Job description

We are seeking an experienced IT Engineer to design, implement, and maintain the technology infrastructure that supports our organization. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in enterprise IT systems along with the technical fluency to support engineering and manufacturing environments. Experience within the FPGA or semiconductor industry is strongly preferred, as this role will work closely with hardware and design engineering teams whose workflows depend on specialized compute, licensing, and lab infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

Design, deploy, and maintain servers, storage, networking, and virtualization infrastructure across corporate and engineering environments

Administer and support enterprise systems including Active Directory, Windows/Linux servers, cloud platforms (Azure), and backup/disaster recovery solutions

Partner with hardware and design engineering teams to support EDA/CAD tool environments, compute farms, and software license servers common in FPGA workflows

Manage endpoint security, patching, and compliance across desktops, laptops, and lab equipment

Troubleshoot and resolve escalated infrastructure, network, and system issues (Tier 2/3 support)

Evaluate, recommend, and implement new technologies to improve reliability, performance, and scalability of IT systems

Maintain network infrastructure including switches, routers, firewalls, and VPNs

Support IT security initiatives, including vulnerability management, access controls, and incident response

Document system configurations, standard operating procedures, and infrastructure architecture

Participate in on‑call rotation for critical infrastructure support

Support onboarding/offboarding processes, hardware provisioning, and software license management

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)

Minimum of 8 years of professional experience in information technology, systems administration, or network engineering

Strong hands‑on experience with Windows Server and Linux system administration

Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, routing/switching)

Co‑founders Sammy Cheung and Tony Ngai formed EFinix in 2012 after spending over 25 years working at other semiconductor companies, including FPGA companies and other programmable providers. They began by inventing a unique, disruptive, flexible FPGA fabric, the Quantum™ architecture. Quantum is Efinix’s key technology: an FPGA fabric arranged in a simple block‑based format with interspersed columns of RAM and multipliers or DSP blocks. This fabric is designed to be process and fab agnostic, as well as compatible with a true SoC design flow.

Efinix’s high‑performance Titanium FPGAs are built on a 16 nm process and feature an enhanced Quantum fabric that is custom‑tailored for the computing demands of mainstream applications. This scalable platform targets markets from intelligent edge devices to industrial automation to vision systems to edge servers and communications.

The first‑generation Trion® FPGAs are based on the patent‑protected Quantum architecture. This family gives customers access to this key new FPGA fabric, enabling edge applications or high‑volume applications such as mobile and IoT that need devices that are optimized for small packages, low power, and volume.

Efinix is a global company with offices worldwide. Our investors are an assortment of high‑tech semiconductor and system vendors who saw value in our Quantum architecture and our team. Developing and producing FPGAs is not a simple matter, and it is imperative to have people who understand, and successfully create, both hardware and software. We have pulled together a strong team to meet this challenge.
