You will have meaningful ownership of how the BIOS is developed and will be involved from initial board bring-up through a working product., * Become the primary BIOS/UEFI technical specialist in the Huntsville organization. * Work directly with hardware and firmware engineers during new board bring-up. * Customize and develop BIOS for new embedded computing platforms rather than simply maintaining legacy code. * Start with AMI BIOS / Intel reference BIOS and adapt it to hardware. * Work at the fundamental platform level where hardware, firmware, BIOS, and operating systems come together. * Have significant technical ownership and latitude in BIOS development. * Solve challenging hardware-versus-firmware issues alongside engineers from multiple disciplines. * Take products from early hardware/BIOS bring-up toward production. The hiring team is specifically looking for someone who has personally developed UEFI BIOS and participated in board bring-up on hardware running the BIOS they developed., As a Senior BIOS / UEFI Engineer, you will develop and customize BIOS for new products that are rugged embedded computing platforms. You will work from an AMI/Intel reference BIOS, adapt it to new hardware, and support BIOS bring-up alongside the hardware and firmware teams. Your work will include: * Developing and customizing UEFI BIOS for new products. * Performing BIOS bring-up on newly designed boards. * Debugging hardware/firmware issues during initial board startup. * Working with hardware, FPGA, and other firmware engineers to validate system functionality. * Supporting interfaces such as USB, PCI Express, SATA, and other board-level functionality. * Taking BIOS development from initial bring-up through production.
