Internship Nvidia Hardware Engineer Jobs in Wisconsin

Principal BIOS Embedded Software EngineerThis role has been designed as ''Onsite' with an expectation that you will primarily work from an HPE office.

Job Description:

Designs, develops, troubleshoots, and debugs BIOS and platform firmware for new high-performance computing products. This role works close to the hardware, including processor initialization, chipset and board bring-up, hardware interfaces, system monitoring, networking-related platform enablement, and diagnostic tools. The developer identifies hardware and firmware compatibility issues, influences hardware design and validation, and helps deliver reliable firmware for complex server platforms.

Contributions include applying deep BIOS and platform-firmware expertise to solve complex technical problems, evaluate alternatives, and drive issues to closure across hardware and software boundaries. The role may act as a technical project lead, guide development approaches, and provide assistance to less experienced engineers. The developer exercises sound judgment, consults with cross-functional partners, and selects effective methods for accomplishing work and achieving program goals.

How You'll Make Your Mark

In this role, you will help bring up and enable complex HPC platforms by working across BIOS, hardware, operating system, and validation boundaries. You will contribute to early platform definition, firmware implementation, debug, and release readiness for systems where reliability, performance, and hardware integration are critical.

• Designs, develops, and maintains BIOS enhancements, updates, and programming changes for server and high-performance computing platforms.

• Assesses design, coding, integration, and validation activities based on product goals, platform architecture, hardware dependencies, and firmware requirements.

• Writes and executes test plans, protocols, and documentation for assigned BIOS and platform-firmware areas; identifies, debugs, and resolves issues related to firmware behavior, hardware initialization, and integration with the broader system architecture.

• Leads or coordinates project work with software engineers, hardware partners, BIOS vendors, and development partners to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality firmware solutions for assigned subsystems.

• Collaborates and communicates with management, internal teams, and outsourced development partners on firmware design status, project progress, technical risks, and issue resolution.

• Represents the system software engineering team through all phases of larger, more complex BIOS and platform-firmware development programs.

• Provides guidance and mentoring to less-experienced staff members.

About You

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent.

• Minimum 15 years of experience in embedded software development.

• Minimum 10 years of experience in BIOS development.

• Expertise with software systems design tools and programming languages used in platform firmware development, including C and C++.

• Expertise with BIOS technologies across multiple processor families, chipsets, and platform architectures.

• Expertise with UEFI firmware development, including platform initialization, driver development, debugging, and integration.

• Experience porting BIOS from a third-party vendor implementation to a proprietary platform.

• Experience with AMD, Nvidia or Intel

• Experience with Linux development environments, build tools, scripting, and firmware debug workflows.

• Strong analytical, assessment, and problem-solving skills, especially for complex hardware, firmware, and system integration issues.

• Experience designing software systems that run across multiple platform types and hardware configurations.

• Experience with firmware testing methodologies, including test-plan creation, debug workflows, automation, test scripts, and tools.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical issues, tradeoffs, and recommendations in English.

• Ability to communicate product architectures, firmware design proposals, technical tradeoffs, and recommended options effectively with engineering teams and management.

Preferred qualifications include experience with server platform bring-up, silicon initialization, ACPI, SMBIOS, IPMI or Redfish-related firmware interfaces, secure boot, firmware update flows, board-level debug tools, and collaboration with BIOS vendors or silicon partners.
