Preferred * Experience with Axiado BMC modules or DC-SCM/Smart-SCM architectures. * Familiarity with AMD UBB platforms and MI-series GPU infrastructure. * Background in fleet-scale firmware lifecycle management. * Experience contributing to or maintaining upstream OpenBMC ## Description We are seeking a highly skilled Staff BMC Developer to own the software lifecycle, configuration, integration, and long-term management of TensorWave's custom Baseboard Management Controller systems. This role will serve as the technical owner for our out-of-band management architecture across next-generation AI compute platforms. The primary focus will be writing software for, configuring, integrating, and maintaining Axiado 3000-series BMC modules, with specific emphasis on OpenBMC, Redfish, PLDM, MCTP, low-level hardware interfaces, and integration with AMD Universal Base Board architecture for high-density GPU platforms. The Staff BMC Developer will work closely with infrastructure engineering, hardware provisioning, network engineering, platform engineering, AMD engineering, and OEM hardware vendors to ensure our server management layer is stable, secure, observable, automatable, and production-ready at fleet scale. This role is not a general firmware support position. It is a senior technical ownership role responsible for the management-plane software foundation required to deploy, monitor, update, recover, and operate large-scale AI compute infrastructure. What You'll Do BMC Software Development & Platform Ownership * Own the full software lifecycle for TensorWave's custom BMC systems: firmware development, image customization, board configuration, validation, release management, upgrade workflows, and recovery procedures. * Lead development and deployment for Axiado 3000-series BMC modules (Smart-SCM3002 / DC-SCM architectures). * Define BMC platform standards covering firmware builds, configuration management, access control, secure interfaces, and automation integration. OpenBMC Development * Build, customize, maintain, and troubleshoot OpenBMC-based firmware for TensorWave-specific hardware platforms. * Integrate platform-specific sensors, inventory, and control paths; support board bring-up and hardware enablement. * Develop in C, C++, Python, and Shell within Yocto/BitBake and OpenBMC build systems. Axiado & AMD UBB Integration * Lead integration and operationalization of Axiado BMC modules; configure, debug, and validate sensor, power, reset, and firmware update workflows. * Architect BMC integration with AMD Universal Base Board platforms supporting high-density MI-series GPU systems. * Coordinate across BMC, BIOS, GPU, NIC, and system firmware dependencies; work directly with AMD, Axiado, and OEM vendors. Low-Level Hardware Protocols & Firmware Lifecycle * Debug and configure hardware communication interfaces: I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, PCIe, IPMI, PLDM, MCTP, and Redfish/DMTF APIs. * Design and maintain robust firmware update processes (BIOS, BMC, NIC, GPU, CPLD/FPGA), including PLDM-based workflows, rollback, version tracking, and fleet-scale rollout planning. * Implement and maintain Redfish APIs exposing power, thermal, inventory, sensor, and health data for automation and bare-metal provisioning. Telemetry, Vendors & Cross-Functional Collaboration * Ensure platform health metrics (thermal, power, voltage, fan, GPU, system health) are exposed to infrastructure and monitoring systems - not trapped in firmware or vendor tools. * Serve as primary technical point of contact with AMD, Axiado, OEM vendors, and ODM platform teams; lead escalations and validate vendor fixes before production. * Partner closely with Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, DevOps, Network Engineering, Observability, and Security teams., All offers of employment are contingent upon verification of identity and authorization to work in United States, as required by law. Background Checks Where permitted by law, employment may be contingent upon the successful completion of a job-related background check.
