Who You'll Work WithArista Networks is looking for a skilled FPGA Build System Engineer for our Engineering Productivity (EngProd) team to design, optimize, and maintain build systems and CI/CD pipelines for FPGA development workflows. As a part of the Engineering Productivity team, you will work with FPGA engineers and other team members to design, build, and administer secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant build infrastructure. Working in the EngProd group, you will collaborate with FPGA and software engineers to design, build, scale, and operate the build systems used by Arista's product development teams. You'll work with industry-standard tools including Jenkins, Ansible, Gerrit, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and FPGA-specific toolchains. You'll automate build processes, optimize compilation times, and ensure our FPGA development workflows are efficient and reliable.
 What You'll DoDesign, implement, and optimize build systems for FPGA development workflows with focus on scalability, reliability, and performanceDevelop and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for FPGA projects using JenkinsAutomate build processes using Python, Shell scripting, and MakefilesBuild and deploy containerized build environments using Docker and manage orchestration with KubernetesMonitor build system performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement optimization strategies to reduce build timesTroubleshoot and debug complex build failures, dependency issues, and toolchain problemsImplement infrastructure-as-code using Ansible for build system provisioning and configuration managementManage source control workflows and best practices using Git and GerritWork closely with FPGA engineers to understand requirements and improve developer experienceCreate and maintain build system documentation, runbooks, and architectural diagramsProactively monitor build infrastructure, respond to alerts, and implement automated alert handlingPlan and communicate maintenance windows for build infrastructureSurvey and adopt best practices around build systems and CI/CD to maintain secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant infrastructureWrite postmortem documents for build system incidents and implement solutions to prevent recurrence
