FPGA Prototyping Engineer

You test hardware ideas early enough that they can still change, building prototypes that let software and architecture teams learn before anyone commits to custom silicon. A useful prototype with honest measurements is worth far more here than an impressive demo.

Apply for this roleAll roles

Open for applications. Starts at: Research program.

We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.

Where

Kirkland GarageUAE Garage

In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.

The work

What this person actually does

Map proposed subsystems to FPGA platforms, connect host software and collect workload traces. Build practical interfaces and instrumentation. Explain which prototype results transfer to an ASIC and which are artifacts of the FPGA implementation.

The milestone

What it looks like when it is working

In your first 90 days, demonstrate one end-to-end prototype with a correctness suite and a written assessment of its architectural value.

Required

What we would not hire without

  • ▸FPGA toolchains, digital logic, host interfaces, and debugging real physical systems
  • ▸You produce honest measurements, including the ones that kill an idea
  • ▸You build for someone else to learn from, with the harness and the documentation
  • ▸Comfort at the boundary between hardware and the software that will run on it

Nice to have

What would be a bonus, not a gate

  • ▸High-speed host interfaces such as PCIe
  • ▸Emulation platforms
  • ▸You have prototyped something that then became silicon

Evidence

What would show us you can do it

Bring experience with FPGA toolchains, digital logic, host interfaces and debugging physical systems. A useful prototype and honest measurements matter more than an impressive demo video.

Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.

The exercise

How we would look at it together

Choose a prototype boundary for a new memory subsystem and explain what the prototype can and cannot validate.

The package

What comes with the job

  • ▸Stock options for every full-time teammate, four-year vesting with a one-year cliff
  • ▸Annual performance bonus, or on-target earnings with uncapped commission for customer-facing roles
  • ▸Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover, on the highest plan tier available to us
  • ▸A 401(k) with company matching
  • ▸Pay reviewed every year and on promotion, benchmarked to your role and market
  • ▸A budget of AI tokens of your own
  • ▸Gym membership, and retailer discounts redeemed through our benefits app
  • ▸Remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time
  • ▸$1,000 plus $10,000 in equity for a referral we hire who stays a year

Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
