Job description

MatX is on a mission to be the compute platform for AGI. We are developing vertically integrated full-stack solutions from silicon to systems including hardware and software to train and run the largest ML workloads for AGI. MatX is seeking silicon micro-architects and design engineers to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. Successful candidates for these roles will be responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon for MatX products across compute, memory management. High-speed connectivity and other key technologies.

What You'll Do Here

• Drive the evolution of MatX's silicon architecture-to-design methodology by engineering scalable solutions for the seamless integration of all Subsystems into a comprehensive full-chip SOC RTL design.
• Partner with SubSystem owners within the Design team to facilitate block integration and spearhead the development of the System-On-Chip (SOC) Top-level RTL.
• Implement advanced automation for SOC top-level RTL integration and build processes to enable on-the-fly generation of SOC top-level RTL.
• Collaborate closely with the Full Chip owner on the Physical Design team to incorporate necessary RTL modules and feedthroughs/highways, ensuring alignment with chip-level floorplan connectivity requirements within the SOC RTL.
• Establish robust clock and reset methodologies through cross-functional collaboration with system, architecture, design, and physical design teams.
• Define and support SoC-level timing constraints, ensuring rigorous validation against Subsystem design and physical design requirements.
• Provide technical support to package and board teams by defining SOC pin requirements and facilitating the generation of interposer netlists.

Who You Are

• Demonstrate proficiency in SystemVerilog and scripting languages such as Python or Perl to drive chip design RTL and associated flows.
• Possess a proven track record in integrating high-performance computing elements (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators) and high-speed interconnect standards like UCIE, while managing memory and logical functionalities within the SOC RTL.
• Apply working knowledge of logical equivalency verification for SOC-level subsystem interfaces, collaborating with physical design teams to incorporate floorplan requirements into the RTL.
• Manage memory wrapper generation, including the integration of DFT wrappers into Subsystem RTL.
• Provide automation support for generating and configuring SOC RTL with user-defined Subsystems for Design Verification (DV) purposes.
• Leverage hands‑on experience with AI-driven tools to architect automation for SOC integration and facilitate technical support for cross‑functional implementation teams.
• Utilize hands‑on experience with design synthesis, linting, clock & reset‑domain‑crossing, and timing constraint validation to ensure high‑quality SOC sign‑off.
• Familiarity with emulation platforms and verification methodologies is highly desirable.

Compensation

The US base salary for this full‑time position is determined based on a variety of factors including role, experience, location, job related skills, and relevant education and training. Career length is only a guideline for compensation.
