THE ROLE:
The Client Data Center GPU Remote Management team is looking for an experienced, versatile senior design engineer with experience in both FPGA and uC Firmware development to implement glue logic FPGAs and board management uC. The FPGAs and Remote Management uC implement the Out Of Band manageability sub-systems, interacting with board level components and cutting edge Data Center GPUs. The successful applicant will work closely with other firmware developers, system architects, system validation engineers, manufacturing diags engineers, and board designers across various IPs in leading the designs and implementing firmware that spans pre-silicon and post-silicon for Client's Flagship Data Center Products.

THE PERSON:
• You are passionate about FPGA and uC firmware development with creative and effective problem-solving skills.
• You are a motivated, self-starter who can work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision.
• You have excellent technical communication, interpersonal and leadership skills.
• You are comfortable working in different operating system environments including Windows and Linux.
• You are a team player with strong communication skills, resourceful and can work in a dynamic environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• FPGA development (own entire design + testbench)
• Remote management firmware development including feature addition, debugging and test infrastructure development.
• Create automated test plans built using the infrastructure to perform various tests including sanity tests, black box tests, functional tests and regression tests from DUT specifications and interaction with software developers.
• From a great deal of intuition, develop negative tests to actively try to break product and expose flaws before product is deployed in production.
• Setup hardware to facilitate remote/local test execution firmware in the lab.
• Reproduce defects and validate defect fixes found during testing, development, or in production code. Provide logs and statistics that will help in further triaging of defects.
• Provide feedback to design team on bugs and Design for Testability feature requests.
• Integrate automated testing in CI/CD environment (e.g., Jenkins)

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
• Minimum 10yrs experience in firmware and test development for embedded systems
• Minimum 5yrs experience in FPGA development with Client (Xilinx) FPGAs
• Minimum 5yrs experience in test bench setup & development
• You have experience with FPGA tools (e.g Vivado, Quartus), HDL Simulation Tools (ModelSim)
• Familiarity with Out Of Band management of servers and its components in a data center environment
• Knowledgeable in industry standard protocols like IPMI FRU, MCTP, PLDM, Redfish, etc.
• Familiarity with microcontroller architecture (ARM, x86) and embedded system build tool suites.
• Version control and CI/CD systems like git, Jenkins, etc.
• Mentoring skills an asset.
• Experience with Graphics a plus.
• Experience with BMC a plus.
• Experience with uC build environment (build scripts, make, git, Visual Basic for Applications)
• Experience with uC programming / debug (ARM Cortex M4)
• FPGA development and test experience with Client(Xilinx) FPGAs with an eye on reliable designs.
• Software Programming and scripting experience (Python, bash, C/C++) in Windows and Linux operating systems.
• Able to read and interpret board schematics.
• PC/server environment H/W and S/W setup and administration.
• Familiarity with various embedded protocols including but not limited to I2C, SPI, USB, PCIe, TCP/IP, etc.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Bachelor’s / Master’s degree (preferred) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
7+ years relevant experience
