- FRU and Sensor Management
- Experience in BMC bring-up and integrating BMC on Aspeed or Nuvoton SoCs (e.g., AST2600).
- Experience with board/platform-level debug, analysis and optimization.
- Understanding digital processing and electronics is an asset.
- In-depth knowledge of CPU / APU architecture is an asset.
- Good understanding of computer architecture.
- Laboratory experience, including familiarity with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
Top 3-5 Must Have Skill:
- Experienced in writing systemd services, DBus interfaces, and Python or shell scripts.
- Hands-on experience with OpenBMC, Yocto Project, and BitBake.
- Good understanding of device tree, Linux kernel configuration, and system demons (phosphor-services).
