Full Job Description

Do you excel at developing robust, secure firmware at the intersection of hardware and low-level software? Are you passionate about architecting the foundational communication and peripheral layers that keep world-class GPUs running efficiently? If so, you’re primed to help develop the core out-of-band and peripheral firmware that powers our next-generation GPU architectures. We are looking for a distinguished Senior Firmware Engineer to become part of our GPU Firmware Development team. Unlike sustainment or support roles, our team is dedicated to active development and innovation from the ground up. 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. Join us to work with top experts in building robust, high-performance infrastructure for the future of computing. **What you’ll be doing:** * Core Development: Build, architect, develop, and debug critical firmware running in the GPU OOBHUB, prioritizing robust peripheral control and secure communication interfaces. * Lifecycle & Update Systems: Build and optimize high-reliability firmware update mechanisms and telemetry systems for next-generation GPU subsystems. * Hardware Interface: Collaborate closely with hardware architects and ASIC designers to initiate new silicon, defining firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols. * High-Integrity Coding: Implement secure, modern firmware solutions, bringing to bear high-reliability languages and principles to ensure system stability. * Collaborative Innovation: Partner with internal software, hardware, and infrastructure teams to transform brand new architectural features from concepts into production-ready firmware. **What we need to see:** * 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 m
