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.
As an electrical engineer working at Oxide, you will:
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.
You will thrive in this role if 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
