Firmware Architect jobs in Yokneam

As a Physical Layer Firmware Architecture Engineer at NVIDIA, you will undertake an outstanding role to build the future of computer graphics, AI, and high-speed communication protocols. You will direct ambitious projects across teams and translate customer needs into flawless technical specifications for firmware architecture, system embedded software, user interfaces, and high-level development. What you will be doing: • Lead projects across team, starting from processing requirements and definitions from customers and translating those into detailed technical specification for firmware architecture, system embedded software, user interface and high-level design. • Supervise the implementation of projects by team-leaders / developers / QA, participate in low level design reviews, QA test plans reviews, and keep track of changes and handle obstacles. • Define the architecture of implementing physical layer standards into NVIDIA's ASIC devices. • Involved in standard bodies activities and definition of next generation protocols. • Define features for the phy layer, to exploit interoperability between different generations of communication. • Be involved in product definition and the high-speed protocols that the NVIDIA networking devices will support. • Work closely with multi-functional teams - design, backend, system, marketing, firmware, driver, etc. Provide architecture definitions and as a result converge on key design decisions. What We Need to See • BSc degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, with a GPA of 85+ from the University, preferably The Technion • Proven networking knowledge • Excellent problem-solving skills, teamwork, and interpersonal abilities • Strong communication skills and analytical capabilities Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd • Experience in physical layer communication, system, signal integrity, or high-speed data transmission protocols • Familiarity with wire-line physical layer protocols like IEEE 802.3, InfiniBand, PCIe, USB, etc. This role provides an opportunity to collaborate with top-tier talent and join a group committed to expanding the limits of what can be achieved. Your efforts will have a direct impact on NVIDIA’s capacity to compete and lead in the technology sector. Join us and bring innovative solutions to life that shape the future of computing!

We are looking for a Senior Software/Firmware Architect to join NVIDIA’s Host Management group. The architect will develop the next-generation management solutions for NVIDIA networking infrastructure environments. We are a team that values technical depth, clear ownership, and respectful collaboration. We believe great architecture is built through curiosity, rigorous thinking, and close partnership across disciplines. We welcome architects who bring different perspectives, ask hard questions, and want to build systems that matter at scale. Our team handles the software and firmware that support host management flows throughout platform control software, baseboard management controllers, hardware interfaces, data monitoring, restoration processes, energy regulation, module management, and system orchestration. In this role, you will develop architecture, lead multi-departmental teams, and convert complex platform requirements into scalable, reliable, production-ready solutions. What you will be doing: • Lead architecture definition for Host Management SW and FW across NVIDIA networking platforms • Define system flows across host software, embedded firmware, BMC, device firmware, and hardware interfaces • Guide the development of architecture for telemetry, recovery, power management, module management, firmware update flows, and control protocols • Convert product, customer, and platform needs into clear technical specifications and implementation plans • Work closely with SW, FW, HW, validation, program, architecture, and customer-facing teams • Provide technical leadership to engineers implementing complex cross-domain features • Own architecture documentation and communicate technical direction clearly to engineering and leadership What we need to see: • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience • 12+ years of experience in system software, firmware, embedded systems, platform management, or networking systems • Strong background in SW/FW architecture for complex systems • Deep understanding of firmware, embedded software, Linux, BMC, host interfaces, and system-level debug • Experience with protocols or technologies such as PLDM, MCTP, NC-SI, PCIe, I2C, USB, CMIS, Ethernet, InfiniBand, or NVLink • Strong communication skills and experience writing architecture documents, specifications, and technical proposals Ways to stand out from the crowd: • Experience with NVIDIA networking products, DPUs, NICs, Switches, CPO/NPO, or hyperscale data center platforms • Background in host management, BMC architecture, platform firmware, data monitoring, system restoration, power/thermal management, or module management • Experience defining SW/FW interfaces across large multi-team programs • Hands-on background in bring-up, validation, production debug, or customer issue resolution • Track record of leading architecture from early definition through successful product delivery
