Firmware Engineering Manager

What You’ll Do

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.

• 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.

Who You Are

You are an emerging engineering leader who enjoys supporting and growing engineers while staying close to the technical work. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity, building new processes, and learning alongside your team in a fast-paced environment.

Minimum Qualifications
