Job Title: Project Manager - Cloud FPGA Platform
About the Role:
We are seeking a seasoned Project Manager with 10-15 years of experience leading large-scale, multi-disciplinary engineering projects. In this role, you will be responsible for driving the execution of a Cloud FPGA benchmarking and deployment platform that enables seamless comparison of REDEFINE FPGA workloads with traditional CPU and GPU targets. The platform involves automated configuration, AWS-based provisioning, CI/CD integration, bitstream generation, performance benchmarking, and application deployment.
The ideal candidate will combine strong cloud infrastructure management experience, FPGA design process understanding, and excellent project management discipline. You will coordinate across multiple technical teams including hardware, software, and DevOps - and external collaborators to deliver a scalable, secure, and user-facing cloud platform.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Program Strategy & Execution:
- Define and manage the Cloud FPGA roadmap, aligning it with business needs and product goals. Ensure that all phases - from FPGA image generation to multi-node scaling are executed on schedule
-
Stakeholder Management:
- Act as the single point-of-contact across multiple stakeholders, including internal hardware/software/DevOps teams and external solution partners
-
Cloud Architecture & Provisioning:
- Coordinate the setup and lifecycle of Terraform-managed AWS resources including EC2, F1/F2, IAM, and container-based infrastructure.
-
CI/CD Orchestration:
- Lead the integration of GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or other CI pipelines to automate FPGA builds, AFI generation, test deployments, and reporting flows.
-
Multi-FPGA Scaling:
- Oversee implementation and testing of multi-node deployments using tools like FireSim, Switchboard, or Fireaxe. Ensure performance, latency, and synchronization goals are met.
-
Performance Metrics & Dashboarding:
- Enable instrumentation pipelines to collect application logs, performance counters, and profiling data. Oversee dashboard development using CloudWatch or other telemetry tools.
-
Security & Governance:
- Ensure IAM role management, access control, secure provisioning policies, and compliance with internal security standards for all cloud deployments.
-
Milestone Tracking:
- Monitor sprints, deliverables, blockers, and inter-team dependencies using Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Azure Boards, Planner Premium). Ensure timely delivery and escalation of risks.
-
Documentation & Reporting:
- Maintain internal documentation for architecture, processes, and workflows. Provide weekly and monthly reports for the leadership team
Required Skills & Experience:
- 10-15 years of experience in project or program management across cloud infrastructure, semiconductor, or embedded systems domains.
- Educational background in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
- Deep familiarity with Agile methodologies and managing sprints, reviews, and delivery workflows using tools like Jira, Planner Premium, or Azure DevOps.
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks such as Terraform or CloudFormation, and automation of AWS resource deployments.
- Strong knowledge of AWS services such as EC2, IAM, S3, VPCs, and particularly AWS FPGA offerings like F1/F2 instances.
- Proven experience coordinating with vendors such as BlueSpec and ZeroASIC, and using tools like FireSim, Switchboard, and Fireaxe for simulation and deployment.
- Understanding of FPGA build processes, bitstream creation, AFI packaging, and integration with Linux-based cloud hosts.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work across time zones with internal teams and external vendors.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, set direction, and provide structure where it does not exist.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect, PMP, or Scrum Master certifications are desirable.
- Experience with AMI/AFI lifecycle management, remote debugging, and DevOps agents for FPGA provisioning.
- Familiarity with VSCode extensions, Eclipse Theia, or building web-based IDEs with performance metric dashboards.
- Hands-on understanding of FPGA simulator integration, log collection, and profiling using instrumentation frameworks.
- Knowledge of cloud security best practices, infrastructure cost optimization, and user access controls.
Education & Experience:
- Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
- 10-15 years of professional experience in technical project/program management with significant exposure to cloud computing and/or FPGA-based systems.
What We Offer:
- The opportunity to lead and shape a globally novel platform for FPGA benchmarking and cloud-based workload execution.
- Deep collaboration with some of the most talented teams in hardware architecture, AI/ML software, and cloud DevOps.
- Exposure to a unique combination of semiconductor system design, cloud deployment at scale, and real-world application performance profiling.
