Bangalore
Director of Firmware & Embedded Software
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
• 12+ 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++, 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.
