Job Description

Platform management firmware is essential to the reliability, serviceability, and manageability of hyperscale AI servers. This Senior role owns BMC firmware architecture and development—built on OpenBMC—for Hyve's next-generation AI and compute server platforms, spanning manageability, telemetry, power/thermal control, security, and manufacturing enablement in close partnership with hardware and Hyperscaler customers.

Core Responsibilities

• BMC firmware architecture. Define and own the OpenBMC-based firmware architecture for AI/GPU server platforms, including manageability stack, Redfish interfaces, IPMI, and platform telemetry.
• Platform control and monitoring. Develop and integrate power, thermal, fan-control, and sensor monitoring firmware in close collaboration with power delivery and thermal teams.
• Security and reliability. Implement secure boot, firmware update/recovery, RoT integration, and robust error handling to meet hyperscaler security and reliability requirements.
• Bring-up and debug. Lead firmware bring-up across EVT/DVT/PVT, debug at board and system level, and drive root-cause analysis and permanent fixes across firmware, hardware, and system-integration domains.
• Manufacturing and deployment enablement. Deliver firmware tooling and features for factory provisioning, diagnostics, and fleet deployment, and support field issue resolution at scale.
• Technical leadership. Set firmware development methodology, review code, and mentor engineers; represent firmware architecture to customers and internal executives.

Required Qualifications & Skills
