Senior AI Chip Design Engineer

The Chip Design Methodologies team is responsible for establishing ASIC design methodologies, developing shared code, providing design guidance, and driving the adoption of new technologies. The team plays a key role in ensuring chip design teams operate efficiently and adhere to best practices. We are now expanding our focus to AI-powered applications for chip design — leveraging modern AI tools and methods to improve productivity, quality, and turnaround across the design flow. This role offers an exciting opportunity to think innovatively and make a significant impact within a dynamic, technology-focused organization.

What You'll Be Doing

Develop innovative AI-powered methodologies and applications for chip design — spanning specification, RTL, verification, and physical design

Collaborate with chip design stakeholders across architecture, RTL, DV, FV, and physical design teams to understand existing challenges and form the best solutions

Utilize, develop, and assimilate AI-based tools and flows into the chip design process

Evaluate cutting-edge AI tools and EDA vendor technologies, and apply them to improve the development process

Define and enforce design quality standards — lint rules, synthesis guidelines, and coding best practices

Develop training sessions and guide designers with best design practices, including AI-assisted workflows

Build automation infrastructure and scripted flows to streamline chip design development

What We Need To See

BSc degree in Electrical Engineering

10+ years hands-on pre silicon design experience

Strong interpersonal skills, a passion for innovation, and the ability to mentor

A natural drive to systematize, automate, and improve how things are done

Strong AI orientation — genuine curiosity about AI-driven development, with a working understanding of the modern AI ecosystem: AI coding assistants, agentic workflows, and prompt-driven engineering practices
