## Description

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior SBIOS Firmware Engineer to join their firmware team. The successful candidate will help customers bring NVIDIA platforms to life, from initial system bring-up and reference platform qualification through deployment at scale. The role involves working at the intersection of firmware engineering, platform architecture, and customer enablement.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Develop, integrate, and debug SBIOS firmware for NVIDIA datacenter reference platforms and customer systems.

- Collaborate with customers, OEMs, and ODMs to resolve firmware issues, guide platform integration, and translate deployment requirements into engineering improvements.

- Support reference platforms across the product lifecycle, establishing validated firmware configurations, documenting platform behavior, and making solutions reusable across customer designs.

- Investigate complex issues across firmware, hardware, BMC, and operating system boundaries.

- Partner with hardware, firmware, software, validation, and customer engineering teams to drive issue resolution and customer adoption.

- Utilize AI-assisted development, debugging, and automation to analyze logs, accelerate root cause investigation, and improve test coverage.

- Develop diagnostic tools, automated tests, and technical guidance to improve platform readiness and customer deployment.

- Communicate technical findings, risks, and resolution plans clearly to internal teams and external partners.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience.

- Strong experience developing and debugging System BIOS/UEFI firmware on ARM or x86 server platforms.

- Solid understanding of server architecture, including processor initialization, memory systems, PCIe, interrupts, boot flows, and interactions among SBIOS, BMC, and the operating system.

- Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex system issues using firmware logs, operating system diagnostics, hardware interfaces, and structured experiments.

- Experience supporting server bring-up, platform qualification, or customer deployment.

- Strong C programming skills and experience using Python or shell scripting to build diagnostic tools and automate engineering workflows.

- Hands-on experience applying AI tools to software development, debugging, testing, or technical analysis.

- Understanding of server reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS), firmware security, and production datacenter environments.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

**Nice to Have:**

- Proven experience enabling customer deployments of NVIDIA CPU or GPU server platforms.

- Deep expertise in ARM server architecture, UEFI, ACPI, SMBIOS, or firmware interfaces with Linux.

- Experience debugging issues that span SBIOS, BMC, and platform management interfaces.

- A track record of building AI-assisted engineering workflows that improve debugging speed, software quality, or customer support efficiency.

- Experience turning reference platform designs and lessons from customer deployments into reusable tools, documentation, and validation coverage.

The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
