Firmware Integration and Automation Engineer- Silicon Solution Group

NVIDIA's GPUs and SOCs lead the world in performance and efficiency, and we are always innovating to deliver outstanding solutions across a wide range of sectors. We are seeking Firmware Integration & Automation Engineers who are passionate about making a difference through their inventions. As a member of the Silicon Solution Group (SSG), you would play a significant role in chip/product bring-up and validation, collaborating with different teams to drive/develop automation solutions for silicon/platform test coverage and improving test efficiency for chip characterization.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop and maintain prototype FPGA/MCU Firmware of reference board to facilitate silicon feature qualification.
• Drive requirements for emulation platform features that enable efficient validation workflows and design automated validation frameworks for validation tools/test cases running on FPGA emulation environments
• Implement continuous integration/continuous deployment pipelines for automated validation
• Implement process improvements to accelerate automation and increase verification efficiency
• Identify and communicate debug infrastructure needs (visibility, controllability, trace capabilities)
• Analyze test automation failures, debug firmware and hardware issues using emulation tools and methodologies and coordinate with multi-functional teams to resolve issues

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• 6 years+ experience in firmware development and pre-silicon validation
• Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, or similar languages
• Experience with FPGA emulation platforms (Palladium, Veloce, Zebu, or similar)
• Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces and protocols
• Knowledge of hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL)
• Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem-solving, good time management, and task prioritization skills.
• Proficient in English, both written and verbal.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Good system validation knowledge, including CPU, memory, GPU, PCIE, and thermal/power control.
• Background in SoC or processor validation
• Experience with test management and defect tracking tools
