Company Overview
NVIDIA has been transforming computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years. Its a unique legacy of innovation thats fueled by great technologyand amazing people. Today, were tapping into the unlimited potential of AI to define the next era of computing. An era in which our GPU acts as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can understand the world. Doing whats never been done before takes vision, innovation, and the worlds best talent. As an NVIDIAN, youll be immersed in a diverse, supportive environment where everyone is inspired to do their best work. Come join the team and see how you can make a lasting impact on the world. NVIDIA's Switch Architecture group is hiring a junior Firmware Architect for the Advanced Development team. The team works on early-stage exploration of switching technologies implementing proof-of-concept firmware, building simulation tools for pre-silicon architecture decisions, and turning open questions into detailed technical findings. You will run proof-of-concept explorations and contribute to an architectural simulator that develops design choices before silicon. At NVIDIA, we are at the forefront of innovation, leading the way in computer graphics, AI, and accelerated computing. Our collaborative setting, combined with ambitious goals, will enable you to work closely with ASIC and software teams to pioneer innovative solutions.
What you will be doing:
Implement firmware proof-of-concept code to assess new switching technologies, protocols, and architectural approaches
Contribute to an in-house architecture simulator used for pre-silicon build exploration and latency modeling
Collaborate with ASIC architects and firmware engineers to translate architectural decisions into working prototypes
Document proof-of-concept outcomes and help translate findings into actionable team decisions
Identify promising technologies and innovation opportunities aligned with our networking roadmap
Creating AI and agentic frameworks for Firmware Architecture Group
What we need to see:
B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science (excellent grades)
Experience in firmware, embedded systems, or systems programming
Strong coding skills and ability to implement from scratch at the proof-of-concept level or with equivalent experience
