​​Platform Engineer, Onboard Compute

Responsibilities

• Maintain and evolve FPGA and GPU build flows, test environments, and delivery and integration pipelines to produce reproducible, reliable, and fast lab-ready artifacts.
• Own synthesis, simulation, cross-compilation, and containerized toolchain environments and keep them current, documented, and consistent.
• Reduce mission-to-mission variation and promote reusable shared components across a growing portfolio of missions.
• Align delivery methods and planning methods as the team and mission portfolio grow.
• Own the team roadmap in Jira and provide accurate dashboards, snapshot reporting, progress tracking, priority visibility, and resource utilization reporting.
• Partner with technical leads and engineers to estimate incoming mission work and requests from other teams.
• Establish planning-accuracy metrics and improve estimation quality.
• Publish weekly reports covering team health, successes, risks, opportunities, blockers, and highlights for internal and cross-company audiences.
• Serve as the source of truth for status, progress, and Jira reporting for the Onboard Compute organization.
• Own the team’s Confluence space and support engineers in contributing accurate content.
• Partner with engineering managers to maintain onboarding, training, tooling, build-flow, and platform documentation.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least three years of professional engineering experience.
• Hands-on development experience with FPGA and/or GPU workflows, including synthesis or compilation toolchains, simulation or profiling environments, and build or release pipelines.
• Experience owning or significantly contributing to build systems, test environments, and integration pipelines for embedded or hardware-adjacent codebases.
• Experience managing variation and complexity across multiple products, missions, or configurations through shared components, reference flows, or platform contracts.
• Ability to script automation for toolchains, pipeline orchestration, and report generation.
• Fluency with Jira, including epics, stories, dashboards, JQL, and reporting, as well as Confluence.
• Ability to lead estimation and planning discussions and translate technical work into roadmaps and reports for non-engineering stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with FPGA build flows such as Vivado or Quartus and/or GPU cross-compilation for embedded platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson or NVIDIA IGX is preferred.
• Experience with shared platforms, product lines, reference designs, hardware-in-the-loop test automation, lab-bench regression infrastructure, containerization, development pipeline tooling, or mission-critical engineering environments is preferred.
