Senior Firmware & BMC Engineer (Escrow-Tech)

Description

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly experienced Senior Firmware & BMC Engineer to help build and own the firmware and BMC foundation powering our hardware platform and SteadGrid.

This is a senior-level opportunity for an engineer with strong experience in OpenBMC, embedded Linux, firmware development, secure boot, hardware debugging, power control and telemetry. This role is specifically focused on production-grade embedded Linux/BMC engineering — not generic microcontroller development.

Key Responsibilities

Reproduce and maintain OpenSBI, U-Boot, OpenBMC and RK3588 builds.
Integrate secure-boot, firmware update, signing, rollback and recovery mechanisms.
Implement BMC-to-K3 node lifecycle and per-node power-control interfaces.
Support 0/25/50/75/100 operating-state semantics, telemetry confirmation and safe fallback.
Work with Redfish, bmcweb, entity-manager and sdbusplus where required.
Build logging, health monitoring, telemetry and firmware update mechanisms.
Support factory flashing and provisioning workflows.
Develop automated and hardware-in-the-loop tests.
Produce technical documentation, release notes and knowledge-transfer materials.

Requirements

7+ years of embedded firmware / embedded Linux experience.
Strong OpenBMC experience preferred.
Deep knowledge of Linux BMC/IPMI/Redfish, Yocto and C/C++.
Experience with OpenSBI, U-Boot, secure boot, firmware updates and recovery.
Hardware debugging and production flashing/provisioning experience.
Experience with BMC-to-host power and telemetry control.
