San Francisco, California, United States The Human Resource, LLC Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year

Our client is an early stage startup bringing AI to chip design. Founded in 2024 by a team of world-class experts in semiconductors, ML and AI, and well-funded by Silicon Valley's best VCs.

We're in a silicon renaissance, fueled by demand for AI and the end of Moore's Law. NVIDIA going to infinity is barely the start of the first inning. There's only one problem: designing all those new chips. At nanometer scales this has grown exponentially more complex, costly, and laborious. The company brings the power of AI to automate their most painful bottlenecks.

As an MTS you'll work in a dynamic, high-growth, collaboration-heavy environment, directly with our founders and customers, including some of the world's biggest and highest-impact semiconductor designers and fabs. Expect to work on any and all of:

Full-Stack AI Agents

  • Develop AI agents for novel chip design problems
  • Experience with LLM-based systems, agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.), LLM encodings, foundation models, ML systems, fine-tuning, RAG, GraphRAG all pluses
  • Develop automated methods to extract structured data from diverse sources including documents & images
  • Test, evaluate, and characterize natural language AI systems
  • Requires proficiency with one or more of Python, TypeScript, Rust

Front-End & Graphics & GUI

  • Develop a high-performance web + desktop 2D graphical CAD environment
  • Experience with WebGL, WebGPU, or other graphics APIs highly desirable
  • Experience with 2D graphics, computational geometry, game engines, graphics engines, high-performance rendering all pluses, especially in the context of CAD design systems
  • Knowledge of WebAssembly/ WASM & other high-performance performance frontend tactics highly desirable
  • No web framework experience required. No React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Elm, none of that. None of the bolt-on tools such as Redux, MobX either.
  • Experience with high-performance/ binary serialization formats such as ProtoBuf, Capn Proto, FlatBuffers etc. a plus
  • Requires proficiency with one or more of TypeScript, Rust

Silicon EDA

  • Develop novel tactics for silicon electronic design automation (EDA)
  • Focus on physical design of analog, RF, and custom circuits, e.g. memory, standard cells
  • Optimizing placement, routing, extraction, simulation, physical verification (LVS, DRC)
  • Knowledge of silicon design flow & typical chip data (LEF, DEF, GDS, Spice, etc.)
  • Requires proficiency with one or more of C++, Rust

We do not expect you to know all those things But the more the merrier. If any of these areas sounds like you - and especially if learning the others sounds like fun - we'd love to view your application

We're a small, all-technical team, all working at the forefront of turning AI intro next-gen silicon. We're in-office, in-person by design, optimized for collaboration. 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 rapidly changing, early stage startup environment is a must.

Everyone on the team gets the same title: Member of Technical Staff. Compensation varies with experience and fit, with competitive salaries and meaningful equity for all team members. We provide the best medical, dental, and vision coverage we can get, for both you and family. We sponsor work visas and permanent residency applications for qualified international candidates.
