About the role

If that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
This is a hands-on principal IC role for an engineer who has built and debugged complex SoCs, knows how to raise quality before tapeout, and wants direct impact on production silicon.
What you need We're seeking passionate technologists who thrive on pushing the boundaries, solving complex challenges, and driving transformative solutions.

Own and be responsible for pre-tape out quality for digital SOC modules on the MCU
Explore architecture and develop micro-architecture.
Collaborate with the Physical Design team to close the design on timing and power targets
Possess deep and broad knowledge of current and emerging SOC design technologies.
Ability to estimate the impact of and help plan and lead the implementations and have a positive impact on the entire output
Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling.
Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore.
We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.
In this role, you'll develop Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL for complex IPs and SoCs, evaluate and integrate 3rd-party IP, partner closely with verification and FPGA teams on test planning and debug, collaborate with physical design to hit timing and power targets, and drive LINT, CDC, RDC, silicon bring-up, and validation quality.

Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation & Control Engineering, or a related field, plus 20 years of experience.

Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.

Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere - powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.
We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.
We're looking for a Principal RTL Engineer to own pre-tapeout quality for digital SoC modules on our MCU platforms and drive architecture, microarchitecture, and RTL development for next-generation silicon.
