  • Strong C and assembly skills for embedded and firmware development, including bare-metal or real-time operating systems on ARM or similar architectures.
  • At least 5 years of platform or system firmware development experience covering boot, BMC or embedded controllers, and device firmware.
  • Hands-on experience with secure boot or hardware root of trust, code signing, and secure or anti-rollback updates.
  • Experience with power-management firmware, including power sequencing, PMICs or voltage regulators, DVFS, and thermal or power telemetry.
  • Experience with platform monitoring and debugging, including sensors and telemetry, RAS or error handling, JTAG or debug, and management interfaces.
  • Comfort working at the hardware/software boundary, including reading datasheets and specifications, lab bring-up, and using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

Responsibilities

  • Develop platform firmware across the stack, including boot ROMs and bootloaders, embedded controllers or BMC, and device firmware for accelerator silicon and systems.
  • Implement secure boot and root-of-trust features, including measured or verified boot, code signing and chain of trust, authenticated firmware updates with anti-rollback, and secure debug.
  • Develop power-management firmware for power sequencing, PMIC or voltage-rail control, DVFS, and power or thermal protection and budgeting.
  • Implement monitoring and telemetry for sensors, health and RAS, error logging, and platform management or observability interfaces.
  • Build debug infrastructure, including JTAG or scan, and perform board and post-silicon bring-up.
  • Partner with silicon and architecture, hardware and board, and software teams on firmware interfaces, threat modeling, and hardware/software co-design.
  • Use assisted tool flows to accelerate development and review.

Desired Qualifications

  • Rust for firmware or embedded development.
  • Experience with OpenBMC, UEFI, or coreboot.
  • Accelerator, GPU, or server firmware experience.
  • Applied cryptography and key management.
  • TEE or TrustZone experience.
  • Awareness of side-channel or fault-injection techniques.
