Are you passionate about architecting the foundational communication and peripheral layers that keep world-class GPUs running efficiently? If so, you’re primed to help develop the core out-of-band and peripheral firmware that powers our next-generation GPU architectures.\nWe are looking for a distinguished Senior Firmware Engineer to become part of our GPU Firmware Development team. Unlike sustainment or support roles, our team is dedicated to active development and innovation from the ground up. You will be tasked with crafting and deploying key firmware within the GPU OOBHUB (Out-of-Band Hub). This firmware manages peripherals seamlessly, updates securely, and monitors communication telemetry reliably. Join us to work with top experts in building robust, high-performance infrastructure for the future of computing.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nCore Development: Build, architect, develop, and debug critical firmware running in the GPU OOBHUB, prioritizing robust peripheral control and secure communication interfaces.\nLifecycle & Update Systems: Build and optimize high-reliability firmware update mechanisms and telemetry systems for next-generation GPU subsystems.\nHardware Interface: Collaborate closely with hardware architects and ASIC designers to initiate new silicon, defining firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols.\nHigh-Integrity Coding: Implement secure, modern firmware solutions, bringing to bear high-reliability languages and principles to ensure system stability.\nCollaborative Innovation: Partner with internal software, hardware, and infrastructure teams to transform brand new architectural features from concepts into production-ready firmware.\nWhat we need to see:\nEducation: BS or MS degree in EE, CS, CE, or equivalent experience.\nExperience: 3+ years of experience in low-level firmware development, embedded systems, or microcontroller programming.\nDomain Expertise: Strong background in managing peripherals and communication stacks via industry-standard protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C/I3C, PCIe, SMBus, MCTP, PLDM).\nProgramming Language: Expert-level C development skills in resource-constrained environments.\nArchitecture Familiarity: Experience working with RISC-V or similar embedded processor architectures.\nEngineering Approach: Deep understanding of software development processes, robust debugging methodologies, and a developer-first approach passionate about writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code.\nCollaboration: Excellent interpersonal abilities enabling close work with hardware designers and diverse engineering groups.\nWays to stand out from the crowd:\nLanguage Advantage: Hands-on experience or familiarity with the Rust programming languages for high-integrity/safety-critical software.\nDeep RISC-V Expertise: Direct experience with RISC-V assembly, custom extensions, or low-level architectural optimizations.\nSecurity Focus: Knowledge of building secure firmware updates, hardware roots of trust (RoT), or handling cryptographic hardware accelerators.\nWith competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the most desirable employers in the world. We have some of the most brilliant and talented people in the world working for us. If you are creative, autonomous and love a challenge, we want to hear from you. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3677,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Computer Components","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T10:28:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T10:55:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9524,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnvidia-firmware-engineer-gpu"}]}
