## Description

Provide Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Satellite Management Controller (SMC) software and firmware for Machine Learning Accelerator (MLA) servers.

 - Continuously collaborate with other server and board software teams responsible for accelerator management firmware and other programmable logic devices.
 - Work within the larger MLA Systems Software group to support development of mission-mode firmware, exercisers for manufacturing and vetting, and automation for qualification and deployment.
 - Engage in new product development by participating in early concept design reviews, schematic approvals, offsite board bringup and laboratory-based testing.

A day in the life
The MLA Chassis Software team was builds on board firmware primarily for mission-mode control of sensors and other board-level hardware. This includes debug, testing, qualification, and manufacturing. We touch technologies from Linux Kernel device drivers to the I2C infrastructure pervasive in the server and everything in between. We are not working on machine learning algorithms, but rather we work on the physical systems (hardware) which execute and accelerate those machine learning algorithms. Data paths, I2C, SPI, PCIe, and device control are our bread and butter.

About the team
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship. Our engineers enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.
