NVIDIA has been redefining accelerated networking for AI, cloud, HPC, and storage for more than a decade. We develop groundbreaking technologies that drive the data growth of the world’s largest companies. With exceptional engineers around the globe, our environment is dynamic, results-oriented, and fast-paced. Join a multidisciplinary group developing firmware, hardware simulation integrations, and diagnostics solutions — combining low-level engineering with advanced tools and AI workflows to bring NVIDIA’s next-generation networking products from concept to production.

What you’ll be doing:

Design and develop firmware features and infrastructure for NVIDIA NICs and Switches, working closely with hardware and architecture teams.
Integrate firmware with hardware simulators, enabling early development, validation, and debugging of next-generation devices.
Develop firmware diagnostics and tracing solutions spanning embedded code, host tools, and analysis workflows.
Investigate complex firmware–hardware interactions across simulation environments and physical devices, collaborating with firmware, silicon, and simulator teams.
Build automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve firmware development, validation, and root-cause analysis.

What we need to see:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in firmware or embedded software development.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ and low-level programming.
Excellent data analysis, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
Solid understanding of computer architecture, firmware–hardware interactions, embedded processors, and Linux.
Hands-on experience with Python, Linux scripting, and software development tools.
Highly motivated, independent, and effective communicator who enjoys working across technical disciplines.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

Experience with RISC-V architecture, hardware simulators, or firmware development before silicon availability.
Experience developing firmware tracing, logging, diagnostics, or debugging tools.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated firmware validation environments.
Experience applying AI-assisted development tools or building AI workflows for engineering tasks.
Hands-on experience with hardware bring-up, register-level debugging, or integrating embedded firmware with host-side tools.

Our teams include some of the most forward-thinking and talented engineers in the world. Due to exceptional growth, our engineering organization is rapidly expanding. If you’re a passionate, creative, and self-driven engineer with a love for technology — we want to hear from you!
