AI Silicon Architect

Location: On-site in Palo Alto, California, United States

Company

hirify.global is a frontier AI lab developing custom silicon for frontier labs, cloud and neocloud providers, physical AI companies, and advanced fabs.

What you will do

• Define the architectural vision for new generations of AI compute silicon.
• Own critical decisions across compute, memory, interconnect, and hardware–software co-design.
• Build an autoresearch architecture-search pipeline connecting workload analysis, design-space exploration, performance modeling, and PPA feedback.
• Partner with ASIC and software leaders to turn architectural concepts into silicon.
• Lead complex architectural tradeoffs with hands-on technical ownership.

Requirements

• Seasoned architect and technical leader, or equivalent, with experience defining and shipping multiple industry-leading CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, or complex SoCs.
• Deep command of computer architecture, performance modeling, memory systems, interconnects, power/performance/area tradeoffs, and software–hardware co-design.
• Architecture decisions that materially improved performance, efficiency, scalability, or product competitiveness in deployed silicon.
• Ability to challenge assumptions, simplify complex systems, mentor engineers, and lead through technical credibility rather than hierarchy.
• Comfort moving from first-principles exploration to detailed engineering decisions in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Culture & Benefits

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
• Extraordinary technical ownership.
• Opportunity to shape foundational computing systems with a small, exceptional team across silicon, systems, software, and frontier AI.
