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 current 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 RTL Design team at Architect, you'll own the AI-driven microarchitecture and RTL design of mission-critical SoC blocks and sub-systems (SS) going into production silicon. You will be expected to define, drive, and revise the block-level micro-arch specification for one of the fundamental HW accelerator blocks.

As such, you fit our current prospects if you have hands-on design and block-owner experience in any of the following ASIC components: on-chip memory SS, on-chip interconnect SS (NoCs, DMAs, etc.)



with custom or standard protocols (AXI, etc.), IO and peripherals integration (PCIe, DDR, CXL, etc.), CPU/Host/controllers, Security, Compression, Debug/DFT (BIST, MBIST, etc.), and specialized accelerators such as ML/AI accelerators (NPUs, TPUs, etc.), SIMD vector engines, DSPs, GPUs, graphics/audio pipelines.

As a lab, we are investing in building a world-class HW design team, so if you think you have a particular experience/background that is not listed here, please still reach out to us
Own AI-driven RTL design flow end-to-end (at the frontend): through code generation to incorporating feedback from lint, CDC, synthesis, and timing closure stages for closing the design loop.
Work directly with the principal architect to refine microarchitectural specs, resolve implementation trade-offs, and feed area/timing/power realities back into the architecture and internal AI systems.
