Summary

The Senior Lead Engineer, Software develops, debugs, tests, deploys and supports code to be deployed in systems/products/equipment for various applications. They write, debug, maintain, and test software in various common languages and for software at various levels in the hierarchy (from Firmware to Application). Software creation follows an agreed to development process (such as Agile, Scrum, etc.) and complies with the product life cycle development (phase/gate deliverables).

The Senior Lead Engineer, Software works in cross functional teams with other designers, customers, manufacturing engineering and project leadership to ensure robust and high quality product development. Enhance designs with feedback from reviews in areas such as manufacturing, test, supply chain, reliability, industrial design and simulations.

In this role, the Senior Lead Engineer leads OpenBMC platform management software development for Celestica's high-performance networking and compute platforms. Working upstream-first on the Linux Foundation OpenBMC codebase, the engineer delivers Redfish-based remote management, platform bring-up, telemetry, thermal control, and firmware update capabilities in close partnership with hardware, manufacturing, and customer teams. Deep understanding of embedded Linux and Yocto.
