Firmware Engineer

We are looking for an Firmware System Engineer to drive and execute the integration, architecture validation, and system-level bring-up of NVIDIA's next-generation networking products. In this role, you will act as the core technical bridge between Silicon FW, Software, and System Engineering to take cutting-edge products from first-silicon to global mass market.

The dynamic and fast-paced work environment will require you to excel in complex system-level problem-solving and debugging, all while fostering collaboration among exceptional engineers across NVIDIA's global sites.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead the system-level bring-up and validation of next-generation NVIDIA network platforms from pre-silicon simulation to early hardware power-on stages.

• Identify, diagnose, and resolve high-value, complex system bottlenecks across PCIe, memory subsystems, security, and network interoperability.

• Architect and execute advanced functional tests to validate the HW/FW/SW boundary, ensuring seamless interaction across various hardware emulation and testing platforms.

• Develop software tools and automated frameworks to optimize system diagnostics, telemetry, and debugging workflows.

• Collaborate closely with Silicon and FW Design teams to influence and shape future features based on validation insights.

What we need to see:

• B.Sc. or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering.

• 3+ years of overall experience in Firmware, Embedded Systems, Hardware or System Validation Engineering.

• Knowledge in Python or C/C++ for system debugging, automation, or test development.

• Strong system-level understanding and hands-on lab experience with modern hardware protocols (e.g., PCIe, I2C/SPI, and high-speed interfaces).

• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to drive cross-functional alignment across global engineering teams in English.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Deep understanding of computing architectures, including the ability to analyze hardware system block diagrams and schematic sheets.

• Experience with peripherals protocols, network protocols, storage protocols.

• Previous roles as a technical lead, bring-up lead, or system validation owner.
