BMC Firmware Developer

NVIDIA’s invention of the GPU in 1999 fueled 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. Are you ready to change the next generation of computing? Join us at the forefront of technological advancement. 

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing, implementing, and delivering innovations for managing GPU based AI servers with focus on OOB management, firmware development, server architecture and building systems for enterprise.

• Working with a global team of BMC developers on NVIDIA server designs.

• Designing and developing performance optimized active monitoring BMC solutions using DMTF Standards including MCTP, Redfish, SPDM and PLDM specifications.

• Instrumenting code to ensure maximum code coverage, writing and automating unit tests for each implemented module and maintain detailed unit test case reports.
