Senior Staff Embedded Software Engineer | Embedded Systems / Firmware / AI Infrastructure / Data Centre Platforms

We are currently partnered with a leading technology company developing next-generation AI accelerator platforms and cloud-scale infrastructure for hyperscale data centres. As part of their continued growth, they are looking to hire a Senior Staff Embedded Software Engineer to provide technical leadership across low-level firmware, platform software, and system architecture for high-performance AI and compute platforms.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, design, and development of low-level firmware and embedded platform software across SoC, board, and system levels.
• Define and own firmware strategy covering boot, reset, security, debug, power management, RAS, inter-process communication (IPC), and platform services.
• Drive SoC and platform bring-up across multiple product generations, ensuring successful hardware and software integration.
• Lead firmware architecture to deliver highly scalable, reliable, and high-performance platforms for hyperscale cloud deployments.
• Collaborate with hardware, system software, infrastructure, validation, and manufacturing teams throughout the full product lifecycle.
• Lead cross-functional design reviews, system debugging, root-cause analysis, and complex platform issue resolution.
• Establish best practices for firmware quality, observability, debuggability, automation, CI/CD, and pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.

Key requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Extensive commercial experience developing embedded firmware or low-level system software within complex hardware environments.
• Proven technical leadership delivering large-scale firmware platforms and embedded software architectures.
• Expert-level programming skills in C and C++, with strong scripting experience using Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Deep experience with SoC bring-up, hardware/software integration, and low-level system debugging.Strong understanding of computer architecture, including memory hierarchies, interrupts, DMA, cache coherency, and high-speed interconnects.
• Experience working with AI accelerators, heterogeneous compute architectures, or high-speed interconnect technologies such as PCIe, CXL, NVLink, or similar.
