## Description

As a member of our NVLink Firmware Development and Verification team, you will be responsible for performing unit and integration-level firmware verification across both pre-silicon and post-silicon platforms. You will also help enable the firmware and verification infrastructure for our next-generation GPUs, which power high-performance interconnects in multi-GPU systems. Experience or familiarity with high-performance computing systems, interconnects, or networking protocols and architectures is a plus.

What you'll be doing:

 + Collaborate within a combined design and verification team to validate firmware features and functionality.

 + Develop verification plans, test cases, and correctness models (primarily in Python) to verify firmware functionality.

 + Drive silicon bring-up, feature enablement, and debug activities on GPU systems.

 + Work closely with architecture, hardware, and firmware teams on firmware enablement, design-for-debug, and validation strategies.

 + Triage and resolve firmware issues observed during customer qualification or in-field testing.

 + Log and track bugs, maintain coverage metrics, and perform gap analysis.

 + Develop and maintain automation tools and infrastructure to improve firmware development, regression, and verification workflows.
