About The Position

We are looking for a distinguished Senior Firmware Engineer to become part of our GPU Firmware Development team. Unlike sustainment or support roles, our team is dedicated to active development and innovation from the ground up. You will be tasked with crafting and deploying key firmware within the GPU OOBHUB (Out-of-Band Hub). This firmware manages peripherals seamlessly, updates securely, and monitors communication telemetry reliably. Join us to work with top experts in building robust, high-performance infrastructure for the future of computing.

Requirements

BS or MS degree in EE, CS, CE, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in low-level firmware development, embedded systems, or microcontroller programming.
Strong background in managing peripherals and communication stacks via industry-standard protocols (e.g., SPI, I2C/I3C, PCIe, SMBus, MCTP, PLDM).
Expert-level C development skills in resource-constrained environments.
Experience working with RISC-V or similar embedded processor architectures.
Deep understanding of software development processes, robust debugging methodologies, and a developer-first approach passionate about writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
Excellent interpersonal abilities enabling close work with hardware designers and diverse engineering groups.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience or familiarity with the Ada or SPARK programming languages for high-integrity/safety-critical software.
Direct experience with RISC-V assembly, custom extensions, or low-level architectural optimizations.
Knowledge of building secure firmware updates, hardware roots of trust (RoT), or handling cryptographic hardware accelerators.

Responsibilities

Build, architect, develop, and debug critical firmware running in the GPU OOBHUB, prioritizing robust peripheral control and secure communication interfaces.
Build and optimize high-reliability firmware update mechanisms and telemetry systems for next-generation GPU subsystems.
Collaborate closely with hardware architects and ASIC designers to initiate new silicon, defining firmware-hardware interfaces and communication protocols.
Implement secure, modern firmware solutions, bringing to bear high-reliability languages and principles to ensure system stability.
Partner with internal software, hardware, and infrastructure teams to transform brand new architectural features from concepts into production-ready firmware.
