About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Deep hands-on experience with BMC firmware development and OpenBMC (Yocto/BitBake).
Strong proficiency in C, C++, Python, and Shell scripting in embedded Linux environments.
Working knowledge of hardware protocols: I2C, I3C, SPI, UART, PCIe, IPMI, PLDM, MCTP.
Experience with Redfish/DMTF APIs and out-of-band server management.
Ability to work close to the metal — moving between firmware code, protocol traces, Linux diagnostics, and vendor documentation.
Strong cross-functional communication skills; comfortable leading technical conversations with silicon vendors, OEMs, and internal engineering teams.
Experience with Axiado BMC modules or DC-SCM/Smart-SCM architectures (preferred).
Familiarity with AMD UBB platforms and MI-series GPU infrastructure (preferred).
Background in fleet-scale firmware lifecycle management (preferred).
Experience contributing to or maintaining upstream OpenBMC (preferred).
