# Rust EngineerMatX · United States · Mid · HybridView & Apply## About the RoleMatX is seeking engineers with strong Rust skills to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. We are looking for engineers to support work in these areas: Infrastructure, Performance, Runtime, Tooling/Testing, Verification.## Key Responsibilities:* Use your experience to expand upon and build new infrastructure and tooling to support hardware and/or software teams.* Design/implement our Rust based simulator* Build the host-side interface library* Write tests that systematically explore corner cases and rare event sequences — both targeted tests and tests that use randomization to find surprises* Work across hardware, architecture and software teams to turn specifications into concrete, testable properties## Requirements:* Proficient in production Rust — you've shipped real systems. You're comfortable with ownership, traits, generics with bounds, and enums as sum types. You understand why is better than exceptions and what the borrow checker is actually protecting you from* Strong engineering fundamentals — you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows* Comfortable with low-level systems concepts: memory layout, concurrency, bit manipulation* Genuinely interested in hardware and willing to ramp quickly
