About Architect
Architect is a frontier AI lab for chip design. We build AI models and tools for on-demand custom ASICs at scale. Our goal is to co-design custom ASICs alongside evolving ML workloads, and enable a new era of domain-specific chips that unlock capabilities impossible with current hardware paradigms. Born out of Stanford Research, our team blends AI with Silicon with a founding team from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta SuperIntelligence, xAI, Apple and Intel.

What You'll Do
As a Founding Member of the Technical Staff on the Design Verification team at Architect, you'll own the verification strategy behind AI-generated designs taping out on leading foundries. You'll work at the intersection of rigorous hardware verification and AI-driven design automation.
Review AI-driven test plan, and validation strategy for internal and external SoC projects.
Provide domain-specific expertise to our AI/ML teams, including architectural and microarchitectural checks, validation modularity, checkers, coverage models,



and interface protocols — helping encode DV best practices into our AI-driven flows.
Independently define, drive, and coordinate validation, verification, and integration flows across multiple IPs, including checkpoints and collateral handoffs.
Collaborate with architecture, design, and AI/ML leads to generate simulation- and emulation-ready collateral that scales across projects.
Track emerging trends in semiconductor verification and AI-driven design automation to keep our methodology cutting-edge in quality, scalability, and throughput.
