About Positron AI Positron AI is building next-generation AI inference accelerators designed from the ground up for low-latency, high-throughput large language model inference. Backed by NEA.
About the role
This role is posted at the Senior level. We are a growth-oriented organization and are open to discussing scope with candidates whose experience aligns more closely with a more senior track. This job description serves as a focused but generalized overview; specific responsibilities will be tailored to the experience of the final hire. Success in this role looks like reliable execution on assigned blocks, strong QoR contributions, and growing ownership of implementation methodology as you develop within the team.
What they're looking for
- Support floorplanning, macro placement, and power planning across Positron's AI accelerator designs
- Drive clock tree synthesis, place and route, and routing optimization through to timing closure on assigned blocks
- Contribute to signal integrity, IR/EM closure, ECO implementation, and metal fill to deliver signoff-quality results
- Support tapeout signoff for physical implementation deliverables
- Contribute to methodology for power grids, power/ground tiles, and bump planning
- Assist in building congestion analysis and wire estimation approaches to support early floorplan decisions
