About the role

  • works closely with architecture, custom analog IP, compiler, verification, emulation, and post-silicon groups to ensure every component integrates seamlessly into the full system.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement RTL for Mythic's next-generation AI processor.
  • Develop and optimize high-performance, low-power components such as datapaths, controllers, memory subsystems, and interconnects.
  • Collaborate with architects and verification engineers to define microarchitecture and ensure functional correctness.
  • Drive timing closure by working closely with synthesis and physical design teams.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving RTL coding practices and methodologies.
  • We're hiring experienced RTL Design Engineers to play a key role in designing and implementing the components that will bring our next-generation AI processors to life.
  • Because today's AI workloads push the limits of performance, memory, and efficiency, our RTL engineers apply both creativity and rigor to deliver designs that meet aggressive PPA (performance, power, area) goals while ensuring correctness.
  • We welcome engineers at all levels who are excited to tackle challenging design problems and play a key role in building the next generation of AI compute hardware.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Hands-on experience with one or more of the following subsystems: scheduling fabrics, high-performance interconnects, DMA engines, memory controllers, or datapath/control logic.
  • Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and industry-standard RTL coding guidelines.
  • Hands-on experience with simulation, synthesis, linting, and static timing analysis tools.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills with ability to work in cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with network-on-chip (NoC) architectures.
  • Experience with timing closure in advanced technology nodes and collaboration with physical design teams.
  • Strong skills in performance modeling and trade-off analysis (PPA optimization).
  • Hands-on experience with emulation/FPGA prototyping for early RTL validation.
  • Familiarity with AI, DSP, or other parallel compute architectures.
  • Our team brings a wide range of experiences and perspectives, which we see as a strength in solving hard problems together.
  • We value professionalism, creativity, and integrity, and strive to make Mythic a place where every employee feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.

Skills

  • This architecture incorporates a novel scheduling subsystem, high-performance interconnect fabric, and advanced DMA engines.
  • Together with our Analog Compute Engines, these critical technologies enable unprecedented efficiency for modern AI workloads.

Compensation

  • The salary range for this position is $120,000–$225,000+ annually.
