About Architect Labs
Architect is a frontier AI lab for custom silicon. We partner with frontier labs, clouds / neoclouds, physical AI companies, and advanced fabs to tape-out custom chips co-designed for next-generation AI workloads. Our goal is to compress end-to-end software to silicon timelines, and maximize intelligence per watt and per dollar for the world. We are a small exceptional team across silicon, systems, software and frontier AI. Our team have led research teams at nearly every frontier AI lab, and at some of the most complex SoCs in the world.

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.

What We'd Like to See
Qualifications & Skills:
- Degree: Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Tapeout Experience: 5+ years (10+ preferred) working on advanced-node tapeouts at top chip companies or quick-moving silicon startups. End-to-end silicon deliv
