The Embedded Software Engineer, Data Center Engineering (Starmind) joins a cross-disciplinary team designing training and inference compute clusters from first principles. In this role, you will design, validate, and ship code that autonomously manages hundreds of thousands of coherently connected GPUs. Your daily work involves developing real-time software for compute tray host systems, baseboard management controllers, network switches, and peripheral rack hardware. You will build tools for data analysis, visualization, and test execution across hardware-in-the-loop regression testbeds. The position requires proficiency in C, C++, or assembly, along with experience in distributed systems architecture within a Linux environment and networking protocols like UDP and TCP/IP. You will solve complex problems regarding thermal, electrical, and optical systems to maximize the efficiency and reliability of terrestrial computing.
