Firmware Boot and Driver Engineer

You work where hardware and software meet: making the computer start safely, understand its devices, and recover when an update fails. Recovery is the part most teams underinvest in, and it is the part that decides whether a bad update is an inconvenience or a brick.

Apply for this roleAll roles

Open for applications. Starts at: Pilot expansion.

We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.

Where

Kirkland GarageUAE Garage

In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.

The work

What this person actually does

Build or integrate boot firmware, embedded-controller logic and drivers. Support measured or verified boot where the platform exposes it, signed updates, rollback protection and recovery. Document boundaries controlled by vendors and use supported interfaces.

  • ▸Device driver work on a mainstream operating system

Evidence

The exercise

How we would look at it together

Review a firmware update design for power-loss behavior and the risk of accepting a vulnerable older image.
