About the role

  • You will be responsible for driving invention, prototyping, and validation of the core components of our novel computing platform.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the detailed micro-architecture definition and top-level integration of digital blocks, including CPU, memory subsystems, and interfaces.
  • Own for the integration of third-party IP into the main SoC fabric.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior digital design engineers.
  • Contribute to setting best practices for design methodologies, code reviews, and quality assurance processes.
  • Enhance and contribute to early stage design infrastructure for rapid tapeout.
  • Drive and perform hands-on RTL design for complex, timing-critical SoC blocks and digital interfaces, ensuring power, performance, and area (PPA) targets are met.
  • Implement and debug key digital interfaces
  • Perform initial synthesis and formal verification (LEC) to ensure the design is routable and meets frequency targets.
  • Create block-level timing constraints

Requirements

  • Strong Technical Expertise:
  • Design Flow Proficiency:
  • Familiarity with standard EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, linting, and clock domain crossing (CDC) analysis.
  • The Mission: Redefine computing for the next 50 years by solving the fundamental energy limitation of AI at a global scale.

Nice to have

  • Experience with creating digital designs, including synchronous and asynchronous logic, state machines, and bus protocols.
  • Experience with modern design methods, including generative AI code development platforms.
  • Experience with analog mixed signal technology and interfaces.

Skills

  • Run and resolve RTL linting, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC), and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) checks using industry standard tools.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Benefits

  • A comprehensive package including best-in-class health benefits, 401k matching, truly unlimited PTO, and complimentary meals in our Palo Alto office.
