Senior Design and Verification Engineer – AI for EDA Solutions

About ChipAgents

ChipAgents is reinventing semiconductor design and verification through agentic AI workflows. Founded by leading experts in AI and chip design, we work with top-20 semiconductor companies, major cloud providers, and next-generation hardware startups. Our AI-powered platform accelerates RTL design, verification, and simulation, enabling engineers to achieve unprecedented productivity and correctness.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly capable Senior Design and Verification Engineer to join our core product and research team. In this role, you will work side-by-side with our AI engineering and research groups to build cutting-edge agentic AI systems for EDA. Your deep domain expertise in RTL design and functional verification will shape how AI systems reason about complex hardware workflows—from architecture specification through testbench validation. You will play a central role in teaching our AI how engineers think and work, ensuring our solutions integrate naturally into real-world design environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with AI engineers to model and codify chip design and verification workflows.
• Design, implement, and debug RTL designs and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches used in training and validating AI agents.
• Provide deep domain expertise to help AI agents interpret specifications, generate RTL code, and understand verification coverage.
• Build reusable examples, design patterns, and edge cases to train and evaluate generative and agentic AI models.
• Support benchmarking and evaluation of AI-assisted design and verification productivity across realistic chip development tasks.
• Work closely with customers, product, and research teams to translate engineering pain points into automated AI workflows.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in RTL design, functional verification, and/or architecture-level modeling.
• Proficiency with Verilog/SystemVerilog, UVM, and simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Siemens Questa).
• Experience designing and verifying complex subsystems or SoCs, preferably in production or research tapeouts.
• Familiarity with lint, CDC, formal, coverage analysis, and synthesis flows.
• Interest or experience in AI/ML, especially AI-assisted engineering tools, is a major plus.
• Strong collaboration skills and a passion for enabling the next generation of EDA workflows.

Why Join Us

• Work at the frontier of AI and semiconductor design.
• Collaborate with a world-class team spanning AI, systems, and EDA.
• Shape a foundational shift in how chips are built.
• Competitive salary, meaningful equity, benefits, and growth opportunities.
