What you'll need

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Software Engineering experience (or Master's degree with 7+ years, or PhD with 6+ years). - 4+ years of work experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, or Python.

Nice to have

- Minimum 15 years of experience in an embedded software integration role, with at least 5 years focused on datacenter solutions. - Experience with SW/FW integration at BIOS/UEFI, BMC firmware, and Operating System levels for x86, ARM64, or RISC-V 64bit server platforms. - Experience reducing integration challenges via process refinements, tools integration, and Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD). - Proven knowledge of Linux datacenter distributions, Python, and C/C++, along with upstream open-source codebases and licenses. - Exposure to C/C++ toolchains such as GCC, LLVM, or ARM-compatible toolchains, plus experience with software build, deployment, and test failures in embedded systems. - Scripting and automation experience with Shell/Bash, Python, or PowerShell, and building tools for firmware packaging (stitching, signing, binary object dumps, binary formats). - Experience building and integrating firmware using Linux VMs, runners, Docker containers, and CI pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
