Today’s AI performance is frequently limited by communication bottlenecks. Eridu introduces multiple industry-first innovations across silicon, packaging, software, and systems to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in performance and unlock greater GPU utilization to speed training job completion times and tokens-per-second for more profitable inference. We do this while simultaneously reducing capital and power costs and improving reliability.\nThe company’s solutions and value proposition have been widely validated by leading hyperscalers.\nEridu has raised over $200M to date including its most recent, oversubscribed Series A round. The company is led by a veteran team of Silicon Valley executives who have delivered multiple billion dollar product lines and led multiple companies to billion dollar exits, including serial entrepreneur Drew Perkins, co-founder of Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN), Lightera (acq. by Ciena), Gainspeed (acq. by Nokia) and Mojo Vision (the world’s leading micro-LED company). The company is in execution mode and has a world-class engineering team with decades of experience in state-of-the-art silicon, packaging, optics, software, and systems. Eridu is working with best-in-class supply chain partners including silicon, packaging and systems.\nVisit our website eridu.ai to learn more.\nPosition Overview\nWe are seeking a highly skilled BSP Platform Engineer for the design and development of the Linux-based Board Support Package (BSP) within our platform software organization. In this role, you will architect, implement, and optimize the BSP stack for high-scale networking platforms, ensuring robustness, reliability, and performance across diverse hardware configurations.\nResponsibilities\nDesign, implement, and maintain high-quality Linux BSP and low-level platform software, including bootloaders, kernel subsystems, device drivers, and essential system services.\nLead secure boot architecture and implementation, including chain-of-trust design, key provisioning, firmware authentication, measured boot, and integration with TPM/Root-of-Trust hardware.\nDrive early hardware bring-up and board initialization for new platforms, enabling stable operation of peripherals such as EEPROM, CPLD, GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, thermal sensors, and watchdogs.\nValidate functionality and performance across multiple hardware spins, including diagnostics, power-on self-tests, interface validation, and regression testing on supervisor/management boards.\nCollaborate closely with hardware, system, security, and manufacturing teams to define and optimize platform behavior around thermal management, power sequencing, reliability, and system resilience at the BSP layer. •\nEnable control-plane software integration with SONiC platform services or custom management APIs, ensuring robust communication between the management CPU/BMC and the switching ASIC.\nSupport production readiness through debugging, root cause analysis, DVT/EVT support, and long-term maintainability improvements\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s in Computer Science/ECE with 5-10 years of experience, or Master’s with 6+ years in embedded systems, firmware, or platform software development.\nDeep proficiency in C/C++ programming in Linux-based cross-compiled environments, including familiarity with compiler toolchains (Yocto/Buildroot), debugging tools (gdb, JTAG, Lauterbach), and performance profiling.\nStrong expertise in embedded Linux, BSP development, board initialization, FPGAto-CPU/BMC communication protocols and low-level system software, including bootloaders, kernel bring-up, device drivers.\nHands-on experience with secure boot, chain of trust, key provisioning, TPM/Rootof-Trust integration, verified boot, and firmware authentication.\nExperience with hardware bring-up on new boards and SoCs, including DDR initialization, power sequencing, clock/reset trees, and low-speed peripheral drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, EEPROM, CPLD).\nExperience developing platform SDK components, including board configuration frameworks, diagnostics, platform abstraction layers, and device-tree-based initialization.\nExperience with control-plane integration for network switches/routers, including management CPU to ASIC interfaces over I2C/PCIe.\nExperience with modern network operating systems such as SONiC, especially the platform/BSP layer (platform drivers, platform API, sensors, transceivers, thermal/power integration).\nExperience with simulation and emulation environments, including QEMU, hardware behavioral models, or RTL-based SoC simulations for pre-silicon validation.\nStrong debugging skills, including board bring-up logs, kernel crash analysis, JTAG debug, and low-level system trace analysis.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing BSPs for switching or routing platforms (modular chassis or fixed-configuration systems). •\nKnowledge of network OS like SONiC and platform daemons (OpenBMC, SystemD services).\nFamiliarity with hardware abstraction layers (HALs) or platform SDKs used in switch OS architectures.\nGood understanding of Ethernet switching hardware at the platform level, e.g., PHY initialization, MAC/PHY interfaces, SERDES bring-up, and basic Layer 2/3 datapath awareness for platform integration (not protocol development).\nWhy Join Us?\nAt Eridu, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of AI infrastructure, working with a world-class team on groundbreaking technology that pushes the boundaries of AI performance. Your contributions will directly impact the next generation of AI infrastructure solutions, transforming the performance of AI data centers.\nThe starting base salary for the selected candidate will be established based on their relevant skills, experience, qualifications, work location, market trends, and the compensation of employees in comparable roles.\nNotice to Recruiting Agencies\nEridu does not accept unsolicited resumes or candidate profiles from staffing agencies or third-party recruiters.
