Job summary

AIDAChip Inc. is seeking a Forward-Deployed / Applications Engineer in Austin, TX to deploy and configure our AI-native silicon platform for design teams.

You will work directly with customers, translating their RTL-to-signoff workflows and EDA needs into actionable configurations and scripts. You will be the trusted engineer in customer environments, building confidence with senior designers, collecting feedback for product, and driving pilot projects toward expansion.

Qualifications

• Deep Workflow / EDA / chip-design fluency — you've worked in or alongside real design teams and know the flow (Architecture, analog/custom, and RTL-to-signoff)
• Customer-facing technical experience — applications / field engineering, solutions, forward-deployed, or a designer who loves working directly with customers
• Genuine hands-on ability — you configure, script, debug, and unblock, not just advise
• Excellent communication — you build trust with senior engineers and translate between customer and product
• Strong candidates may also have experience with digital and analog / mixed-signal exposure
• Startup, early-customer, or design-partner environments
• AI / agentic tooling

Responsibilities

• Customer deployments end to end — onboard design teams, configure the platform to their methodology, and make them successful on real designs
• The trusted-advisor relationship inside the customer's environment — you speak their Design and EDA flows and earn senior engineers' confidence
• The feedback loop into product — structured signal on what's useful, what's missing, and what "value" looks like to a design team
• Pilot → expansion — prove value, document wins, and support conversion
• Partnership with our domain owners — you own the customer relationship; they own the discipline depth, and you hand each other the methodology playbooks
