The MCU firmware team is searching for a Technical Manager to lead the development of MCU firmware and software for the next generation of GPU modules. In this role, you will be the primary technical driver for MCU solutions deployed on NVIDIA DGX servers, GPU baseboards, and Tesla boards. You will lead a team of high-performing engineers, but your core focus will be on architectural integrity, technical problem-solving, and driving project milestones. We are looking for a leader who is happiest when they are "in the weeds" of firmware design and ensuring seamless hardware-software integration.
What you'll be doing:
Technical Roadmap & Architecture: Lead the definition, architectural design, and development of MCU firmware for NVIDIA DGX products.
Project Driving: Act as the technical "engine" for the team—managing project timelines, identifying technical bottlenecks, and ensuring the team meets aggressive delivery schedules.
Hands-on Problem Solving: Serve as the final point of escalation for complex firmware bugs and system-level integration issues.
Standards Leadership: Define and oversee software development processes to ensure MCU standards are met. Design and recommend MCU solutions that satisfy DGX/GPU server requirements.
Review & Mentorship: Conduct deep-dive code reviews and design sessions to maintain high-quality firmware standards across the team.
Cross-Functional Alignment: Coordinate with Hardware, BMC, and SBIOS teams to define MCU interfaces and ensure system-level stability.
What we need to see:
8+ overall years of experience in embedded firmware development, including more than 3 years of successful team management experience with a proven track record of leading technical projects or teams.
Bachelors or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
MCU Hardware Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with hardware peripherals including I2C, I3C, SPI, and USB.
Software Stack Expertise: Extensive experience in building and implementing MCU software. Familiarity with DMTF PLDM and MCTP standards is a significant plus.
RTOS & Environment: Strong background in embedded software development in Linux environments, specifically with FreeRTOS or Zephyr.
Core Engineering Skills: Expert-level programming skills in C/C++, algorithms, and data structures. A deep understanding of computer architecture and operating system fundamentals.
Technical Leadership: Demonstrated ability to drive complex technical issues to resolution with little or no supervision, focusing on execution and "getting things done."
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
System Design Background: A thorough understanding of not just the firmware, but the solid grasp of system design, use case requirements, and the full software stack.
Ecosystem Knowledge: Background with SBIOS and BMC firmware integration is a major advantage.
Resilience: Excellent communication skills and the ability to remain flexible and focused while working under pressure and tight deadlines.
Autonomous Driving: A "player-coach" mentality—the ability to work independently while motivating a team toward a common technical goal.
With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the most desirable employers in the world. We have some of the most brilliant and talented people in the world working for us. If you are creative, autonomous and love a challenge, we want to hear from you. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
