FPGA Engineer

Oxide Computer Company is seeking an FPGA Engineer to enable core functionality in its cloud computer platform and develop next-generation products. The role focuses on FPGA logic, hardware/software interfaces, workflow tooling, and evolving the hardware platform.

Responsibilities:

• Develop VHDL code that enables core board functionality ranging from power sequencing and monitoring to flash content hash offload
• Work with hardware engineers developing boards and signal paths around FPGAs
• Collaborate with software engineers to develop interfaces and protocols
• Develop tooling to accelerate FPGA workflows and integrate FPGA-based systems at the hardware/software interface
• Directly participate in the design and evolution of the Oxide hardware platform

Requirements:

• Have experience achieving timing closure on FPGA designs of varying size and performance, including I/O timing analysis
• Have experience implementing soft cores as well as working with hard IP, particularly with AMD/Xilinx devices and tools
• Have experience with a variety of protocols such as I2C/I3C, SPI/QSPI, eSPI, and low-speed serial communication protocols
• Have experience with high-speed SERDES based protocols and encodings (e.g. 8b10b)
• Are energized by the thought of working with a diverse group of hardware and software engineers to codesign hardware platforms
• Produce good documentation and/or written descriptions of your ideas
• Have experience building, shipping, and maintaining digital systems in the field
• Prefer continuous integration, testing, and automation over vendor GUIs
