About the job
MTS Firmware Engineer (AI Systems)
📍 San Jose, CA (On-site)
I am partnering with a well-funded AI infrastructure company building next-generation, purpose-built systems for transformer inference. They are redefining performance at the hardware-software boundary, enabling entirely new classes of AI applications that are not possible with traditional GPU architectures.
I’m looking for Firmware Engineers to help develop low-level systems that unlock the full potential of large-scale transformer models.
What You’ll Do
- Develop and optimize firmware for cutting-edge AI hardware systems
- Work across the stack, from low-level drivers and IO to higher-level system integration
- Collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to maximize system performance
- Debug, test, and bring up new hardware platforms
- Contribute to scalable, high-performance systems powering next-gen AI workloads
- Solve complex engineering challenges across performance, reliability, and efficiency
Required
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
- Strong experience in software/firmware development
- Solid understanding of data structures and algorithms
- Experience developing and testing software for production systems
- Hands-on experience with firmware design, implementation, and debugging
- Familiarity with embedded systems and IO technologies (I2C, SPI, PCIe, DRAM, etc.)
- Understanding of system-level concepts like scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency
