Senior Staff Engineer, Product Marketing (AI datacenter infrastructure)

Originally posted 3 November 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 focus centers on distributed management controllers, satellite controllers, and board-management MCUs that work alongside baseboard management controllers (BMCs).

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 inputs into MRDs, business cases, roadmap proposals, and investment priorities.
• Define end-to-end solutions covering silicon, embedded firmware, management-protocol stacks, SDKs, tools/GUIs, reference designs, and customer application layers.
• Lead technical discovery with hyperscalers, server OEMs/ODMs, BMC vendors, and power/cooling partners while mapping sideband connectivity and controller placement.
• Track OCP initiatives including DC-SCM/DC-SCI, alongside DMTF standards like MCTP, PLDM, SPDM, and Redfish to establish product and interoperability requirements.
• Develop positioning, messaging, launch plans, sales enablement, and competitive briefs to establish MCUs as BMC companion and satellite-controller solutions.

What you'll need

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or 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 and cooling subsystems, including management interfaces and controller partitioning.
• Understanding of BMC-based out-of-band management, satellite management controllers, MCU/RTOS firmware, and the division 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 BMC Redfish integration.
• Familiarity with server sideband interfaces including I2C/SMBus, I3C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and PMBus.

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 modular server architectures, and interoperability testing of MCTP/PLDM/SPDM endpoints.
• Experience defining secure controllers featuring 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.
