Job Description
Join a leader in rugged embedded computing solutions supporting demanding military, aerospace, industrial, and high-reliability applications.
This is an opportunity to join the Huntsville engineering organization as the site's key BIOS/UEFI specialist, working closely with hardware, FPGA, firmware, and software engineers on next-generation embedded computing products.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You will work on new product development, starting with an AMI/Intel reference BIOS and customizing it for newly designed hardware. You will have meaningful ownership of how the BIOS is developed and will be involved from initial board bring-up through a working product.
What Makes This Role Different
Become the primary BIOS/UEFI technical specialist in the Huntsville organization.
Work directly with hardware and firmware engineers during new board bring-up.
Customize and develop BIOS for new embedded computing platforms rather than simply maintaining legacy code.
Start with AMI BIOS / Intel reference BIOS and adapt it to hardware.
Work at the fundamental platform level where hardware, firmware, BIOS, and operating systems come together.
Have significant technical ownership and latitude in BIOS development.
Solve challenging hardware-versus-firmware issues alongside engineers from multiple disciplines.
Take products from early hardware/BIOS bring-up toward production.
The hiring team is specifically looking for someone who has personally developed UEFI BIOS and participated in board bring-up on hardware running the BIOS they developed.
They Value and Appreciate Their Employees.
The Team Is Looking For An Engineer Who Brings
Strong technical ownership and engineering judgment.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Enthusiasm for solving difficult technical problems.
The ability to explain technical issues clearly to engineers from different disciplines.
A hands‑on approach to hardware/firmware debugging.
The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with hardware, FPGA, IPMC, and software engineers.
Your Role With The Company - New Product Development
As a Senior BIOS / UEFI Engineer, you will develop and customize BIOS for new products that are rugged embedded computing platforms. You will work from an AMI/Intel reference BIOS, adapt it to new hardware, and support BIOS bring-up alongside the hardware and firmware teams.
Your Work Will Include
Developing and customizing UEFI BIOS for new products.
Performing BIOS bring-up on newly designed boards.
Debugging hardware/firmware issues during initial board startup.
Working with hardware, FPGA, and other firmware engineers to validate system functionality.
Supporting interfaces such as USB, PCI Express, SATA, and other board‑level functionality.
Taking BIOS development from initial bring-up through production.
Qualifications
Must Have
5+ years of hands‑on BIOS development experience. (will consider less for exceptional background)
Strong experience developing UEFI BIOS; modern UEFI experience is required rather than legacy BIOS exposure alone.
Demonstrated experience personally developing BIOS, not simply working with systems that use BIOS.
Experience with BIOS bring‑up on newly designed hardware.
Experience where the candidate's BIOS actually ran on the board they helped bring up.
Strong working proficiency in C.
Ability to perform low-level programming involving registers, memory, and peripherals.
Experience customizing or porting BIOS to new hardware.
Strong understanding of hardware/firmware interaction.
Experience troubleshooting hardware and firmware integration issues during board bring‑up.
Ability to work directly with hardware engineers and other engineering disciplines.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Willingness and ability to work full‑time on‑site in Huntsville, Alabama.
Core BIOS / UEFI Background
Hands‑on UEFI BIOS development.
BIOS customization for new hardware.
Experience with Intel reference BIOS is highly valuable.
Experience with Intel/x86/x86‑64 platforms.
Understanding of computer architecture and platform initialization.
Desired
AMI BIOS experience
Phoenix BIOS experience
Secure Boot / Trusted Boot
Intel Core i7 experience
AMD processor / Ryzen UEFI experience
ARM, NXP/Freescale, or PowerPC experience
Built‑In Test (BIT)
IPMI
Embedded Linux
Xilinx SDK
NXP K21
U‑Boot
Slim Bootloader
RTOS experience
GCC and cross‑compilers
Rugged embedded computing
VPX / OpenVPX
VME
CompactPCI
Defense/aerospace experience
DO‑178B/C
Git or Perforce
Klocwork/static analysis
Jenkins/continuous integration
JIRA and Confluence
Agile/Scrum development environments
Experience supporting BIOS through product release, manufacturing, or sustaining activities
