Senior Firmware Engineer - LPU

About this role

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. Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4/5, DDR4/5, SerDes, Ethernet) and common peripheral buses (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN). Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware/software boundaries

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd: Experience with firmware for AI/ML hardware or datacenter-scale systems. Proven ability to deliver high-quality firmware in complex, cross-functional environments. Expe
