Responsibilities

Design and implement Microcontroller Firmware for GPU Server platforms, focusing on but not limited to ARM M-class microcontrollers.

Develop C/C++ server manageability features in an RTOS embedded-optimized environment.

Perform hands-on work with microcontroller firmware bring-up, debugging, performance analysis, and coding manageability features for NVIDIA’s Server platforms.

Develop embedded management software to enable reporting and connectivity between server management devices.

Implement register-based communication and DMTF standard messaging protocols for seamless interaction between BMC, GPUs, switches, memory, I/O expanders, sensors, and local microcontroller peripherals.

Design a highly portable microcontroller framework that will be implemented across a wide variety of server management subsystems.

Develop and review code, write and review design documents, and collaborate with team members to meet product requirements.

Instrument code for maximum coverage, automate unit tests, maintain detailed test case reports, and provide software quality reports based on static analysis, code coverage, and microcontroller load.

Collaborate with security and hardware teams to ensure code aligns with security goals and influence hardware design and architecture review.

Develop performance-optimized active monitoring BMC solutions using DMTF Standards such as MCTP, Redfish, SPDM, and PLDM specifications.
