Join NVIDIA as a Senior Firmware Engineer and be part of something truly outstanding! In this role, you'll collaborate with a world-class team at the forefront of AI and accelerated computing technology! In this role you'll drive the development of low-level firmware powering NVIDIA’s AI-accelerator hardware. This is an opportunity to influence key technical decisions, shape system behavior, and deliver high-quality firmware for cutting-edge platforms. What You'll Be Doing: Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack (bootloader, drivers, RTOS, and system services). Develop firmware specifications and define clear interface behaviors across system components. Profile, optimize, and validate latency-critical code paths to ensure strong performance and reliability. Collaborate with hardware, silicon, system software, and AI teams to define interfaces and support system integration. Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving firmware and hardware interactions. Contribute to system bring-up, validation, and continuous improvements in firmware quality and robustness. What We Need to See: B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience. 8+ years of professional firmware development experience on complex SoC/ASIC platforms. Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C11 or later), with solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming. Experience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX) and/or bare-metal firmware.
