OpenAI's Hardware organization is hiring an embedded engineer for its in-house AI accelerator. The work covers drivers for hardware peripherals, functional software models that simulate SoC uncore logic so firmware can be tested against them, and low-latency, high-throughput embedded code that manages hardware resources. The posting asks for five or more years in embedded software, strong C/C++ or Rust, RTOS and hardware-driver experience, and HW/SW co-design; ARM, PCIe, Ethernet, GPU and cluster experience are listed as pluses. Firmware bring-up, field debugging and vendor integration are part of the job.
