Company

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

What you will do

• Define ASIC system requirements from product specifications and translate system-level requirements into block-level and circuit-level specifications.
• Analyze micro-architecture trade-offs across NoC, caches, memory controllers, and coherency fabrics to optimize performance, power, area, and model fidelity.
• Develop executable models, simulations, and analytical workflows that inform SoC/IP system behavior.
• Collaborate with product management, architecture, and SoC design teams on product definition, PPA targets, and roadmap decisions.
• Contribute to design documentation and methodology improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field.
• At least 10 years of experience in model-based systems engineering.
• Experience converting document-based architectures into model-based architectures.
• Strong understanding of CPU/GPU microarchitecture, memory hierarchy, and SoC interconnects.
• Familiarity with analytical and simulation tools such as MATLAB and Simulink.
• Programming experience in Python, Java, or JavaScript for model automation and analysis, plus strong communication skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with model-driven design using Simulink and autogenerated code.
• Familiarity with firmware, compilers, design verification, and RTL concepts.
• Experience modeling, simulating, and optimizing performance, power, and area.
• Experience with post-silicon performance correlation, root-cause analysis, and improving pre-silicon model fidelity.

Culture & Benefits
