Job description

About Voltai

Voltai is developing world models, and agents to learn, evaluate, plan, experiment, and interact with the physical world. We are starting out with understanding and building hardware; electronics systems and semiconductors where AI can design and create beyond human cognitive limits.

About the Team

Backed by Silicon Valley’s top investors, Stanford University, and CEOs/Presidents of Google, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, etc. We are a team of previous Stanford professors, SAIL researchers, Olympiad medalists (IPhO, IOI, etc.), CTOs of Synopsys & GlobalFoundries, Head of Sales & CRO of Cadence, former US Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, and Senior Foreign-Policy Advisor to four US presidents.

About this Role

You’ll design, bring up, and validate the next generation of compute and storage platforms powering Voltai’s AI-driven design engines. You’ll work across board design, mechanical integration, and thermal systems to build efficient, scalable hardware optimized for simulation, training, and verification workloads.

You might thrive if you have 5+ years of experience in

• Server or board-level design for high-speed computing
• Signal and power integrity analysis
• Thermal management, mechanical design, and system bring-up
• Post-silicon validation, instrumentation, and failure analysis
