Principal FPGA Electrical Engineer

Job Description

Oracle's West Coast Hardware Development organization seeks to add a Principal FPGA Electrical Engineer to work with our FPGA, electrical, mechanical, SI and power teams in Santa Clara, California!

Here is your opportunity work with ever changing latest unreleased technology from Intel, AMD, Nvidia and other compute, storage, and communications companies to design unparalleled servers for Oracle's Cloud deployments,

database appliance, middleware, and AI solution offerings. Work in a smaller organization within Oracle to team up with other technical experts in Signal Integrity, Power, Electrical, Validation, Mechanical, Diagnostics, BIOS and OS, to leverage their expertise and further enhance your expertise in the field of FPGA design using world class FPGA tools and test equipment.

Build your network with the help and collaboration of 160,000 talented and highly motivated Oracle colleagues, and over 400,000 customers from around the globe.

This position focuses on in-house designs! Enjoy the flexibility that allows you to balance your career and personal time while keeping at the leading edge of server technology and designs. The team is responsible for the architecture, analysis, detailed design, development, integration, test, and delivery of Oracle servers based on the latest high-end server-grade merchant silicon. The systems delivered are integrated as building blocks for some of Oracle's market leading and growing Cloud Systems & Appliances.

The FPGA requirements of our next generation Oracle servers are very demanding with increasing focus on a high level of integration for our cloud and vertically integrated rack level solutions. This position is not in an FPGA service group but rather on a product team with full ownership responsibilities!

As an Electrical Design Engineer focusing on FPGA design, you will be responsible for system level and board level architecture and detailed design. You will take ownership of the FPGA work across all product development phases out to the transition to volume production. You will need to stay abreast of the latest developments in server technology and rapidly adopt & translate these into reliable FPGA subsystems for our Oracle offerings.
