About FuriosaAI FuriosaAI builds high-performance, high-efficiency AI compute for the Inference Era. Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. Our vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise. Key Responsibilities Design and develop the NPU Management Interface (MI) firmware/software enabling communication between Host/BMC and NPU devices Implement and maintain MCTP, PLDM, and custom MI command handling for out-of-band NPU management, monitoring, and control Develop device-management features over SMBus/I²C, I3C, PCIe VDM, or custom sideband channels Integrate MI functionality into the NPU firmware, including: Health and error reporting Thermal and power telemetry Runtime status, utilization metrics, and debug information Ensure compliance with industry specifications by performing spec-driven design, implementation, and validation Support bring-up, interoperability testing, rack-scale platform integration, and system-level validation Develop test strategies and validation tools based on MCTP and PLDM specifications Perform protocol compliance testing, regression testing, and interoperability verification Minimum Qualifications Strong proficiency in embedded C or C++ Experience with firmware development for NPU/accelerator, GPU, or SoC Understanding of management protocols including MCTP (over I²C/SMBus, I3C or PCIe VDM) and PLDM Experience with low-level interfaces: SMBus/I²C, I3C, SPI, PCIe Ability to interpret complex protocol specifications and convert them into robust implementations Familiarity with device telemetry, sensor frameworks, watchdog/reset flows, and health monitoring Experience with system-level debugging using logic/protocol analyzers and low-level debug tools Knowledge of embedded systems, bare-metal or RTOS environments, and firmware lifecycle flows Preferred Qualifications Experience of BMC firmware stacks such as OpenBMC, Redfish, IPMI, and PLDM device-model implementations Background in spec creation, requirement definition, or standards compliance validation Experience defining FRU data, power/thermal management policies, and diagnostics frameworks Familiarity with secure provisioning, firmware update mechanisms, and lifecycle state management Experience with large-scale datacenter or HPC system integration (rack-level management, telemetry aggregation) Contributions to firmware for accelerator, MCTP/PLDM implementations, or open-source system firmware projects Contact recruit@furiosa.ai

144,883 engineer jobs are open right now

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.

Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.

Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.

When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
