Firmware Engineering Manager

CoreWeave is building a new Firmware Engineering team focused on developing and maintaining BMC and BIOS firmware for our server infrastructure. As a Firmware Engineering Manager, you will help establish and lead this team, supporting firmware engineers as they build reliable, scalable, and production-ready firmware for our data center platforms.

Reporting to a senior engineering manager, you will combine people leadership with technical guidance, helping shape team processes, execution, and culture while partnering closely with hardware, platform, and operations teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead & support the team – manage, mentor, and coach a small team of firmware engineers through regular 1-on-1s, goal-setting, and feedback, fostering a collaborative and psychologically safe environment.

• Execution & delivery – help plan and track firmware development work, ensuring timely delivery of features, bug fixes, and platform enablement across multiple hardware programs.

• Technical guidance – participate in design discussions and reviews, helping the team make sound technical decisions around embedded firmware, BMC architectures, and system integration.

• Cross-functional collaboration – work closely Hardware Engineering and Systems Engineering teams to ensure firmware aligns with hardware requirements and production needs.

• Quality & reliability – support best practices around testing, validation, debugging, and documentation to ensure firmware reliability in large-scale production environments.

• Process building – help establish lightweight development processes, documentation standards, and tooling appropriate for a growing firmware organization.

• Grow the team – partner with recruiting and senior leadership to interview and onboard new firmware engineers as the team scales.

• Communicate & align – provide clear status updates, surface risks early, and communicate trade-offs and progress to stakeholders and leadership.

Requirements:

• 2+ years of experience in an engineering leadership role (engineering manager, tech lead with people management responsibilities, or similar).

• Prior hands-on experience as a firmware or embedded systems engineer.

• Working knowledge of embedded firmware development using C/C++ in Linux-based environments.

• Familiarity with BMC firmware stacks such as OpenBMC and/or AMI MegaRAC/SPX.

• Understanding of hardware interfaces and system-level concepts (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, board bring-up).

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across hardware and software teams.

• Passion for mentoring engineers and building inclusive, high-performing teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting firmware development for data center or server-class hardware.

• Familiarity with Redfish, IPMI, or other data center management protocols.

• Exposure to firmware testing, validation, and production bring-up processes.

• Experience helping establish engineering processes in a new or growing team.

• Background in fast-growing or hardware-software integrated environments.
