Astrus is developing AI to automate analog layout on the microchip level. The current analog layout process is manual, time-consuming, and iterative, with engineers spending hours on simple circuits and weeks on complex ones. As transistors shrink, the complexity of Design Rule Check (DRC) and layout sensitivity increases, making the process even more challenging. Astrus aims to streamline this by automating the placement of components and routing of wires, significantly reducing design time and iterations for microchip manufacturers.

Dev Ops / Machine Learning Infrastructure
About Astrus 📍 Location: Toronto or Waterloo, Canada At Astrus, we are using AI to automate microchip design, starting with the biggest bottleneck, analog layout. Our mission is to radically improve global computation and empower chip designers to create the world's most advanced microchips with AI. Astrus is backed by top-tier VC firms: Khosla Ventures, HOF Capital, and 1517 Fund.
About The Role We’re scaling one of the largest reinforcement learning systems ever built for chip design — generating and evaluating billions of layouts in simulation.
As the Dev Ops / ML Infrastructure Lead , you’ll build and scale the core platform that powers our agent training stack. You’ll work at the heart of Astrus’s research loop — owning the systems that manage GPU clusters, orchestrate distributed training, store and version agents, and enable continuous evaluation.
You’ll work closely with the AI team and own infra end-to-end: from CI/CD, cluster management, and deployment tooling, to observability and research infra integrations.
