Do you enjoy hacking and tinkering at the lowest levels of software? Are you capable of crafting and implementing creative secure solutions in heavily resource-constrained environments? If so, you’re primed to join our team in developing the tools and infrastructure that support the software and firmware that boot the world’s best GPUs.
We are searching for an outstanding software engineer to fill a challenging, yet fun role on our GPU Firmware team. You will be joining a team whose primary mission is designing and implementing world-class automation, tools, and practices to improve, unlock and accelerate the innovations of firmware that defines the cutting edge of GPU technology. In the world of firmware, where tight requirements of security, boot-time, storage space act as constraints to all solutions: Every. Byte. Counts. This is your chance to create waves in the industry while directly working with and alongside some of the most top-valued diverse set of minds in the business. Your goal will be to shape the future of GPU technologies doing exactly what you enjoy: solving puzzles. If this sounds exciting and you’re up for the task, we’d certainly like to hear from you!
What you’ll be doing:
Improve team software process and core infrastructure by enhancing and designing tooling, build systems, and regression farms
Design, develop, test, debug, and optimize creative solutions for GPU firmware throughout the entire GPU lifecycle
Work closely with hardware, software, infrastructure, and business teams to transform new infrastructure features from idea to reality
Work with leading OS and PC vendors to improve and innovate on the startup experience
Create, document, and automate workflows, processes, and tooling for internal-facing and external-facing team projects
What we need to see:
BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)
4+ yrs experience
Automation experience with modern CI/CD tools
Sturdy technical background in cloud/distributed infrastructure
In depth understanding of database concepts and object modeling.
Strong grasp of software development lifecycle and coding practices
Strong Python, C, and scripting skills
Even stronger interpersonal skills
Sense of humor highly encouraged, but not required
Easy to work with, as you’ll constantly be engaged with both hardware designers and other software engineers to design, develop, and debug functional (and non-functional!) aspects of GPU subsystems and infrastructure
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience with static/dynamic code analysis, tooling, and build automation
Experience in developing device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level software
Familiarity with SQL language and one or more SQL database ecosystems
Experience with secure development techniques such as threat models, attack-trees, static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and negative testing
Passion for optimizing and unlocking the potential of yourself and others through your work

What We Do
NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing — with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, NVIDIA is increasingly known as “the AI computing company.”
