Senior Software Firmware Architect, Host Management

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 platformsDefine system flows across host software, embedded firmware, BMC, device firmware, and hardware interfacesGuide the development of architecture for telemetry, recovery, power management, module management, firmware update flows, and control protocolsConvert product, customer, and platform needs into clear technical specifications and implementation plansWork closely with SW, FW, HW, validation, program, architecture, and customer-facing teamsProvide technical leadership to engineers implementing complex cross-domain featuresOwn architecture documentation and communicate technical direction clearly to engineering and leadershipWhat we need to see:B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience12+ years of experience in system software, firmware, embedded systems, platform management, or networking systemsStrong background in SW/FW architecture for complex systemsDeep understanding of firmware, embedded software, Linux, BMC, host interfaces, and system-level debugExperience with protocols or technologies such as PLDM, MCTP, NC-SI, PCIe, I2C, USB, CMIS, Ethernet, InfiniBand, or NVLinkStrong communication skills and experience writing architecture documents, specifications, and technical proposalsWays to stand out from the crowd:Experience with NVIDIA networking products, DPUs, NICs, Switches, CPO/NPO, or hyperscale data center platformsBackground in host management, BMC architecture, platform firmware, data monitoring, system restoration, power/thermal management, or module managementExperience defining SW/FW interfaces across large multi-team programsHands-on background in bring-up, validation, production debug, or customer issue resolutionTrack record of leading architecture from early definition through successful product delivery
