About the RoleWe are seeking a highly capable Implementation Engineer & Technologist to drive silicon construction and optimization for next-generation AI chips. This is a senior hands-on individual-contributor role for an engineer who combines strong technical breadth with the ability to go deep quickly, solve hard problems, and land results in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
You will operate across architecture, circuits, memory, RTL, physical implementation, and integration technologies to turn amb itious product goals into manufacturable silicon. This role is not limited to analysis or pathfinding-you will be expected to develop solutions, prototype ideas, drive execution, and close critical gaps.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on generalist with strong engineering judgment, deep circuit intuition, broad semiconductor knowledge, and a habit of using AI tools to move faster and make better decisions.
In this role, you will:- Partner with architecture and system teams to translate product goals into executable silicon construction strategies.
- Drive hands-on optimization of power, performance, area, cost, and reliability across the silicon stack.
- Develop and implement solutions spanning circuits, memory, RTL, physical design, and integration.
- Use and build AI-driven tools, flows, and methodologies to accelerate silicon implementation.
- Evaluate new technologies and convert them into reliable product constructions optimized for performance, performance/TCO, and performance/W.
You might thrive in this role if:- BS with 12+ years, MS with 10+ years, or PhD with 6+ years of relevant industry experience in chip design or implementation.
- Strong hands-on expertise in circuits and implementation-driven PPA optimization.
- Deep knowledge of semiconductor technologies including memory, advanced nodes, packaging, and 3D integration.
- Hands-on experience with RTL design and physical implementation through tapeout.
- Proven ability to work across disciplines and solve complex technical problems end-to-end.
- Strong use of AI tools for engineering productivity, analysis, coding, or design optimization.
- Excellent technical communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications- Strong first-principles understanding of AI chip architectures and training/inference workloads.
- Experience improving silicon products through innovations in performance, power, cost, yield, or reliability.
- Experience with HBM, SRAM, memory hierarchy design, or memory-centric optimization.
- Experience building internal tools, models, or automation used by engineering teams.
- Research lab experience and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
To comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, candidates for this role may need to meet certain legal status requirements as provided in those laws and regulations.
