Physical Design Calxeda, Inc.

Calxeda is bringing revolutionary computational efficiency to the data center, leveraging the ultra-low-power ARM architecture as the foundation for next generation server designs. Calxeda's platform will consume as little as 1/10th of the power of today's best-in-class servers, enabling data centers to realize significant reduction in capital expenses, power, space and cooling. The Calxeda platform is specifically designed for servers, scaling efficiently to thousands of processor nodes, with unique network and storage acceleration, and is further enhanced with management technology to deliver true "energy-proportional" computing.

And this is where you come in. The Calxeda team is looking for the best talent in the industry to join our quest in changing the industry. If you fit the qualifications below and want to make a difference in a company looking to impact an entire industry, then we want to hear from you.
