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 will define, model, and integrate complex electromechanical and computational systems that span from simulation to silicon. You’ll develop system requirements, interface definitions, and validation plans to ensure seamless cross-domain behavior between hardware, firmware, and AI-driven design pipelines. You’ll own the system-level architecture — the thread that connects concept to production.

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