Hardware Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in hardware design, particularly in RTL and microarchitecture, with experience in developing production-quality designs for complex systems. Your expertise in languages such as Verilog and SystemVerilog allows you to create efficient hardware structures tailored for AI workloads. You are comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software and verification engineers, to ensure seamless integration of hardware and software components.

You possess a solid understanding of performance modeling and feasibility analysis, enabling you to contribute effectively to architectural studies. Your hands-on experience in designing compute, memory, and interconnect components for accelerators makes you a valuable asset to the team. You thrive in a collaborative environment and are eager to take ownership of your projects, ensuring high standards of quality and performance.

What you'll do

In this role, you will produce clean, production-quality microarchitecture and RTL for major accelerator subsystems, playing a crucial part in the development of OpenAI's next-generation AI-native silicon. You will collaborate closely with architecture, verification, physical design, and machine learning engineers to translate AI workloads into efficient hardware structures. Your responsibilities will include conducting architectural studies, contributing to performance modeling, and ensuring functional correctness through partnership with design verification and physical design teams.

You will also be involved in building and reviewing performance metrics, ensuring that all designs meet area and power targets while achieving timing closure. Your role will require you to engage in hands-on design work, providing you with significant ownership across definition, modeling, and implementation phases. You will be part of a team that is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI hardware, and your contributions will directly impact the performance of OpenAI's supercomputing infrastructure.
