Are you an electrical engineer who prides yourself on building from first principles? We are seeking electrical engineers to join us in building the next generation of rack-scale, fully-integrated machines. We are looking for engineers who are comfortable working on complicated designs for their entire lifecycle, from concept all the way through sustaining engineering.

• Work with software engineers to co-design a system, finding ways to solve problems by making software and hardware cooperate rather than operate at cross-purposes

• Work with mechanical engineers to design servers, switches, and a rack that work together, solving everything from thermal to cabling along the way

• Design and develop electronic circuits for our high-speed boards

• Simulate and test the board designs

• Specify, design, and support functional test in manufacturing

• Ensure boards are compliant with all industry standards and regulatory requirements

These responsibilities are just a starting place! We’re a small company, we don’t have rigid roles, and we have a lot to do — we can help you grow wherever your interests take you.

• Love getting into the weeds of circuit design and love finding new and innovative ways to simulate and test board designs

• Approach schematic entry as a craft, realizing a readable schematic is easier to review and understand

• Want to work with the latest technologies, even if you know doing so might come with very limited documentation and having to figure out things yourself

• Are energized by the intricacies of signal and power integrity and you love diving into the complexity

• Have experience prototyping and testing your own boards from end to end

• Feel at home surrounded by oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, frequency counters, etc

• Have experience with leading PCB technology and electrical design as well as familiarity with the following areas: DDR4/5, PCIe and I2C/SPI/UART buses

• Believe in fully documenting your ideas

• Enjoy reading the documentation produced by others

• Are familiar with GitHub or willing to learn basic software development workflows

• Browse our public Requests for Discussion to get a flavor for how we work.

• Listen to Hiring Processes with Gergely Orosz to familiarize yourself with the Oxide hiring process.

• Check out our blog post on how we do remote hardware development

• Listen to some of our hardware-centric episodes of Oxide and Friends. A few recommendations:

  • Bringing up Cosmo on bringing up our AMD Turin-based compute sled

  • Tales from the Bringup Lab on bringing up our first compute sled

  • The Sidecar Switch on bringing up our switch

  • Cabling the Backplane on the mechanical and electrical design of the backplane

  • Oxide and the Chamber of Mysteries on our escapades achieving EMI compliance

  • The Power of Proto Boards! on how we quickly iterate on board design

  • Raiding the Minibar on our adventures with a board we designed to aid manufacturing
