GPU Firmware Engineer

Do you enjoy hacking and tinkering at the lowest levels of software? Are you capable of crafting and implementing creative secure firmware solutions in heavily resource-constrained environments? If so, you’re primed to help develop the boot software that powers the world’s best GPUs. We are searching for an outstanding software engineer to fill a challenging, yet fun role on our GPU Firmware team in our Taiwan, Taipei Office. You will be joining a team whose primary mission is solving the intricate enigma of securing and innovating the boot process for our GPUs, while dealing with the formidable constraints of boot-time and storage space. Every. Byte. Counts.

This is your chance to create waves in the industry while directly working with and alongside some of the most top-valued diverse minds in the graphics software and GPU business. Your goal will be to craft the future of graphics and computing technologies doing exactly what you enjoy: solving puzzles. If this sounds interesting and you’re up for the task, we’d certainly like to hear from you!

What you'll be doing:

• Design, develop, test, debug, and optimize creative solutions for GPU firmware throughout the entire GPU family lifecycle
• Continuously evaluate and improve the security posture of firmware and hardware that form the root of trust for our products across all our product segments
• Work closely with hardware, software, infrastructure, and business teams to transform new firmware features from idea to reality
• Interact with leading OS, PC and data center vendors to improve and innovate on the startup experience
• Improve team software process and core infrastructure via projects dealing with build systems and auto testing farms

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)
• 4+ years' experience in developing device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level (HW control) software
• Familiar with industry standard including SPI, I2C and specification of PCI-E, UEFI and PLDM
• Deep understanding of software process including requirement analysis, data formalization, interface design and test plan
• Strong C skills
• Even stronger interpersonal skills
• Secure software fundamentals including cryptography, authentication/attestation, and chains of trust
• Easy to work with, as you’ll constantly work closely with both hardware designers and other software engineers to design, develop, and debug functional (and non-functional!) aspects of GPU subsystems

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience in x86/RISCV/ARM assembly and knowledge of the PC/PCIe/UEFI architecture
• A background with display technologies, DP, HDMI, and VGA/VESA specs
• Experience developing for safety critical platforms or experience with formal verification methodologies and negative testing
• Passion for your work

We are widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers, and as a result have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. If you're passionate, creative, and driven, we'd love to have you join the team. 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.
