Senior Memory Subsystem Firmware Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer to join our Memory Subsystem Team. This role focuses on embedded firmware development for NVIDIA's SoC memory subsystem, spanning architecture, pre-silicon validation, and production silicon.

Responsibilities

• Work on hardware/software co-development, pairing embedded software with ASIC design from architecture through deployment in silicon.
• Implement C/C++ embedded firmware for memory subsystem initialization, DRAM training, low-power states, RAS, and telemetry functions.
• Develop C models for hardware IP blocks to validate firmware in pre-silicon environments.
• Support silicon bring-up and lab validation, including board bring-up, log triage, and regression testing.
• Profile and refactor existing embedded firmware to improve code coverage and performance KPIs.
• Apply expertise in software, digital/analog systems, computer architecture, and debugging to solve complex problems.

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of embedded firmware development (internship and new-grad experience may count toward the minimum).
• Understanding of core embedded building blocks: CPUs, memory hierarchies, DMA, timers, interrupt controllers, and interconnect buses.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing bare-metal control firmware optimized for cycle count and memory footprint.
• Proficiency in C/C++, with a solid grasp of data structures, compilers, and build/version-control tooling.
• Strong debugging instincts and ability to decompose unfamiliar problems from first principles.

Skills

• Exposure to DDR/LPDDR/HBM memory technologies (preferred).
• Experience with RTOS or bare-metal embedded firmware (preferred).
• Understanding of SoC boot architecture (preferred).

Pay

Base salary range: $152,000 – $241,500 USD, determined by location, experience, and comparable roles. Eligible for equity and benefits.
