About the role
About the Company
OLIX is addressing the massive infrastructure gap in the AI industry. The OLIX Decode Accelerator 1 (DX-1) is the first accelerator architected specifically for decode, utilizing rack-scale co-design of logic, data movement, packaging, optics, and interconnect to enable a step change in system-level performance.
Responsibilities
- Define and own FPGA architecture for high-performance, high-bandwidth systems
- Lead design and optimisation of high-speed interface subsystems (PCIe Gen4, multi-lane transceivers >25 Gb/s NRZ)
- Architect deterministic timing and synchronisation strategies across complex multi-device systems
- Drive FPGA-based prototyping efforts to support silicon development and system validation
- Establish design methodologies, coding standards, and verification strategies
- Guide implementation of robust error detection and correction mechanisms (ECC, SECDED)
- Partner with software teams to define hardware–software interfaces and system control models
- Lead system-level debugging of complex hardware–software interactions
- Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership across FPGA development efforts
- Identify performance bottlenecks and drive architectural improvements
Requirements
- 8+ years of FPGA design experience in high-speed digital systems
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Proven experience architecting PCIe, Ethernet, RoCEv2 RDMA, and high-speed transceiver-based systems
- Deep expertise in precision timing, deterministic networking, and synchronisation architectures
- Strong background in signal processing pipelines implemented in FPGA
- Experience supporting ASIC prototyping or silicon validation via FPGA platforms
- Advanced verification experience (COCOTB, UVVM, OSVVM, or equivalent)
- Expert-level proficiency in Verilog and/or VHDL
- Strong Python and scripting skills for tooling and automation
- Experience with Xilinx/AMD UltraScale+, Versal, or Intel Agilex 7 architectures
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with White Rabbit synchronisation
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical direction without formal management authority
- Strong system-level debugging and performance optimisation experience
