Founding Software Engineer

We are an early stage startup bringing AI to chip design. Founded by two UC Berkeley PhDs with deep expertise across software, semiconductors, ML and AI, and well-funded by silicon valley’s best investors.

Founding engineers will work in a dynamic & high-growth environment, directly with our founders and customers, including some of the world’s biggest & highest-impact semiconductor designers & fabs. Founding engineers can expect to do any & all of:

Develop AI agents for novel chip design problems. Experience with LLM-based systems & agents, foundation models, ML systems, fine-tuning, RAG, GraphRAG all pluses. Develop automated methods to extract structured data from diverse sources including documents & images. Test & characterize natural language AI systems.

Develop a web & cross-platform GUI environment, using Typescript, Rust, WebGL, WebGPU. Experience with computational geometry, graphics engines, high-performance rendering a plus, especially in the context of other CAD design systems.

Develop novel tactics for existing chip-world problems, commonly known as electronic design automation, EDA. Optimizing placement, routing, extraction, simulation, physical verification (LVS, DRC). Working knowledge of silicon design flow & typical chip data (LEF, DEF, GDS, spice, etc) a plus.

We value software generalists & polyglots who are unafraid to try & learn new & valuable tools, wherever they can be found. Past experience in cloud-native B2B and customer-facing engineering roles is a plus. Desire to grow into engineering leadership is a plus. Desire to work in a dynamic, rapidly changing, early stage startup environment is a must.
