Senior BSP / Platform Software Engineer

The role

Micas Networks is seeking a hands-on, experienced Senior BSP / Platform Software Engineer to own the board support package (BSP) and low-level platform software for our SONiC-based data center switches. In this role, you will bring up new switch hardware from first power-on through production; develop and maintain the bootloader, Linux kernel drivers, and platform layers that let SONiC and other open network operating systems run on Micas hardware; and work closely with hardware, silicon-vendor, and customer engineering teams to resolve the hardest low-level issues.

What you will do

Platform bring-up: Lead board bring-up of new switch platforms from first power-on through EVT/DVT/PVT and production, working with hardware engineers to debug and resolve critical low-level hardware/software issues.
BSP development: Develop, customize, and maintain BSPs for x86_64 and ARM CPU subsystems, including BIOS/UEFI and U-Boot configuration, Linux kernel porting, device tree/ACPI, and Yocto or Debian-based build layers.
Device drivers: Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers for CPLD/FPGA, I2C/SMBus multiplexers, PCIe, SPI, UART, MDIO, and GPIO, and for platform peripherals such as optical transceivers (QSFP/OSFP), fans, PSUs, thermal sensors, and LEDs, exposed through sysfs.
SONiC platform integration: Implement and maintain the SONiC platform layer, including platform modules, the sonic-platform Python API (chassis, SFP, fan, PSU, thermal, watchdog), PMON daemons, and device and port configuration, so SONiC runs reliably on every Micas platform.
Broadcom SDK and SAI: Port and integrate the Broadcom SDK (XGS/DNX) and SAI on Tomahawk/Trident-family switch silicon, including port mapping, SerDes/PHY settings, and chip configuration files.
ONIE and boot flow: Port and maintain ONIE (and ONL where needed) for new platforms, and own the installer and boot flow for SONiC and other NOS images.
BMC and firmware: Develop and integrate OpenBMC on ASPEED BMCs (AST2600-class), including IPMI and Redfish, and deliver in-field firmware updates for BIOS, CPLD/FPGA, BMC, and ONIE.
Validation and debug: Build hardware validation and diagnostic tools, and use kernel crash tooling (pstore/ramoops, kdump), JTAG, and lab instruments to root-cause failures in the lab and in customer deployments.
Release and quality: Maintain BSP code in Git, perform code reviews, own platform software builds and releases, and contribute to CI and automated regression testing for platform features.
Customer and vendor support: Serve as the platform software point of contact for hyperscaler, OEM, and ODM partners, and work with Broadcom and other component vendors on technical escalations.
