As a Senior Firmware Engineer on our NVLink Firmware Development and Verification team, you will be responsible for performing unit and integration-level firmware verification across both pre-silicon and post-silicon platforms. You will also help enable the firmware and verification infrastructure for our next-generation GPUs, which power high-performance interconnects in multi-GPU systems.

Your primary responsibilities will include collaborating with a combined design and verification team to validate firmware features and functionality, developing verification plans, test cases, and correctness models (primarily in Python) to verify firmware functionality, driving silicon bring-up, feature enablement, and debug activities on GPU systems, working closely with architecture, hardware, and firmware teams on firmware enablement, design-for-debug, and validation strategies, triaging and resolving firmware issues observed during customer qualification or in-field testing, logging and tracking bugs, maintaining coverage metrics, and performing gap analysis, and developing and maintaining automation tools and infrastructure to improve firmware development, regression, and verification workflows.

To succeed in this role, you will need a BS or MS degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, minimum 3+ years of experience in firmware or software verification, strong debugging and analytical skills, proficiency in Python, C, C++, and understanding of object-oriented programming, solid understanding of computer architecture, microprocessors, and microcontroller fundamentals, excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience working across on-site and remote teams, positive attitude and strong team player, and ability to work effectively under tight schedules.

If you have passion for low-level software, firmware development, and debugging, hands-on experience with hardware/software interaction and embedded environments, familiarity with RTOS or RISC-V programming and debugging, proven ability to work independently with minimal supervision, and strong execution discipline and ability to meet schedule commitments, you will stand out from the crowd.
