deliver innovations for GPU based Client products with a focus on firmware development.
  • Work with a global team of BIOS developers on NVIDIA client designs.
  • Design and develop performance optimized UEFI/BIOS solutions using industry standards.
  • Instrument code to ensure maximum code coverage and write and automate unit tests for each implemented module.
  • Provide software quality reports based on static analysis, code coverage, and CPU load.
  • Collaborate with the security team to ensure developed code aligns with product security goals.
  • Partner closely with hardware teams to influence hardware design and review HW architecture and schematics.
  • Work with QA/Test architects to develop proper test tools and automation for qualifying the entire system software and firmware stack.

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.
