BIOS Engineer - Switch Platform (Wireline)

About the role

Jabil is looking for an experienced, self-driven BIOS Engineer to join its firmware and system software team. The role covers designing, developing and maintaining BIOS/UEFI firmware for 800G datacenter switch platforms, working closely with hardware, BMC, PRoT and cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, secure and high-performance firmware.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain and debug BIOS/UEFI firmware based on switch hardware architecture and platform requirements.
• Implement new BIOS features such as power sequencing, hardware initialization, PCI enumeration and boot flow management.
• Act as platform owner or domain expert, guiding and mentoring team members on BIOS architecture and bring-up.
• Collaborate with hardware, BMC, PRoT and SONiC/NOS teams to bring up and validate BIOS on custom switch platforms.
• Implement secure boot, measured boot and UEFI Secure Boot configurations.
• Maintain platform ACPI tables, SMBIOS structures and UEFI device drivers.
• Take part in system integration, validation and root-cause analysis.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or a related field.
• Experience with at least one complete hardware platform lifecycle, from bring-up to production.
• Ability to port BIOS firmware to custom hardware or implement platform-specific initialization sequences.

Required skills

• EDK2 or proprietary UEFI framework development.
• C/C++ and embedded firmware debugging.
• x86 or ARM boot flows and low-level protocols (PCIe, SPI, I2C, SMBus, UART, GPIO, eSPI).
• UEFI specifications (PI, SMM, DXE, PEI, BDS, shell) and ACPI/ASL and SMBIOS.

Preferred: datacenter switch experience, secure boot and TPM 2.0, OpenBMC/IPMI/Redfish, and hardware bring-up or validation tooling.
