Nvidia Senior System Software Engineer Platform - Server Embedded Firmware 

United States, Texas 

920452517

What you’ll be doing:

• Design and implement Microcontroller Firmware for GPU Server platforms, focusing on but not limited to ARM M-class microcontrollers.

• Develop C/C++ server manageability features in an RTOS embedded-optimized environment.

• Perform hands-on work with microcontroller firmware bring-up, debugging, performance analysis, and coding manageability features for NVIDIA’s Server platforms.

• Develop embedded management software to enable reporting and connectivity between server management devices.

• Implement register-based communication and DMTF standard messaging protocols for seamless interaction between BMC, GPUs, switches, memory, I/O expanders, sensors, and local microcontroller peripherals.

• Design a highly portable microcontroller framework that will be implemented across a wide variety of server management subsystems. Develop and review code, write and review design documents, and collaborate with team members to meet product requirements.

• Instrument code for maximum coverage, automate unit tests, maintain detailed test case reports, and provide software quality reports based on static analysis, code coverage, and microcontroller load.

• Collaborate with security and hardware teams to ensure code aligns with security goals and influence hardware design and architecture review. Developperformance-optimizedactive monitoring BMC solutions using DMTF Standards such as MCTP, Redfish, SPDM, and PLDM specifications.

What we need to see:

• A Bachelor of Science Degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• 5+ years of experience in low level microcontroller Firmware development on embedded microcontrollers using Zephyr or FreeRTOS

• Demonstrated experience in developing BMC and/or microcontroller firmware for managing CPU, GPU, Network and Storage Devices.

• Experience with the following embedded interfaces - USB and I3C. Sound experience working with ARM Integrated Development Environments (IDE), debuggers, logic and protocol analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

• A deep understanding of interrupt schemes, multi-threading, DMA, memory management, and working in resource restricted embedded environments.

• Strong embedded programming and scripting skills using C/C++, Bash, Python, Go, etc.

• Experience reviewing and using hardware schematics, reference manuals, and datasheets for embedded development.

• Expertise working with server manageability protocols such as MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, SMBUS, and OCP recovery.

• Solid understanding of Linux fundamentals, various distributions, packages, upgrade mechanisms, and image building/deployment.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Hands on experience working with microcontroller embedded firmware development and OOB management

• Hands-on experience implementing MCTP stack in embedded environments or FPGA. Contributor to industry groups like Open Compute, OpenBMC, DMTF and open source.

• Expertise in system software and platform security for x86/ARM based Rack/Blade server systems.
