The Opportunity

Join our Software Team to build the embedded firmware powering the next generation of AI datacenter hardware with real-time power control and telemetry. We need someone passionate about embedded systems, RTOS constructs, optimizing close to the metal, and automation - someone who wants to see their code control real silicon in production. We value innovation, customer obsession, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop firmware and drivers to support our fleet of infrastructure IPs to optimize power, performance and reliability.

• Develop orchestration code to coordinate operation between Movellus sensor and actuator IPs with ultrafast response times (< 1us).

• Contribute to advanced AI/ML algorithm development to improve power efficiency and reliability in the datacenter.

• Validate firmware behaviour on simulation environments and FPGAs before tapeout.

• Build automation infrastructure to deliver custom releases to customers.

• Participate in/lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders.

• Work closely with engineers to identify areas of improvement in the development process and deliver impactful improvements.

• Review code developed by other team members and provide feedback to ensure best practices.

• Respond to critical incidents, debug, and resolve system issues.
