NVIDIA is seeking a driven and technically exceptional Firmware Manager to lead pre-silicon firmware development within the NVLink Switches & GPU Networking group In Tel-Aviv/Raanana.
This is a unique opportunity to be at the very front of networking innovation - shaping the firmware that powers NVIDIA's next-generation NVLink interconnect technologies before silicon even exists.
You will be responsible for the pre-silicon execution and strategy end-to-end: from early initiation and architecture engagement, simulation environments to model-based development and hardware-based bring-up. You will operate across multiple fields influencing outcomes beyond your direct team through strong technical authority and multi-functional cooperative efforts. The work environment is dynamic, exciting, and fast-paced. Are you ready for the challenge?
What you will be doing:
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of highly skilled firmware engineers, fostering a culture of ownership and innovation.
- Drive the development planning and execution for the FW for NVLink Switch - from architecture definition through emulation validation and simulation platforms.
- Navigate firmware development across all layers: low-level silicon bring-up, SDK interfaces, HW and OS integration.
- Proactively identify development risks and drive mitigation plans through to resolution, owning program planning and schedule, from pre-silicon to post-silicon.
- Continuously evolve pre-silicon development processes, toolchains, and methodologies and innovate to increase team velocity and first-silicon success rates.
- Innovate! Bring NVIDIA’s Networking products to shine in customer’s view
What we need to see:
- B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering; 2+ years of engineering management experience and 8+ overall years overall in firmware or embedded software.
- Deep understanding of SW & FW architecture across multiple layers: silicon bring-up, power management, security, and OS/SDK interfaces.
- Hands-on experience in pre-silicon development environments: simulation, emulation.
- Proven ability to drive outcomes across matrixed, multi-team environments with strong risk identification and solution-oriented planning
- Strong communicator - able to translate deeply technical topics for diverse audiences, from chip architects to senior leadership.
- Detail-oriented and comfortable with multitasking in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities and changing requirements.
- An excellent teammate with good communication skills.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Knowledge of network protocols.
- End-to-end experience in both pre-silicon AND post-silicon firmware bring-up for a complex SoC or ASIC
- A track record of driving firmware across the full silicon journey: from power management and security subsystems (secure boot, attestation, root-of-trust) in pre-silicon, through SDK and OS-level integration as the product matures to post-silicon.
