Software Engineer, AI Silicon Tooling

United States Digital Space LLC; United States; Remote; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

the company is seeking a software engineer to help build design methodology and infrastructure that enable a small silicon team to develop complex chips rapidly and with high confidence. You will work across architecture, design, verification, performance modeling, and systems software to turn evolving needs into reusable tools and workflows.

This role emphasizes building high-quality software to improve iteration velocity and silicon quality while partnering with domain experts worldwide.

Qualifications

• Experience with design methodologies for rapid chip development.
• Ability to create abstractions to represent hardware structures and experiments across tools.
• Experience automating high-value engineering workflows and improving reproducibility and observability.
• Ability to gather requirements from architects, RTL designers, verification, and software engineers and implement solutions.
• Experience across architecture, design, verification, performance modeling, and software boundaries.

Responsibilities

• Develop and scale design methodologies for rapid first-party chip development and apply them to construct complex custom chips.
• Create abstractions that allow hardware structures, configurations, experiments, and results to be represented consistently across tools.
• Automate high-value engineering workflows and improve their reproducibility, observability, testability, and ease of use.
• Partner with architects, RTL designers, verification engineers, compiler engineers, and systems software engineers to gather requirements and then implement solutions.
• Use methodology and tooling to identify design risks early, accelerate iteration, and improve confidence in performance and implementation tradeoffs.
• Contribute across multiple aspects of software and hardware development as the first-party silicon program and its development methodology evolve.
