About the role

We are building something new and ambitious.

We are backed by NVIDIA along with other major VCs.

Our goal is to close the gap between digital intelligence and instinct.

We are looking for engineers who want to design and bring to life new AI hardware from first principles.

Apply if you:

  • Write excellent SystemVerilog / Verilog
  • Can turn complex math into solid microarchitecture and production RTL
  • Understand the hard parts: timing, pipelining, latency, area, power, CDC, reset, and verification handoff
  • Have experience with FPGA prototyping / emulation
  • Like operating in a small team with high ownership and high technical standards

Bonus:

  • Strong understanding of CUDA, model quantizations, fundamentals of AI Inference
  • You love games like Factorio, Satisfactory

What you get:

  • Healthcare, dental, vision, all the good stuff
  • Base $160,000 - $250,000
  • Every tool you need to succeed
  • Equity
  • A chance to usher in the age of silicon based lifeforms (only partially kidding)

If you're good, ambitious, and want to work on a hard problem with serious upside, reach out.
