Senior Firmware Engineer - LPU

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, driving 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.

• Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack (boot loader, 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.

• 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 a solid understanding of low‑level hardware interaction and system programming.
• Experience with real‑time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, Thread
  
  X) and/or bare‑metal firmware.
• Hands‑on experience with high‑speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4/5, DDR4/5, Ser Des, Ethernet) and common peripheral buses (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN).
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills across hardware/software boundaries.

• Experience with firmware for AI/ML hardware or datacenter‑scale systems.
• Proven ability to deliver high‑quality firmware in complex, cross‑functional environments.
• Experience with system bring‑up, validation, and performance tuning.
• Familiarity with firmware testing frameworks and automation.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive effective technical solutions.

Competitive salaries and a generous benefits package are offered, with base salary ranges of 184,000 USD to 287,500 USD for Level 4 and 224,000 USD to 356,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
