About MatX

We make the best chips physically possible for the large model needs of frontier labs.

About the role

Write Rust tests that verify our software models and hardware design agree with each other and with the specification Build test infrastructure in Rust that makes it easy to add new tests and run them at scale

What they're looking for

  • Strong engineering fundamentals — you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows
  • Comfortable with low-level systems concepts: memory layout, concurrency, bit manipulation
  • Genuinely interested in hardware and willing to ramp quickly on chip verification
  • This is a hybrid role that will require you to work from our Mountain View, CA office 3 days a week on Tuesday through Thursday
  • Experience with hardware in any capacity — FPGA projects, embedded systems, robotics, or prior roles touching hardware engineering
  • Experience with foreign function interfaces — Rust FFI is ideal, but any experience crossing language boundaries is valuable
More about this role

MatX is seeking engineers with strong Rust skills to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. You will write Rust tests that verify our software models and hardware design behave identically and match the specification.

Your tests and tooling will exercise the chip's software model and hardware design side by side, catching mismatches before they become silicon bugs. If you've ever wished your knack for writing correct, thorough Rust could be applied to something where correctness has million-dollar consequences, this is the role for you. You do not need prior hardware or verification experience to apply — if you know Rust, we will teach you the hardware side.
