Job Description

Silicon Engineer

At Cognichip, we’re not just building Artificial Intelligence - we’re redefining what’s possible at the nexus of silicon design and machine learning.

As a Silicon Engineer, you will be the hands-on builder, fusing chip design expertise with ML to create the foundational blocks of our autonomous design flow.

In this role, you won’t just design chips, you will create the libraries, IP and benchmarks that teach our AI how to design chips.

You will work alongside a cross-functional team of world-class engineers and researchers to translate hardware logic into artificial chip intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

* Encode chip-design expertise (RTL/DV best practices, common microarchitectural patterns, and known failure modes) into reusable, agent- consumable knowledge bases and playbooks

* Define how and when agents invoke EDA tools (simulation, lint, CDC, synthesis, STA), including result interpretation and chaining tools into reliable end-to-end design and verification flows

* Design and implement end-to-end agent workflows for chip design, verification, debugging, and iterative refinement using structured, hierarchical process graphs

* Decompose complex silicon design and verification tasks into clear, executable agent steps with well-defined inputs, outputs, and success criteria

* Develop high-quality prompts for each stage of the hardware lifecycle (specification, microarchitecture, RTL implementation, verification, and debug)

Required Qualifications

* Bachelor’s or Masters in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
