## About the role

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer who come from chip design, verification, and EDA and want to build software. You will embed directly with customer teams at some of the largest semiconductor companies, working alongside an internal R&D engineer and a customer-side domain expert. We’re looking for engineers with hands-on experience in RTL, testbenches, and simulation who can quickly identify the customer’s real problems and build new capabilities alongside them, beyond supporting our existing product. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on experience in chip design or design verification (DV) at a semiconductor, EDA, or hardware company
- Working knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and RTL, and familiarity with verification flows such as testbenches, simulation, and debug
- Software engineering skills (Python required, C++ or TypeScript a plus) and a strong interest in working at the intersection of software and hardware. You are comfortable building under ambiguity and shipping custom, working solutions without a stable spec
- AI-native, with experience using AI agents, especially coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode
- Excellent communicator, able to work directly with customer engineers and managers and translate field learnings into clear priorities for research and product teams
