About the role

Successful candidates for these roles will be responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon for MatX products across compute, memory management.
Each engineer on this team has a primary focus area, but ownership of overlapping components is shared, and you should expect (and want) to venture across the stack.

Design, build, and ship OpenBMC firmware for our custom compute boards, where the BMC manages our in-house AI ASICs - from early bring-up on reference hardware through production deployment
Own the Yocto/OpenEmbedded-based build, board port, and device trees (U-Boot and Linux kernel) for our BMC SoC
Develop platform manageability features: sensor and telemetry infrastructure, inventory, event logging, fan/thermal/power management (PMBus), and RAS for the AI ASICs and board components (CPLDs/FPGAs, PSUs, NICs, memory)
Build management interfaces on industry standards - Redfish, IPMI, and DMTF protocols (MCTP, PLDM, SPDM) - including out-of-band management of our ASICs
Implement firmware update, secure boot, and attestation flows in partnership with our silicon and security teams
Influence board and ASIC design: review schematics and hardware architecture from a manageability and debuggability perspective
Upstream improvements to the OpenBMC community where appropriate, and build the CI, test automation, and tooling that keep our firmware quality high
Commute On Us For those commuting up to 1 hour, put your rideshare cost on our company card and reclaim the drive-time to get work done!

8+ years of experience in BMC firmware and embedded Linux development, with hands-on OpenBMC experience from board bring-up through production
experience with BMC SoCs such as ASPEED or Nuvoton
Board bring-up experience with low-level buses and interfaces: I2C/I3C, SPI, eSPI/LPC, SMBus, UART, PCIe, JTAG
Working knowledge of platform management standards: IPMI/KCS, Redfish, and DMTF protocols (MCTP, PLDM, SPDM)
Experience with pre-silicon validation environments (simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping)
Familiarity with SR-IOV, dma-buf, peer-to-peer PCIe, or VFIO

Experience with thermal/power management, firmware update mechanisms, and firmware security (secure boot, root of trust, attestation) is a strong plus
Contributions to OpenBMC, the Linux kernel, or related open-source/OCP/DMTF efforts are a plus
