Senior Data Center Solutions Architect: BMS & Telemetry

Supermicro; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 195,000 - 225,000; Full time

Job summary

Supermicro is seeking a Staff Data Center Solutions Architect to design software connecting BMS and datacenter hardware to monitoring and orchestration platforms. You will work across EE, hardware, and software teams to ensure secure, performant telemetry and control within data center racks and systems.

The role focuses on implementing industry standards like BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, and Redfish, building robust interfaces, and delivering scalable software for real-time monitoring and automation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, including experience building software that interfaces directly with hardware
• Experience with BMS integration or industrial/building automation protocols (BACnet, Modbus, SNMP)
• Experience with monitoring and alerting solutions as well as storage and retrieval
• Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, or Go
• Familiarity with EE-adjacent hardware interfaces and concepts (BMC, IPMI, sensors, firmware interaction)
• Experience with Linux systems programming and low-level or driver-adjacent software development
• Understanding of datacenter infrastructure fundamentals (power distribution, cooling, rack-level systems)

Responsibilities

• BMS Integration & Control: Design and develop software that connects to and monitors Building Management Systems (BMS) and other hardware subsystems within data center racks, enabling real-time monitoring, control, and automation of critical infrastructure such as power, cooling, and environmental sensors.
• Hardware-Software Interface Development: Build applications, services, and drivers that connect to EE-adjacent interfaces (BMC, IPMI, Modbus, BACnet, SNMP, Redfish, and similar protocols) to control and monitor datacenter hardware subsystems.
• Data Center Systems Software Architecture: Define the software architecture for datacenter hardware control and telemetry systems, ensuring performant, resilient, and secure interoperability between hardware subsystems and higher-level orchestration and monitoring platforms.
• Real-Time Monitoring & Telemetry: Develop services to capture, process, and expose real-time telemetry (power, thermal, airflow, and rack-level sensor data) from BMS and hardware subsystems to internal dashboards and monitoring stacks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration with EE Teams: Work closely with electrical engineering and hardware teams to understand hardware interfaces, protocols, and signal-level details, translating hardware capabilities into robust, maintainable software abstractions.
• Protocol & Standards Implementation: Implement and maintain support for industry-standard datacenter and building automation protocols (BACnet, Modbus, SNMP, Redfish, IPMI) within Supermicro's software stack.
• API & Platform Integration: Create APIs and integration layers so that BMS and hardware subsystem data can be consumed by Supermicro's broader DCBBS cloud orchestration and monitoring platforms.
• Documentation & Runbooks: Maintain accurate architecture documentation, integration runbooks, and troubleshooting guides. Contribute to onboarding materials and cross-functional platform knowledge.
