Bmc Security Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

As Crusoe Cloud expands across new GPU and CPU server platforms, we're investing deeply in the firmware that underpins fleet reliability, security, and operability — and we're hiring a founding engineer to lead our BMC firmware work.

You'll set the technical direction for BMC firmware across Crusoe's server platforms and drive the work end-to-end: architecture, platform bring-up, release engineering, fleet reliability, and security. You'll lead the BMC engineering relationship with our ODM and OEM partners and hire, mentor, and scale the team behind this work. You should be equally comfortable reading schematics, debugging host interfaces, reviewing a partner's pull request, and presenting BMC roadmap tradeoffs to leadership.

• Define Crusoe's BMC architecture and stack strategy across current and future platforms.

• Lead BMC bring-up on new server platforms — kernel, U-Boot, device tree, sensor management, fan and thermal control, power sequencing, host interfaces — working with partner engineering teams from schematics and hardware design docs.

• Own the BMC build, CI/CD, signing, and release pipeline end-to-end.

• Drive BMC security architecture: secure boot, root of trust, attestation, SPDM, signed update flows, firmware resiliency, and response to firmware CVEs.

• Lead the BMC technical relationship with ODM and OEM partners — setting direction, aligning on scope, and shipping firmware Crusoe is proud of.

• Author and own the BMC sections of platform requirements; drive architecture reviews and technical deep-dives with partner engineering teams.

• Drive prototyping, qualification, and production readiness of BMC firmware on new platforms, working together with partner engineering teams to hit Crusoe's technical bar.

• Build out BMC-driven telemetry and observability — sensor, power, thermal, and RAS data flowing into Crusoe Cloud's ops and SRE stack — so the BMC layer is a first-class source of platform truth.

• Partner with platform and production teams to investigate and resolve systemic BMC issues surfaced from the fleet.

• Define SLOs and update/rollback strategy for BMC firmware across a growing fleet.

• Hire and grow the BMC team — defining the team shape, recruiting firmware engineers, and setting the engineering standards the team will scale on.

• Provide data-driven input into Crusoe's hardware roadmap, platform selection, and reliability investments.

• 8+ years of firmware engineering, with deep hands-on BMC experience.

• Hands-on expertise with at least one production BMC stack (OpenBMC, AMI MegaRAC, or equivalent), including the embedded Linux, U-Boot, and device tree layers underneath.

• Demonstrated experience leading BMC bring-up on new server platforms — working from schematics, I2C/PMBus device maps, GPIO assignments, and platform power sequencing.

• Strong C/C++ on embedded Linux; comfortable in Python or shell for automation and tooling.

• Deep familiarity with BMC management protocols and standards: IPMI 2.0, Redfish, PLDM, MCTP, and NC-SI.

• Hands-on debugging across BMC-to-host interfaces: eSPI, LPC, IPMB, KCS, BT (Block Transfer).

• BS/MS in CS, EE, CompE, or equivalent experience.

• Experience working with ODM/OEM partners on BMC firmware — leading engagements is a plus, but strong technical collaboration counts.

• Familiarity with Yocto / BitBake (or equivalent build systems for embedded Linux distributions).

• Production experience: BMC firmware you've shipped is running in a fleet today, and you've debugged it there.

• BMC security work: secure boot, RoT, DICE, SPDM, attestation, firmware resiliency, or response to a real firmware CVE.

• Familiarity with DC-MHS / DC-SCM and current OCP hardware management direction.

• Track record of growing a firmware engineering team — hiring, technical mentorship, and setting engineering practices.

• Active OpenBMC contributor or maintainer.

• Experience with GPU server platforms (HGX-class systems, GPU baseboard management, NVLink/PCIe topology debug).

• Background in host firmware (UEFI/BIOS, coreboot), CPLD, or retimer firmware.
