We need someone who has built firmware using up-to-date c++. Director of Firmware About the Role

EnCharge AI is seeking an experienced Director of Firmware & Embedded Software to lead the development of low-level software that powers our next-generation AI accelerator platform. This role is pivotal in bridging silicon and software — ensuring our hardware delivers best-in-class performance, efficiency, and reliability for cutting-edge AI workloads.

You’ll lead a team of engineers responsible for firmware architecture, hardware bring-up, driver development, and performance optimization. The ideal candidate is hands-on, strategic, and deeply familiar with the challenges of scaling embedded systems for high-performance compute environments.

Key Responsibilities

- Technical Leadership o Drive the firmware and embedded software strategy for our AI accelerator stack.

o Architect system software components that interface directly with hardware blocks, DMA engines, device-to-device and on-chip interconnects.

o Oversee development of firmware, bootloaders, drivers, and runtime control software enabling low-latency AI execution.

o Lead bring-up, diagnostics, and debug for new silicon platforms in close collaboration with hardware and compiler teams.

- Execution & Delivery o Build and mentor a high-performing team across firmware, embedded, and systems software.

o Establish robust software processes, CI/CD pipelines, and test infrastructure for hardware-in-loop validation.





o Ensure seamless integration of firmware with runtimes, and orchestration layers.

o Partner with silicon architects to co-design features that maximize utilization,

throughput, and power efficiency.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration o Work closely with hardware, compiler, and ML runtime teams to define software-

hardware co-optimization strategies.

o Partner with product and customer teams to support bring-up, tuning, and deployment in customer environments.

o Represent firmware and embedded software in company-level technical reviews and roadmap planning.

Qualifications

- 15+ years of experience in firmware or embedded software development, with at least 5

years in technical leadership roles.

- Proven experience shipping firmware/software for high-performance computing,

GPUs, AI accelerators, or SoCs.

- Deep understanding of firmware architecture, RTOS, drivers, memory subsystems,

power management, and low-level I/O.

- Strong knowledge of C++ (C++17 and beyond ), embedded toolchains, and performance profiling methodologies.
- Familiarity with PCIe, UCIe, HBM, DDR, DMA, interrupt handling, cache coherency, and SoC debug.
- Experience collaborating with silicon design, compiler/runtime, and systems software teams.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills — able to drive alignment across hardware and software organizations. Contact:
