Senior Firmware Engineer - GPU

Do you excel at developing robust, secure firmware at the intersection of hardware and low-level software? We are looking for a distinguished Senior Firmware Engineer to become part of our GPU Firmware Development team.

As a Senior Firmware Engineer, 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.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build, architect, develop, and debug critical firmware running in the GPU OOBHUB, prioritizing robust peripheral control and secure communication interfaces.
• Build and optimize high-reliability firmware update mechanisms and telemetry systems for next-generation GPU subsystems.
• Collaborate closely with hardware architects and ASIC designers to initiate new silicon, defining firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols.
• Implement secure, modern firmware solutions, bringing to bear high-reliability languages and principles to ensure system stability.
• Partner with internal software, hardware, and infrastructure teams to transform brand new architectural features from concepts into production-ready firmware.

Requirements:

• Education: BS or MS degree in EE, CS, CE, or equivalent experience.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in low-level firmware development, embedded systems, or microcontroller programming.
• Domain Expertise: Strong background in managing peripherals and communication stacks via industry-standard protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C/I3C, PCIe, SMBus, MCTP, PLDM).
• Programming Language: Expert-level C development skills in resource-constrained environments.
• Architecture Familiarity: Experience working with RISC-V or similar embedded processor architectures.
• Engineering Approach: Deep understanding of software development processes, robust debugging methodologies, and a developer-first approach passionate about writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
• Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal abilities enabling close work with hardware designers and diverse engineering groups.

Nice to Have:

• Language Advantage: Hands-on experience or familiarity with the Ada or SPARK programming languages for high-integrity/safety-critical software.
• Deep RISC-V Expertise: Direct experience with RISC-V assembly, custom extensions, or low-level architectural optimizations.
• Security Focus: Knowledge of building secure firmware updates, hardware roots of trust (RoT), or handling cryptographic hardware accelerators.
