● Drive the development of agentic AI systems capable of authoring syntactically and semantically correct RTL, manage IP integration, and constructing processor-based designs

● Create an ecosystem of libraries, tools, agents, workfl ows, and benchmarks to increase design velocity

● Design and synthesize high-quality, complex datasets (RTL, IP, constraints, failure modes) to train models on hardware physics and logic

● Defi ne rigorous verifi cation standards and guide the agent in generating robust UVM testbenches, assertions and coverage models to ensure generated designs are correct-by-construction

What You Bring

● Masters in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related fi eld

● 10-15 years of experience in RTL design, or a combination of design and verifi cation

● Deep expertise with AMD/Xilinx (Vivado, Vitis) and Altera/Intel (Quartus) ecosystems, including SoC and complex IP integrations

● Knowledge of industry-standard communication protocols (AXI, Ethernet, PCIe, DDR5, SPI, I2C, NoC, etc)

● Proficiency in SystemVerilog, Python, and TCL

● Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially to convey chip design knowledge to software engineers and AI scientists

● Comfortable working in a dynamic, research-heavy AI-oriented startup environment

Bonus Points

The following items are not required but are great bonuses:

● Personal projects showcasing innovation, creativity, and continuous learning

● Knowledge of open-source tools and contribution practices (Verilator, CocoTB, Yosys, OpenSTA, etc)

● Experience with multiple areas of chip fl ow (RTL design, validation, synthesis, physical design, etc)

● Demonstrated coursework or project experience in machine learning and/or deep learning

What it's like here

We’re a fast-moving AI startup with a collaborative, high-trust culture. You’ll work with top-tier engineers, scientists, and builders—solving hard problems that sit at the intersection of cloud computing, AI, and chip design.
