About this opportunity
HushOne, Inc. lists this FPGA Prototyping Engineer opportunity in kirkland, Washington. Review the employer’s description below for duties, qualifications and application requirements.
Job description
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.
The work
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.
What good looks like
In your first 90 days, demonstrate one end-to-end prototype with a correctness suite and a written assessment of its architectural value.
Evidence we look for
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.
Required
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
High-speed host interfaces such as PCIe
Emulation platforms
You have prototyped something that then became silicon
The exercise
Choose a prototype boundary for a new memory subsystem and explain what the prototype can and cannot validate.
How we work
We work together in the office, five days a week, and you can be based at any of our garages: Kirkland Garage (Kirkland, WA); UAE Garage (Dubai, Dubai). We hire across the United States, India and the UAE. We are remote-friendly around family: if you need to work from home some days to look after the people you love, we arrange that with you one person at a time, and we encourage people to use it rather than tough it out.
Pay
We publish what we pay. Indicative ranges by market and level are on our compensation page, and they are realistic going market rates rather than headline numbers. Wherever we hire we pay at least the local market rate, and for full-time roles our floor is a living wage, never the statutory minimum. Compensation is reviewed every year and on promotion.
Equity
Every full-time teammate gets stock options. Four-year vesting with a one-year cliff, sized to role, level and impact, and confirmed in writing at offer. High performers earn refresh grants.
Bonus and commission
An annual performance bonus tied to clear company and personal goals, indicatively 10 to 20 percent of base for non-sales roles. Customer-facing roles carry on-target earnings, typically a 50/50 split of base and variable, with uncapped commission and accelerators above quota.
Health and peace of mind
Medical, dental and vision for you and your family, plus life and disability cover. We have chosen the highest plan tier available to us rather than the cheapest one that clears the bar, because the point of this is that you never have to think about it. The specific plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
401(k) with company matching
A 401(k) with a company match, so the years you spend here compound into something that is yours whatever happens next. The match formula is confirmed in your offer letter.
AI tokens
A budget of AI tokens of your own, because a company that says you should own your AI cannot be the company that rations it. Use them on the work and on whatever you are curious about.
Gym, and the everyday things
A gym membership, and a corporate benefits programme with its own app, where you redeem real discounts with a long list of retailers on the ordinary purchases of a life.
Family
We are remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time, and we would rather you took it than toughed it out.
Referrals
Refer someone we hire full-time who stays a year and you get $1,000 plus $10,000 in referral stock-based equity, on top of your own package.
