NVIDIA's invention of the GPU fueled the PC gaming market. The company's groundbreaking work in accelerated computing-a supercharged form of computing at the intersection of computer graphics, high performance computing and AI-is reshaping industries, such as transportation, healthcare and manufacturing, and fueling the growth of others. In 2020, NVIDIA acquired Mellanox, a leading supplier of end-to-end Ethernet and InfiniBand intelligent interconnect solutions and services for servers, storage, and hyper-converged infrastructure. Mellanox increase data center efficiency by providing the highest throughput and lowest latency, delivering data faster to applications and unlocking system performance.

We are looking for an excellent Software Engineer to join the NIC Firmware team. The Firmware team develops innovative networking features for cloud, HPC and storage.

What you will be doing:

  • Work closely with the architecture and different software design teams.

  • Implement new features in the core of Mellanox NIC firmware.

  • Develop verification tests for advanced features in a highly complex and sophisticated Firmware testing environment.

  • Gain a deep understanding of system debug, networking technology and stacks, as well as the HW/FW/SW relationship.

  • You will learn how a big software project is operated, maintained, qualified and released, and how Hardware and Firmware are developed.

What we need to see:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience in the field.

  • 5+ years of professional software development experience.

  • Strong proficiency in C and C++.

  • Solid understanding of networking protocols.

  • Experience with PCIe and virtualization technologies.

  • Excellent grasp of data structures and algorithms fundamentals.

  • Scripting experience with Python and/or Bash.

  • Strong analytical, debugging, and problemsolving skills.

  • Selfmotivated, independent, and a great teammate with excellent interpersonal skills.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Deep familiarity with RDMA stacks (RoCE, InfiniBand) and lowlatency networking.

  • Experience in highperformance or largescale compute environments.

  • Proven experience with distributed systems and scalability challenges.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.

Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 152,000 USD - 241,500 USD for Level 3, and 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4.
