Excellent opportunity for a Staff Firmware Engineer with deep embedded C experience to join a world-leading technology business and play a key role in the firmware that underpins the next generation of global computing infrastructure.

This organisation has built one of the world's most pervasive compute architectures, powering everything from IoT and automotive through to desktops, data centres and the cloud. Their infrastructure platform solutions are the foundation for the next era of digital infrastructure, and this team is at the heart of delivering production-quality firmware to customers worldwide.

In this role you will join a core System Solutions team, owning the development, support and maintenance of platform firmware used in real-world infrastructure deployments. You'll lead defect triage and fixes, coordinate downstream release updates, and act as a primary technical interface to customers while collaborating closely with internal firmware and release engineering teams.

The ideal candidate will be an expert in embedded C with a strong background in product-quality firmware, with proven, hands-on bootloader experience as an essential requirement, alongside device drivers, ideally within server or infrastructure environments. You'll be comfortable owning complex defect management, working with standards such as UEFI and ACPI, and engaging directly with customers and open-source communities around infrastructure platform solutions.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a truly world-leading organisation, work on technology that sits at the core of "wherever computing happens", and benefit from a highly competitive package, exceptional equity and long-term career progression within cutting-edge infrastructure engineering.

The Role:
 *Support, maintain and evolve production-quality firmware for complex infrastructure platform solutions
 *Lead defect triage, management and fixing, including feature backporting for downstream releases
 *Act as a primary technical interface to customers on complex firmware and system software issues
 *Collaborate with firmware and release teams on bootloaders, device drivers, UEFI/ACPI and system software

The Person:
 *Expert in C for embedded systems with strong low-level debugging skills
 *Proven experience delivering and maintaining product-quality firmware, with essential hands-on bootloader experience (plus device drivers and system software)
 *Background in UEFI/ACPI and structured defect management for complex systems (ideally server/infrastructure)
 *Familiar with RAS, hypervisors, CXL, power management and security; open-source experience highly beneficial
