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
