Company

hirify.global is a semiconductor startup building high-performance and energy-efficient graphics processors for immersive content creation, simulation, and consumption.

What you will do

• Define microarchitecture specifications from high-level architecture requirements.
• Design and implement RTL for complex digital blocks using SystemVerilog and Verilog.
• Optimize performance, power, and area at the RTL and microarchitecture levels.
• Collaborate with verification teams to ensure design correctness and high coverage.
• Integrate IP into SoC-level environments and work with physical design teams on timing closure, synthesis constraints, and floorplan-aware design.
• Debug issues during simulation, GLS, and silicon bring-up while contributing to design reviews, documentation, and methodology improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5–10 years of experience in RTL design and microarchitecture.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog/Verilog, microarchitecture development, performance optimization, and pipelining.
• Experience with simulation and debugging tools such as Synopsys VCS or Cadence Xcelium.
• Familiarity with synthesis and timing concepts, including Synopsys Design Compiler.
• Understanding of digital design fundamentals, including FSMs, pipelines, caches, memory interfaces, and ASIC/SoC development environments.

Nice to have

• Experience with CPU, GPU, AI/ML accelerators, networking, or high-speed data processing.
• Knowledge of SRAM, cache hierarchies, memory subsystems, and coherency.
• Familiarity with low-power design, formal verification, linting, GLS, SDF annotation, or silicon debug.
• Scripting skills in Python or TCL and understanding of firmware, drivers, and hardware-software interaction.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative culture built around professionalism, integrity, and respect.
• Values include fearless experimentation, adaptability, and selfless knowledge sharing.
• Commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equal employment opportunity.
