Senior Staff Engineer, Product Marketing

Originally posted 29 October 2026 by the employer.

About the role

This role combines datacenter server-system expertise with product definition and marketing for MCU-based platform-management and control-plane solutions. The technical focus centers on distributed management controllers, satellite controllers, and board-management MCUs operating alongside the baseboard management controller (BMC).

What you'll do

• Define MCU requirements for server platform management, satellite controllers, and distributed control across compute, accelerator, storage, power, and cooling subsystems.
• Translate customer and market requirements from hyperscalers, server OEMs, ODMs, and ecosystem partners into MRDs, business cases, roadmap proposals, and go-to-market plans.
• Define complete solutions spanning silicon, embedded firmware, management-protocol stacks, SDKs, tools/GUIs, and reference designs.
• Lead technical discovery to map server and rack management architectures, controller placement, sideband connectivity, and firmware ownership.
• Track OCP initiatives, including DC-SCM/DC-SCI, and DMTF management standards (MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, Redfish) to define product and interoperability requirements.
• Create product positioning, messaging, launch plans, sales enablement, customer presentations, and competitive briefs.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field with 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Experience in system architecture, server platform management, embedded systems, semiconductor product definition, technical product management, or applications engineering.
• System knowledge of server motherboards, CPU/GPU/AI accelerator platforms, storage backplanes, and power/cooling subsystems, including their management interfaces and controller partitioning.
• Understanding of BMC-based out-of-band management, satellite management controllers, MCU/RTOS firmware, and the boundary between local real-time control and system-level management.
• Working knowledge of MCTP transport, PLDM-based monitoring/control and firmware update, SPDM authentication and measurement exchange, and integration with BMC-hosted Redfish services.
• Familiarity with server sideband interfaces such as I2C/SMBus, I3C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and PMBus, including their implications for connectivity, latency, reliability, and MCU requirements.

Nice to have

• Experience with hyperscaler or enterprise servers, GPU/AI accelerator trays, rack management, power shelves, fan controllers, or liquid-cooling management.
• Practical exposure to OpenBMC integration, OCP DC-SCM/DC-SCI or modular server architectures, and interoperability testing of MCTP/PLDM/SPDM endpoints.
• Experience defining secure, software-enabled controllers with secure boot, hardware root of trust, device identity, signed firmware updates, recovery, SDKs, and reference designs.
• Experience with server bring-up, power sequencing, telemetry and fault diagnostics, firmware lifecycle management, or customer design-ins involving hyperscalers, OEMs/ODMs, and BMC ecosystem partners.
• Advanced degree in engineering or business, or equivalent senior product strategy experience.
