Head of Hardware

Senior Hardware Architect / RTL Design Engineer

We’re searching for an experienced hardware engineer who thrives at the intersection of architecture, RTL, and verification. The right candidate will bring both hands-on technical expertise and the ability to guide teams through complex design cycles that push the limits of modern silicon.

What You’ll Work On

• Own the architecture and RTL development of advanced hardware blocks, ensuring successful integration into large-scale systems.

• Drive verification strategies for highly complex modules, collaborating closely with verification engineers and system architects.

• Contribute to end-to-end chip design workflows, from early architecture definition to final tapeout.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to refine specifications and validate hardware/software interfaces.

• Share knowledge and mentor peers, helping grow technical depth across the team.

• Explore and apply modern ML techniques in the context of chip design automation and optimization.

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience working in chip design environments, ideally with contributions to production tapeouts.

• Demonstrated expertise developing architectures and RTL for sophisticated IP or subsystems.

• Background in cutting-edge chip organizations (CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, or leading EDA teams).

• Proven leadership in technical or team-building capacities.

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog/Verilog and modern SoC design methodologies.

• Hands-on programming skills in Python for design automation or tooling.

• Familiarity with verification methodologies (UVM highly valued).

• Experience developing IP in areas like PCIe5, PHY, LPDDR, memory controllers, NoCs, CPU subsystems, or similar domains.

• Understanding of hardware/software co-design principles.
