| Aspect | Firmware Quality Engineer | Firmware Test Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Ensuring overall firmware quality, process improvement, defect prevention | Executing tests, identifying bugs, validating firmware functionality |
| Responsibilities | Quality assurance strategies, process audits, defect analysis | Test case development, manual/automated testing, bug reporting |
| Skills & Certifications | Knowledge of quality standards (ISO, CMMI), testing tools, firmware development | Testing tools, scripting, firmware debugging skills |
| Work Environment | Collaborates with development, QA teams, often in manufacturing or embedded systems | Primarily in testing labs, embedded systems environments |
Firmware Quality Engineers focus on the overall quality processes and defect prevention, while Firmware Test Engineers concentrate on executing tests and identifying bugs. Both roles require related skills and often work closely in firmware development projects, but their core responsibilities differ in scope and focus.

Join NVIDIA as a Senior Firmware Engineer and be part of something truly outstanding!
In this role, you'll collaborate with a world-class team at the forefront of AI and accelerated computing technology! In this role you'll drive the development of low-level firmware powering NVIDIA's AI-accelerator hardware. This is an opportunity to influence key technical decisions, shape system behavior, and deliver high-quality firmware for cutting-edge platforms.
What You'll Be Doing:
Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack (bootloader, drivers, RTOS, and system services).
Develop firmware specifications and define clear interface behaviors across system components.
Profile, optimize, and validate latency-critical code paths to ensure strong performance and reliability.
Collaborate with hardware, silicon, system software, and AI teams to define interfaces and support system integration.
Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving firmware and hardware interactions.
Contribute to system bring-up, validation, and continuous improvements in firmware quality and robustness.
What We Need to See:
B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
8+ years of professional firmware development experience on complex SoC/ASIC platforms.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C11 or later), with solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming.
Experience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX) and/or bare-metal firmware.
Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4/5, DDR4/5, SerDes, Ethernet) and common peripheral buses (SPI, IC, UART, CAN).
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware/software boundaries.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:
Experience with firmware for AI/ML hardware or datacenter-scale systems.
Proven ability to deliver high-quality firmware in complex, cross-functional environments.
Experience with system bring-up, validation, and performance tuning.
Familiarity with firmware testing frameworks and automation.
Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive effective technical solutions.
With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most brilliant people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our teams are rapidly growing. Are you passionate about becoming a part of a best-in-class team supporting the latest in GPU and AI technology? If so, we want to hear from you.
