Job Description

Senior BMC Firmware Engineer (US Citizenship required) (Job Title to be reviewed with HR. This position is for 8-12 years experience)

============================

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.

In addition to base pay, this role may be eligible for variable/ incentive compensation and/ or equity. In addition, this role is eligible for a comprehensive, competitive benefits package which may include healthcare and retirement plans, paid time off, and more!
