Senior System Software Bringup Engineer

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern deep learning - the next era of computing - with the GPU acting as the brain of computers, robots, and self-driving cars that can perceive and understand the world. Today, we are increasingly known as “The AI Computing Company.” We're looking to grow our company and establish teams with the most thoughtful people in the world. 

NVIDIA HGX, MGX and DGX systems deliver the world's leading solutions for enterprise AI infrastructure at scale.  With their end-to-end performance and flexibility, these systems enable researchers and scientists to combine simulation, data analytics, and AI to drive scientific progress on the most powerful end-to-end AI supercomputing platforms. Are you ready to change the next generation of computing? Join us at the forefront of technological advancement.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead and drive system bringup for GPU-centric server platforms in factory and data center environments.

• Design and implement end-to-end factory workflows, including firmware flashing sequences, security provisioning, and deployment of software mitigations.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with data center architects, ODMs, and OEMs to define factory and data center requirements that ensure efficient and reliable production ramp.
