About the role
This role leads and grows the Data Center BIOS team responsible for firmware across the platform lifecycle from architecture, emulation, and silicon bring-up through production enablement and customer escalation support. The team develops BIOS and platform firmware architecture, boot flow, system-level debug, and power and performance management for Data Center Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Machine Intelligence Processing Units.
What you'll do
- Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop firmware engineers across all experience levels, establishing coding standards, firmware review processes, and documentation practices.
- Own the Platform BIOS from pre-silicon to production until end of life (EOL) of the program.
- Drive system firmware requirements from definition and development in emulation and pre-silicon simulation through first silicon and production, serving as an escalation point for complex debug campaigns.
- Collaborate with feature enabling teams, firmware architects, debug teams, IFWI teams, and platform software engineers to co-define firmware/hardware interfaces and feature specifications.
- Plan product platform initialization timelines and coordinate with lead system engineers to deliver firmware to internal and external stakeholders.
- Define and track team goals, milestone plans, and risk areas while owning the firmware feature roadmap across hardware, software, platform, and validation teams.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- Hands-on expertise in BIOS/UEFI, platform initialization, and x86 architecture and debug.
- Experience delivering complex multi-quarter programs across the platform lifecycle, including boot readiness, release milestones, and partner issue resolution.
- Technical leadership experience coaching engineers, driving cross-functional alignment, and managing dependencies across hardware, software, and validation teams.
Nice to have
- Experience in x86 BIOS, semiconductor firmware, embedded systems, or SOC software engineering, with a focus in an engineering management or tech lead-manager role.
- Experience building engineering teams: hiring, onboarding, and growing engineers from junior to senior level in a semiconductor environment.
- Understanding of x86 architecture within a server business environment.
- Experience implementing structured onboarding programs, technical training curricula, or engineering ladders.

How we counted: 773 open Embedded Firmware Engineering (Systems Software) roles from 91 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Software, Firmware & Systems family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
