Sr Staff Engineer, Product Marketing

This senior role combines datacenter server-system expertise with product definition and marketing for MCU-based platform-management and control-plane solutions. The candidate will understand how server motherboards, CPU and GPU/AI accelerator trays, storage backplanes, power systems, and cooling subsystems are monitored and controlled. The focus is distributed management controllers, satellite controllers, and board-management MCUs that work alongside the baseboard management controller (BMC), rather than a replacement for the BMC itself. Working with hyperscalers, server OEMs, ODMs, and ecosystem partners, the candidate will translate system requirements into differentiated silicon, firmware, reference solutions, business cases, roadmaps, and go-to-market plans.  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or related field with 8+ years of relevant experience.   • Experience in system architecture, server platform management, embedded systems, semiconductor product definition, technical product management, or applications engineering.  • Strong system knowledge of server motherboards, CPU/GPU/AI accelerator platforms, storage backplanes, and power and cooling subsystems, including their management interfaces and controller partitioning.  • Strong understanding of BMC-based out-of-band management, satellite management controllers, MCU/RTOS firmware, and the boundary between local real-time control and system-level management.  • Working knowledge of MCTP transport, PLDM-based monitoring/control and firmware update, SPDM authentication and measurement exchange, and how device management integrates with BMC-hosted Redfish services.  • Familiarity with server sideband interfaces such as I2C/SMBus, I3C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and PMBus, and their implications for connectivity, latency, reliability, and MCU requirements.  • Ability to create product requirements, business cases, roadmaps, and go-to-market plans.  • Strong communication skills with executive, technical, customer, and cross-functional audiences.    • Preferred:  Experience with hyperscaler or enterprise servers, GPU/AI accelerator trays, rack management, power shelves, fan controllers, or liquid-cooling management.  • Practical exposure to OpenBMC integration, OCP DC-SCM/DC-SCI or modular server architectures, and interoperability testing of MCTP/PLDM/SPDM endpoints.  • Experience defining secure, software-enabled controllers with secure boot, hardware root of trust, device identity, signed firmware updates, recovery, SDKs, and reference designs.  • Experience with server bring-up, power sequencing, telemetry and fault diagnostics, firmware lifecycle management, or customer design-ins involving hyperscalers, OEMs/ODMs, and BMC ecosystem partners.  • Advanced degree in engineering or business, or equivalent senior product strategy experience.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     • Product definition:  Define MCU requirements for server platform management, satellite controllers, and distributed control across compute, accelerator, storage, power, and cooling subsystems.  • Translate customer and market input into MRDs, business cases, roadmap proposals, and investment priorities.  • Define use cases for rack-level monitoring and control, board housekeeping, power sequencing, reset control, sensor aggregation, telemetry, thermal management, power capping, fault reporting, and recovery.  • Define the complete solution: silicon, embedded firmware, management-p
