  • Collaborate closely with the sales, product, and engineering teams to ensure seamless customer experience and long-term engagement.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in RTL design, functional verification, or EDA application engineering.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Siemens Questa, linting, CDC analysis) and RTL languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog).
  • Strong communication and customer-facing skills; ability to engage technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience working directly with enterprise customers or large engineering teams is a plus.
  • Knowledge of AI/ML concepts or interest in AI-driven automation is highly desirable.
  • Self-starter mentality, excited to work in a fast-paced startup environment.

Why Join Us

  • Shape the future of AI-driven chip design and verification.
  • Work directly with the world's leading semiconductor and AI hardware companies.
  • Be part of a high-impact, mission-driven team.
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, equity options, and professional growth opportunities.
