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
