Company

hirify.global is developing a new computing foundation for AI by exploiting semiconductor physics to achieve significantly higher energy efficiency.

What you will do

• Define micro-architecture and integrate digital blocks, including CPU, memory subsystems, interfaces, and third-party IP, into the SoC fabric.
• Lead hands-on Verilog RTL design and debugging for complex, timing-critical SoC blocks and digital interfaces while meeting power, performance, and area targets.
• Perform synthesis, formal verification, timing-constraint development, RTL linting, CDC, and RDC analysis.
• Support block-level design verification by contributing to verification plans, developing verification infrastructure, and debugging simulation failures.
• Coordinate hand-off between design and physical implementation teams through synthesis and timing closure.
• Mentor junior digital design engineers and help establish design methodologies, code-review practices, quality processes, and early-stage tapeout infrastructure.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of industry experience in digital ASIC/SoC design.
• Expertise in Verilog RTL coding and digital design fundamentals.
• Familiarity with standard EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, linting, and CDC analysis.
• Understanding of the full ASIC design flow from specification through tape-out.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to lead junior engineers toward team goals and support their skill development.

Nice to have

• Experience with synchronous and asynchronous logic, state machines, and bus protocols.
• Experience developing scripts or tooling for design automation.
• Experience optimizing designs for performance, power, or area.
