BMC Engineer

Foxconn-PCE Technology • Santa Clara, CA

4d • $140,000 - $165,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The primary purpose of the AI Server / Rack R&D BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) Engineer (focused on L10/L11 execution) is to own the out-of-band management firmware initialization, system telemetry calibration, and remote monitor validation across fully integrated AI rack platforms. This role directly contributes by programming, testing, and debugging the specialized BMC microcontroller firmware (often based on Open BMC or AMI Mega RAC). This ensures that the entire 100kW+ rack infrastructure can be safely powered on, remotely monitored, thermally throttled, and diagnosed out-of-band by Tier-1 hyperscale operating frameworks.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science (with a strong foundation in embedded systems, Linux kernel development, or hardware-software interfacing), or Electrical Engineering (paired with extensive embedded firmware development experience)
• 1+ years of Embedded BMC Firmware Implementation & Testing
• 1+ years of Hardware Sensor Bus Architecture & Communication
• 1+ years of Redfish API & Hyperscale Management Protocol Customization
• 1+ years of Hardware-Software System Bring-Up & Diagnostics

Responsibilities

• Perform BMC bring-up and validate out-of-band management functions for server platforms, including system monitoring, remote management, event logging, and hardware telemetry.
• Troubleshoot BMC-related issues and verify reliable communication between the BMC, system components, and management interfaces.
• Configure and calibrate system sensors for temperature, voltage, current, fan speed, and power monitoring, and tune thermal and power protection thresholds to ensure accurate telemetry, safe system operation, and compliance with platform requirements.
• Develop, customize, and validate Redfish API functionality to support server management and telemetry requirements while aligning BMC interfaces and data models with hyperscale customer profiles, platform specifications, and applicable management standards.
• Analyze BMC event logs, hardware failure records, and diagnostic data to identify system faults and failure patterns.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and validation teams to determine root causes, support corrective actions, and improve system reliability.
• Develop and maintain automated scripts and tools for BMC firmware flashing, configuration, and validation to improve engineering efficiency and consistency.
• Implement and verify firmware changes associated with Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to ensure proper deployment, traceability, and compliance with approved requirements.
