## Description

We are seeking a driven and technically exceptional Firmware Manager to lead pre-silicon firmware development within the NVLink Switches & GPU Networking group in Tel-Aviv/Raanana.

This is a unique opportunity to be at the very front of networking innovation - shaping the firmware that powers NVIDIA's next-generation NVLink interconnect technologies before silicon even exists.

As a Firmware Manager, you will be responsible for the pre-silicon execution and strategy end-to-end: from early initiation and architecture engagement, simulation environments to model-based development and hardware-based bring-up. You will operate across multiple fields influencing outcomes beyond your direct team through strong technical authority and multi-functional cooperative efforts.

The work environment is dynamic, exciting, and fast-paced. Are you ready for the challenge?

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of highly skilled firmware engineers, fostering a culture of ownership and innovation.

- Drive the development planning and execution for the FW for NVLink Switch - from architecture definition through emulation validation and simulation platforms.

- Navigate firmware development across all layers: low-level silicon bring-up, SDK interfaces, HW and OS integration.

- Proactively identify development risks and drive mitigation plans through to resolution, owning program planning and schedule, from pre-silicon to post-silicon.

- Continuously evolve pre-silicon development processes, toolchains, and methodologies and innovate to increase team velocity and first-silicon success rates.

- Innovate! Bring NVIDIA’s Networking products to shine in customer’s view

**Requirements:**

- B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering; 2+ years of engineering management experience and 8+ overall years overall in firmware or embedded software.

- Deep understanding of SW & FW architecture across multiple layers: silicon bring-up, power management, security, and OS/SDK interfaces.

- Hands-on experience in pre-silicon development environments: simulation, emulation.

- Proven ability to drive outcomes across matrixed, multi-team environments with strong risk identification and solution-oriented planning

- Strong communicator - able to translate deeply technical topics for diverse audiences, from chip architects to senior leadership.

- Detail-oriented and comfortable with multitasking in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities and changing requirements.

- An excellent teammate with good communication skills.

**Nice to Have:**

- Knowledge of network protocols.

- End-to-end experience in both pre-silicon AND post-silicon firmware bring-up for a complex SoC or ASIC

- A track record of driving firmware across the full silicon journey: from power management and security subsystems (secure boot, attestation, root-of-trust) in pre-silicon, through SDK and OS-level integration as the product matures to post-silicon.
