AI Silicon Design Lead: Architecture & Security

OpenAI, Inc.; San Francisco (CA); Presencial; USD 180.000 - 240.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

OpenAI’s Hardware organization is seeking a Silicon Design Lead to drive architecture, microarchitecture, and implementation of silicon IP and subsystems for our AI hardware platforms. You will translate requirements into silicon designs, owning technical decisions from architectural definition through implementation and integration.

Part of this role focuses on hardware security implementation in partnership with OpenAI’s Security team, balancing security with performance, power, and area.

Formación

• Experience designing silicon IP or subsystems from architecture through integration.
• Experience implementing hardware security features such as encryption, key management, access controls, isolation, or secure boot.
• Ability to translate functional and security requirements into hardware architectures and microarchitectural specifications.
• Proficiency in RTL design and coding in Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Ability to read, review, and contribute to RTL implementations.
• Experience collaborating across security, silicon architecture, RTL, verification, firmware, and software teams.
• Broader SoC architecture or integration experience preferred.

Responsabilidades

• Own architecture, microarchitecture, and implementation of silicon IP and subsystems, from requirements and design specifications through integration and validation.
• Define hardware interfaces, data flows, and microarchitectural tradeoffs to meet functional, performance, power, and area requirements.
• Partner closely with OpenAI’s Security team to translate security architecture, requirements, and threat models into implementable hardware capabilities.
• Design and integrate hardware security mechanisms, including encryption, key management, access controls, isolation, and data protection across silicon subsystems.
• Evaluate architectural and implementation tradeoffs to ensure security capabilities meet functional and performance requirements.
• Collaborate with silicon architects, RTL, verification, firmware, and software teams to drive subsystem design, integration, and validation.
• Review and contribute to RTL implementations, ensuring designs align with architectural intent and system requirements.
• Evaluate existing and third-party IP, identify architectural or implementation gaps, and drive solutions across subsystem boundaries.
