Full Job Description
NVIDIA is 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. 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? **What you will be doing:** * 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 **What we need to see:** * 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, an
