As a member of 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. Experience or familiarity with high-performance computing systems, interconnects, or networking protocols and architectures is a plus.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborate within a combined design and verification team to validate firmware features and functionality.

• Develop verification plans, test cases, and correctness models (primarily in Python) to verify firmware functionality.

• Drive silicon bring-up, feature enablement, and debug activities on GPU systems.

• Work closely with architecture, hardware, and firmware teams on firmware enablement, design-for-debug, and validation strategies.

• Triage and resolve firmware issues observed during customer qualification or in-field testing.

• Log and track bugs, maintain coverage metrics, and perform gap analysis.

• Develop and maintain automation tools and infrastructure to improve firmware development, regression, and verification workflows.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Minimum 6+ 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; able to work effectively under tight schedules.

• Software development or verification experience is a plus.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• 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.

• Strong execution discipline and ability to meet schedule commitments.
