Do you enjoy hacking and tinkering at the lowest levels of software? Are you capable of crafting and implementing creative solutions in heavily resource-constrained environments? If so, you’re primed to join our team in developing display firmware for 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. You will be joining a team whose primary mission is designing and implementing world-class firmware that drives displays including HDMI, DP, and eDP. In the world of firmware, where tight requirements of security, boot-time, storage space act as constraints to all solutions: 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 set of minds in the business. Your goal will be to shape the future of GPU technologies doing exactly what you enjoy: solving puzzles. If this sounds exciting 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 GPU display firmware throughout the entire GPU lifecycle

• Implement industry standard display technologies, including HDMI, DP, eDP, and the UEFI Graphics Output Protocol

• Work closely with hardware, software, infrastructure, and business teams to transform new display features from idea to reality

• Work with leading OS and PC vendors to improve and innovate on the startup experience

• Create, document, and automate workflows, processes, and tooling for internal-facing and external-facing team projects

What we need to see:

• BS or MS degree in EE/CS/CE (or equivalent experience)

• 5+ yrs experience

• Display technology experience such as HDMI, DP, and eDP

• Sturdy technical background in UEFI firmware development

• In depth understanding of PC notebook and desktop architecture

• Strong grasp of software development lifecycle and coding practices

• Strong Python, C, and scripting skills

• Even stronger interpersonal skills with a sense of humor highly encouraged, but not required

• Easy to work with, as you’ll constantly be engaged with both hardware designers and other software engineers to design, develop, and debug functional (and non-functional!) aspects of GPU subsystems and display functionality

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience with display protocol analyzers

• Experience in developing device BIOS, firmware, or other low-level software

• Familiarity with x86 and VGA assembly programming

• Experience with OS user and kernel mode drivers

• Passion for optimizing and unlocking the potential of yourself and others through your work
