Firmware Engineering Embedded Systems C Programming RTOS Super I/O Embedded Controller BIOS Integration Thermal Monitoring Power Management Hardware Debugging Secure Boot Cryptography System Architecture Technical Leadership Root of Trust

Requirements

Requires extensive experience in firmware architecture, C programming, and bare-metal or RTOS environments. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in hardware-software interaction, security mechanisms, and technical leadership for complex engineering projects.

Full description

  • Lead firmware engineers and responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of embedded firmware and software for Super I/O (SIO) and Embedded Controller (EC) chip products used in enterprise-class PC platforms, including desktops, workstations, notebooks, and all-in-one systems.
  • Oversee and contribute hands-on to the firmware architecture and software design for multiple generations of SIO and EC products, including boot flow, low-level drivers, system services, and firmware frameworks.
  • Lead the definition and implementation of complex firmware features such as thermal monitoring, fan control, power management, and hardware-software interaction mechanisms, including algorithms that combine firmware logic with silicon capabilities.
  • Act as the primary technical authority for SIO and EC firmware, performing design reviews, code reviews, and architectural assessments to ensure correctness, performance, security, and maintainability.
  • Develop firmware primarily in C, with direct involvement in bare-metal and RTOS-based environments, and support integration with system BIOS and platform firmware.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware teams, validation teams, and global customers to define requirements, analyze technical constraints, and develop customer-specific firmware features and solutions.
  • Serve as a key interface with strategic customers to troubleshoot complex firmware and silicon-related issues, analyze root causes, and deliver corrective actions.
  • Design and implement security-related firmware functionality, including cryptographic mechanisms, secure boot flows, and device identity features for products used as part of platform security and Root of Trust solutions. Support proof-of-concept activities for new technologies and future product directions.
  • Debug complex firmware, hardware, and system-level issues using hardware and software debugging tools, and guide engineering teams in the resolution of critical customer escalations.
  • Provide technical mentorship and guidance to firmware engineers to support consistent implementation practices and successful project execution.
