Networking FPGA Engineer

Overview

Job Description

Responsibilities

• - Develop VHDL code that underpins a significant portion of the Oxide Cloud Computer network data plane running at terabit speeds
• - Design and implement both fixed network functions and programmable soft cores
• - Work with operating systems engineers and help to develop drivers for FPGA-based network data plane devices
• - Work with compiler engineers to target a P4/Rust-like language to FPGA soft cores
• - Work with hardware engineers developing boards and signal paths around FPGA chips
• - 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 overall Oxide network data plane

Required Skills

• - Have developed high-speed network functions using FPGAs
• - Have a good understanding of Ethernet at the serdes/PCS/MAC level
• - Have experience working with PCIe from both the HDL and operating system perspective
• - Have a good understanding of TCP/IP networks in terms of the protocols involved and how they interact in the data plane
• - Have experience achieving timing closure on very large FPGA designs
• - Have experience implementing soft cores
• - Have experience with DSP/VLIW processor architectures
• - Are energized by the thought of working with a diverse group of hardware, software, networking and operating systems engineers to develop a network data plane through hardware/software codesign
• - Produce good documentation and/or written descriptions of your ideas
• - Believe that the closed nature of low-level networking is a barrier to progress and want to work with a team breaking down that barrier

Benefits

• - Remote first
• - Flexible working hours
• - Premium healthcare with 100% coverage of premiums for employees and dependents
