## About the role

We are hiring Research Engineers to apply machine learning to electronic design automation (EDA). Power, performance, and area are the central tradeoffs in chip design, and getting them right takes deep expertise and long iterations through EDA tools. You'll own research projects that apply ML to these problems across the design flow, from problem definition through data, modeling, and evaluation, and turn successful results into capabilities in the ChipAgents platform. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent research experience in industry
- Strong ML fundamentals and hands-on experience designing, training, and debugging deep learning models in PyTorch or similar platforms
- Working knowledge of the digital design flow, from RTL through synthesis, place and route, and timing and power analysis
- Experience running and scripting EDA tools, commercial or open source
- Strong Python software engineering skills and a record of writing research code that others build on
- Ability to identify the crux of an ambiguous research problem, choose the experiments that matter, and explain results clearly to ML and hardware engineers
