We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Lead BIOS Firmware Architect to develop and deliver next-generation BIOS for AI and accelerated computing platforms. In this leadership role, you will drive the design, development, debugging, validation, and deployment of system BIOS powering large-scale AI training and inference infrastructure.

As a technical leader, you will work closely with silicon architects, platform hardware teams, BMC developers, operating system engineers, ODM/OEM partners, and hyperscale customers to define firmware architecture, enable next-generation technologies, and deliver secure, reliable, and highly scalable GPU-accelerated server platforms.

The Lead BIOS Firmware Engineer will provide technical leadership for platform SBIOS development, silicon enablement, reference code integration, and firmware architecture across cloud and AI server platforms.

You will lead firmware strategy through planning, design, development, bring-up, validation, customer qualification, and production deployment phases. You will mentor engineers, drive technical excellence, and serve as a key technical interface between firmware, hardware, silicon, validation, and customer teams.

• Lead architecture, design, development, integration, and maintenance of UEFI/BIOS firmware for AI server and accelerator platforms.
• Define firmware architecture and technical roadmaps supporting next-generation CPU, GPU, memory, and I/O technologies.
• Lead platform bring-up efforts from pre-silicon simulation through post-silicon validation and production readiness.
• Drive silicon enablement activities in collaboration with CPU, GPU, and platform architecture teams.
• Own implementation and validation of ACPI, SMBIOS, PCIe Gen5/Gen6, CXL, NUMA, memory, power management, security, and platform management technologies.
