Lead Firmware Engineer Jobs

About the Team Security is at the foundation of OpenAI’s mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Security team protects OpenAI’s technology, people, and products. We are technical in what we build but operational in how we execute, and we support every product and research effort at OpenAI. Our tenets include prioritizing for impact, enabling researchers and developers, preparing for future transformative technologies, and fostering a strong, collaborative security culture. About the Role OpenAI is seeking a Principal Software Engineer to join the Infrastructure Security (InfraSec) team. InfraSec safeguards the core of OpenAI’s research and production environments: GPU supercomputing clusters, multi-cloud infrastructure, datacenters, networking, storage, and the critical services that power our frontier AI models. Our charter spans everything from bare-metal hardware and firmware to Kubernetes clusters, service meshes, and the data pathways that carry highly sensitive model weights and user data. As a Principal Software Engineer, you will set technical direction and drive execution of critical foundational services, such as authentication systems, egress/ingress proxies, access brokers, and key management platforms, that demand high standards of reliability, scalability, and software craftsmanship. These systems form the security backbone of OpenAI’s customer and supercomputing environment and must remain robust under intense scale and adversarial pressure. In this role, you will: Own the architecture and roadmap for one or more core security services (e.g., authN/Z, policy enforcement, secure proxies, key management), taking them from design to rollout to long-term operation. Design and implement planet-scale security systems that provide strong guarantees across hardware, operating systems, Kubernetes, networks, and CI/CD: balancing security, reliability, latency, and developer ergonomics. Lead cross-functional launches

NVIDIA’s Silicon Co-Design Group is the team that gets every GPU, SoC, and CPU silicon program from first power-on to high-volume production. We are hiring a Senior Manager to lead our Test, Manufacturability, Reliability & Quality (TMRQ) organization. This is not a coordination role . Your work decides if a product can be built at scale and trusted in the field. These include production test development (SLT, BLT), control run flow, system reliability stress (HTOL), platform- and board-level manufacturing issue closure, and field diagnostic test development. You lead a team of individual contributors and a first-line manager at the layer where silicon, platform, and software collide with manufacturing reality. Decisions you make show up in yield curves, production ramp , and customer escapes. You are the leader the program turns to when a build is stuck, a control run is fallout-heavy, or a field return points back at silicon . The exceptional hire also uses AI deliberately — with demonstrated workflow impact and the judgment to know where it compresses real work and where it introduces risk. What you will be doing: Keep programs moving. Own the technical execution and velocity of SLT, BLT, Board/Chip/Rack CR, and system reliability stress (HTOL) across every GPU, SoC, and CPU silicon program. Close the hardest multi-functional failures. Resolve Vmin and binning escapes, performance shortfalls, and power anomalies by driving root-cause across design, methodology, DFT, ATE, package, software/firmware, and manufacturing — and own the WARs and productized fixes through to confirmation. Give leadership the clarity to act. Convert raw integration signals — CR fallout, BLT/SLT yield, SHTOL/CHTOL data, RMA trends, customer escalations — into decision-ready options that enable executive leadership to act with confidence on POR, QS/PS gates, a

The Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG) sits at the crossroads of architecture, design, marketing, operations, and productization. Our work spans early architecture through final product delivery across Datacenter, Gaming, Robotics, Automotive, and Embedded markets. We work closely across functions to deliver chips that change what is possible. System Integration sits at the intersection of all of them. It is the layer where every architecture, design, software, and manufacturing decision meets reality. When something breaks late in a program, it usually breaks here first. We are hiring a Senior Manager to lead this team in the US and partner closely with teams globally. Your work will sit on the critical path of every NVIDIA silicon program, and the bar you set for system integration is the bar we ship to! The two hardest, highest-leverage problems in this seat: Find critical silicon issues earlier — often before software is production-ready. Left-shifting post-silicon coverage is the highest-value thing System Integration can do. Standing up wide-area testing as a repeatable capability is a core part of the role. Keep programs on milestone when upstream dependencies slip. Validation plans collide with reality every program! The team needs new strategies, not just contingency plans, to keep moving when software, firmware, or methodology slip. You will design and run those strategies. What you’ll be doing: Plan and execute post-silicon feature integration, PVT validation, and wide-area testing across NVIDIA’s GPU, SoC, and CPU programs. Build wide-area and in-system test as a repeatable capability that shifts post-silicon coverage left, so issues surface before we are production-ready. Lead resolution of the most complex system-level issues, RMAs, and HW/SW interaction problems with creative workarounds and focused lab experimentation. Deve
