Job description

This role involves owning the bring-up of new platforms in the factory, focusing on software ownership from the first power-on. The team is dedicated to enhancing NVIDIA's enterprise AI infrastructure solutions, ensuring high performance and flexibility. Candidates will work closely with hardware, firmware, and diagnostics teams to drive scientific progress. The position requires collaboration with various partners to integrate NVIDIA tools and improve factory processes.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in data center firmware, platform software, or factory/manufacturing test software.
  • A BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong Python skills for building production tools and orchestration frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of C/C++, shell, and Linux systems.
  • Solid knowledge of hardware interfaces such as PCIe, USB, and SMBus/I2C.
  • Experience working directly with ODMs, CMs, or CSPs during NPI, bring-up, and volume production.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work well across time zones.

Responsibilities

  • Own the bring-up of new platforms in the factory across every level including board, tray, rack, and cluster.
  • Design the flows that run in the factory, including firmware flashing and version validation.
  • Take tools into partner factories and work with ODMs, CMs, OEMs, and CSPs to define requirements.
  • Utilize AI coding agents to enhance development, testing, and bug filing processes.
  • Trace failures across hardware and software stacks to identify and fix root causes.

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.
