Join the team that is revolutionizing data center networking!

Rockport’s scale fabric technologies have disrupted the 30-year-old centralized switching model limiting innovation in High Performance Computing (HPC). Now we’re taking on static systems with composable infrastructure for demanding HPC and AI workloads. The Rockport team is passionate about solving complex problems for our customers and we’re proud of the products we build.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled FPGA Designer to get involved in making dramatic changes to the compute and Data Center industry, by making a significant contribution to our disruptive next generation solutions for Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure (CDI). Building off our switchless network solutions for systems in High Performance Compute, Data Center, and networked clusters, the CDI space offers new technology advancement opportunities and an avenue to introduce new and efficient concepts into the evolving compute industries.
