About the role
- This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications-whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments.
- Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from -40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
- We've raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain emulation platforms for AI accelerator / AI-centric SoCs
- Support execution of AI inference workloads (e.g., CNNs, transformers) on emulated Mythic accelerators
- Collaborate with compiler, runtime, and ML teams to debug HW/SW co-design issues
- Develop scripts and automation for emulation builds, regressions, and workload execution
- Support post-silicon correlation and performance validation when applicable
- Document emulation flows, performance methodologies, and debug procedures
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
- Strong understanding of SoC architectures and AI accelerator design concepts
- Experience with RTL simulation and emulation (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
- Familiarity with hardware emulation platforms ( e.g. Cadence Palladium)
- Experience working in Linux-based environments
- Proficiency in scripting (Python, Tcl, Bash)
Nice to have
- 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.
Compensation
- $120k-$225k
Company info
- Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost.
- Mythic's Digital Design Team is seeking a Silicon Emulation Engineer to support the development and validation of AI accelerator and AI-centric SoCs using hardware emulation platforms.
- This role is critical to enabling early bring-up, software validation, and performance analysis of neural network accelerators prior to silicon availability.
- The engineer will work closely with RTL, verification, compiler, firmware, and ML software teams to ensure functional correctness, performance targets, and system-level integration of AI workloads.
- Integrate large-scale RTL (compute, DMA, memory subsystems, interconnects) into emulation environments
- Enable early firmware, driver, runtime, and ML stack bring-up on emulated hardware
- Analyze performance, bandwidth utilization, latency, and throughput of AI workloads in emulation
