Join the most cutting-edge and well-funded hardware startup in Silicon Valley as an SoC Management Controller Lead. Our mission is to reimagine silicon and create computing platforms that will transform the industry. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the most talented and passionate engineers in the world to create designs that push the envelope on performance, energy efficiency and scalability. We offer a fun, creative and flexible work environment, with a shared vision to build products to change the world.

As SOC Management Controller Lead, you are responsible for leading enablement of a management controller complex for a future server-class platform. You will collaborate internally to help define the platform and to implement embedded firmware, including various aspects of platform and power management, boot, RAS, and runtime services provided to application processors. You will be working closely both with the hardware power management and firmware development teams. You will have an opportunity to engage with third parties on enablement of new platforms, as well as providing input to our SoC and platform architects on future designs. You will also have an opportunity to participate in certain open source communities working on embedded OSes such as Zephyr.

Minimum qualifications

• BS / MS in an engineering discipline (or equivalent professional experience) with 5 years experience in microcontroller and embedded systems development
• Self-starter who takes initiative and brings technical leadership
• Experience of SoC-level power management

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in building management controllers for server class platforms, including platform initialization (PHY and DDR training, etc.) and runtime services such as RAS event management, device hotplug, debug, and system telemetry 
• Experience in implementing (and perhaps developing) server specifications and interfacing requirements between embedded controllers and application cores running UEFI, ACPI, etc.
• Experience defining low-level APIs between embedded controllers and platform
• Experience interfacing with platform PMICs for power management
• Experience of open source development, especially for embedded OSes such as Zephyr or Fuchsia

Role and Responsibilities

• Assist in the definition of future server class SoCs and platforms
• Lead the creation of a management controller solution for a server-class platform
• Assist in identifying skills requirements and in hiring engineers, collaborating with other teams on platform bring-up/debug/diags, firmware lifecycle, etc.
