Description -

Join the team behind HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI, one of the most widely deployed firmware diagnostics solutions across HP commercial and consumer PCs.

Our team develops and maintains diagnostics, validation, and platform enablement solutions running directly in the UEFI environment, helping customers, manufacturing sites, service centers, and engineering teams identify and resolve hardware issues before the operating system loads.

What We Work On

UEFI Diagnostics

Develop and enhance diagnostics for HP platforms, including:

  • Memory diagnostics and stress testing
  • Storage and Disk Self-Test
  • Battery health diagnostics
  • Audio diagnostics (UAC, HD Audio, I2S, SoundWire)
  • Camera diagnostics (UVC, MIPI Camera)

  • Rust-based firmware and diagnostics development
  • AI-assisted software engineering workflows
  • Virtualized firmware development using QEMU and simulation environments

Why This Team Is Different

This role sits at the intersection of:

Hardware + UEFI Firmware + ACPI + Diagnostics + AI

You will have opportunities to work on everything from legacy x86 commercial platforms to next-generation ARM AI PCs, solving challenging problems across the full system stack.

Preferred Skills

  • UEFI / BIOS / EDK2
  • C/C++ and/or Rust
  • ACPI development or debugging
