Description
Product Applications Engineer
The application engineering team works with market leaders providing consultancy on optimising their applications’ performance with Xilinx products (libraries and APIs).
The team supports a multitude of products and works collaboratively to share information and training. Problem solving is at the heart of what the team does and it achieves this through both research and active discussion.
This is a great team of highly motivated and engaged engineers ranging from Graduate level to Principal Engineer. At Xilinx we invest in potential and good attitude. We are open to applications from graduates with little or no industry experience up to senior engineers with significant experience who are looking for a stimulating role within a great company.
You will provide support and consultancy to our customers’ engineering teams. You’ll mainly focus on our OpenOnload product, which is an open source, high performance, TCP/IP stack. This role would suit you if you have a strong interest in networking, and would thrive on investigating and troubleshooting. Working closely with the software development team, you’ll provide technical support for the network adapter product range, which is used globally. We aim that our application engineers spend 20% of their time on core project development so that they are always very familiar with the product and its code base.
At Xilinx, we are leading the industry transformation to build an adaptable, intelligent world. ARE YOU bold, collaborative, and creative? At Xilinx, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to revolutionize the world of technology. We believe that by embracing diverse ideas, pushing boundaries, and working together as ONEXILINX, anything is possible.
Our culture of innovation began with the invention of the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and with the 2018 introduction of our Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP), has made a quantum leap in capability, solidifying our role as the adaptable platform supplier of choice. From the start, we have always believed in providing inventors with products and platforms that are infinitely adaptable. From self-driving cars, to world-record genome processing, to AI and big data, to the world’s first 5G networks, we empower the world’s builders and visionaries whose ideas solve every day problems and enhance people’s lives.
If you are PASSIONATE, ADAPTABLE, and INNOVATIVE, Xilinx is the right place for you! At Xilinx we care deeply about creating meaningful development experiences while building a strong sense of belonging and connection. We foster an environment of empowered learning, wellness, community engagement, and recognition, so you can focus on work that matters – world class technology that improves the way we live and work. We are ONEXILINX.
