Principal Software Engineer, GPU Firmware and GPU System Software — CSP Engagements

Job summary

We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our CSP Engagements team as the technical focal point for GPU firmware and GPU system software, working directly with engineering teams of key CSP / hyperscale customers to ensure they can reliably manage, update, and operate NVI*** GPU firmware at fleet scale.

Benefits

Qualifications

• e.g., multi-tenancy isolation, secure boot, attestation), and performance — and champion those priorities into NVI***'s GPU firmware/software feature roadmap and delivery plan
• Drive GPU firmware update orchestration for large-scale deployments — multi-GPU update sequencing, rollback strategy, failure handling, and validation across hundreds of GPUs per rack
• Identify cross-CSP GPU SW/FW issue patterns — common update failures, recovery gaps, and configuration problems — and drive documentation, tooling, and test strategy improvements
• What we need to see:
• 15+ years of experience in GPU system software, GPU firmware, or accelerator platform engineering.
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Deep understanding of GPU architecture internals: streaming multiprocessors, GEMM execution, compute kernels, memory hierarchy, and how firmware/driver decisions impact GPU compute performance
• Understanding of multi-GPU fabric architectures (NVLink, or similar) and how firmware coordinates across multiple GPUs in a rack-scale system
• Understanding of GPU firmware architecture: VBIOS, GPU microcontroller firmware, InfoROM, and their interaction with the GPU driver stack
• Experience with firmware update lifecycle management at scale: multi-device update sequencing, A/B updates, rollback, staged rollout, emergency recovery
• Understanding of GPU error handling and recovery flows — how firmware-level errors propagate through the driver stack to application-visible failures
• Experience with GPU health monitoring and telemetry: Xid errors, thermal events, power events, ECC counters, and their significance for firmware/software teams
