Job summary

Oxide Computer Company is seeking an FPGA/board software integration engineer to develop FPGA logic and supporting tools across hardware and software layers as products evolve from design through deployment.

You will write VHDL for power sequencing and monitoring, collaborate with hardware engineers on FPGA signal paths, and drive interfaces with software teams. A CI/automation mindset is valued, with remote-first work options.

Qualifications

• Timing closure on FPGA designs of varying sizes and performance, including I/O timing analysis.
• Experience implementing soft cores and working with hard IP.
• Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx devices and development tools.
• Experience with protocols such as I2C/I3C, SPI/QSPI, eSPI, or low-speed serial communication.
• Experience with high-speed SERDES protocols and encodings, such as 8b10b.
• A preference for automated workflows, continuous integration, and testing over vendor GUIs.

Responsibilities

• Write VHDL for board functions including power sequencing, monitoring, and flash content hash offload.
• Work with hardware engineers on board designs and signal paths involving FPGAs.
• Collaborate with software engineers to define and implement interfaces and protocols.
• Build tools that improve FPGA development workflows and integrate FPGA-based systems.
• Contribute directly to the design and ongoing evolution of the hardware platform.
• Document designs and support digital systems through deployment and maintenance.

Job description

Role overview

Develop FPGA logic and supporting tools for a computing hardware platform, enabling capabilities such as board management, monitoring, and hardware/software integration. The role works across the FPGA, board, and software layers as products evolve from design into deployed systems.

Responsibilities

• Write VHDL for board functions including power sequencing, monitoring, and flash content hash offload.
• Work with hardware engineers on board designs and signal paths involving FPGAs.
• Collaborate with software engineers to define and implement interfaces and protocols.
• Build tools that improve FPGA development workflows and integrate FPGA-based systems.
• Contribute directly to the design and ongoing evolution of the hardware platform.
• Document designs and support digital systems through deployment and maintenance.

Requirements

• Experience achieving timing closure on FPGA designs of different sizes and performance levels, including I/O timing analysis.
• Experience implementing soft cores and working with hard IP.
• Familiarity with AMD/Xilinx devices and development tools.
• Experience with protocols such as I2C/I3C, SPI/QSPI, eSPI, or low-speed serial communication.
• Experience with high-speed SERDES protocols and encodings, such as 8b10b.
• A preference for automated workflows, continuous integration, and testing over reliance on vendor GUIs.

Nice to have

• Experience building, shipping, and maintaining digital systems in the field.
• Enjoyment of collaborative hardware and software co-design.

Benefits and work setup

• Remote-first work with at least four hours of overlap with Pacific Time.
• Flexible working hours.
• Medical, dental, and vision plan premiums covered for employees and dependents.
