Firmware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own the design, development, and validation of BMC firmware for server platforms end to end, translating hardware and product requirements into robust, maintainable solutions.
• Define firmware architecture and interfaces on firmware (embedded Linux) stack in C/C++ and Python; make and document key technical decisions.
• Lead new board and silicon-vendor bring-up: enable hardware interfaces and sensors (I2C/I3C, PECI, SPI, GPIO, PWM/TACH, JTAG) and drive platform power-on and stabilization.
• Design and maintain manageability interfaces (Redfish, IPMI) and security/boot features (secure boot, attestation, CVE remediation).
• Diagnose and resolve the most complex, cross-layer, and hard-to-reproduce firmware and hardware issues (kernel, drivers, services, application).
• Establish and enforce engineering quality: unit/integration testing, CI, code review standards, and release readiness.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers; provide technical guidance and grow team capability.
• Lead and maintain firmware documentation (architecture, design, interface, and release notes).
• Collaborate with and influence hardware, BIOS, silicon-vendor, QA, and product teams; represent firmware in cross-functional and customer discussions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's / Master's in CE/EE/CS (or equivalent) with 6+ years of embedded/firmware development, including shipped BMC or comparable embedded-Linux products.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python, with deep embedded Linux internals (kernel, drivers, U-Boot, systemd, D-Bus).
• Proven experience with device drivers, board bring-up, and hardware debug tools (oscilloscope/logic analyzer, JTAG).
• Hands-on experience with OpenBMC / Yocto / BitBake and Git-based workflows.
• Track record of owning features from architecture through release and of debugging complex, multi-component issues.

Nice to Have

• Redfish / DMTF, PLDM / MCTP / SPDM, secure boot / attestation, and manageability standards.
• Upstream / open-source contributions and community engagement.
• Experience with silicon-vendor SDK integration, performance/power tuning, and security hardening.

Attributes

• Technical leadership, sound judgment, and strong ownership.
• Excellent communication and mentoring skills; able to align stakeholders and drive decisions.
