Our team handles the software and firmware that support host management flows throughout platform control software, baseboard management controllers, hardware interfaces, data monitoring, restoration processes, energy regulation, module management, and system orchestration. In this role, you will develop architecture, lead multi-departmental teams, and convert complex platform requirements into scalable, reliable, production-ready solutions.
What you will be doing:
Lead architecture definition for Host Management SW and FW across our networking platforms.
Define system flows across host software, embedded firmware, BMC, device firmware, and hardware interfaces.
Guide the development of architecture for telemetry, recovery, power management, module management, firmware update flows, and control protocols.
Convert product, customer, and platform needs into clear technical specifications and implementation plans.
Work closely with SW, FW, HW, validation, program, architecture, and customer-facing teams.
Provide technical leadership to engineers implementing complex cross-domain features.
Own architecture documentation and communicate technical direction clearly to engineering and leadership.
What we need to see:
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
12+ years of experience in system software, firmware, embedded systems, platform management, or networking systems.
Strong background in SW/FW architecture for complex systems.
Deep understanding of firmware, embedded software, Linux, BMC, host interfaces, and system-level debug.
Experience with protocols or technologies such as PLDM, MCTP, NC-SI, PCIe, I2C, USB, CMIS, Ethernet, InfiniBand, or NVLink.
Strong communication skills and experience writing architecture documents, specifications, and technical proposals.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Experience with NVIDIA networking products, DPUs, NICs, Switches, CPO/NPO, or hyperscale data center platforms.
Background in host management, BMC architecture, platform firmware, data monitoring, system restoration, power/thermal management, or module management.
Experience defining SW/FW interfaces across large multi-team programs.
Hands-on background in bring-up, validation, production debug, or customer issue resolution.
Track record of leading architecture from early definition through successful product delivery.
