Senior Firmware Engineer, FPGA

Role description

Role Overview

CoreWeave is expanding its firmware engineering organization to support next-generation AI compute platforms and the integrated firmware stack that powers them. As a Senior Firmware Engineer, FPGA & Platform Integration, you will design, implement, validate, and maintain FPGA-based platform functionality while ensuring clean integration with BMC firmware, BIOS, and hardware platforms deployed across CoreWeave’s data centers.

What You Will Do

Some of what you’ll work on: FPGA development – design, implement, and maintain FPGA logic for server-class or embedded platform functions, with a strong emphasis on Intel/Altera-based devices using Quartus. Platform integration – define and implement interfaces between FPGA logic and adjacent platform components including BMC firmware, BIOS, CPLDs, sensors, control paths, and board management functions.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role sits at a highly technical intersection of FPGA development, platform firmware integration, and large-scale operational reliability. You’ll help shape how critical platform functions are implemented, validated, and operated across next-generation compute systems.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in firmware, embedded systems, or FPGA development for server-class, platform, or embedded systems
• Hands-on professional experience developing with Intel/Altera FPGA devices
• Strong proficiency in Verilog or SystemVerilog for RTL development
• Strong proficiency in C or C++ for low-level firmware, embedded software, or platform integration work
• Experience with board bring-up, hardware validation, and system-level debugging
• Familiarity with common hardware interfaces and protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PCIe, or related platform control paths
• Experience debugging interactions across FPGA, firmware, BIOS, and hardware layers
• Comfort working in Linux environments with Git-based development workflows
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex cross-layer failures
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across hardware, firmware, software, QA, and vendor teams
