Jobs at ChipAgents

Build and improve production AI agents for chip design and verification. Responsibilities include evaluating agent performance, diagnosing failures, developing orchestration, memory, context management, and tool interfaces, and converting experiments into scalable, reliable software. The role requires strong backend architecture, production service experience, Python or TypeScript skills, and cross-functional technical leadership.

Build production software that brings machine learning research into EDA workflows and customer environments. Responsibilities include integrating EDA tools and compute infrastructure, developing data pipelines, deploying software in on-premises and restricted networks, creating reusable deployment tooling, and ensuring system reliability and performance. The role collaborates closely with ML researchers, hardware experts, and customer engineering teams while incorporating customer feedback into product development.

Optimize large language model inference across multi-node GPU clusters for production AI agents. Responsibilities include implementing and benchmarking performance improvements, profiling GPU and memory bottlenecks, building evaluation harnesses, integrating model architectures, and applying distributed inference, batching, quantization, and systems-level optimization techniques.

Conduct machine learning research for electronic design automation and chip-design optimization across power, performance, and area. Build EDA datasets and benchmarks, develop and evaluate deep learning models, establish rigorous experimental baselines, and translate successful research into production capabilities for the ChipAgents platform. Collaborate with ML researchers, software engineers, hardware experts, and product teams while writing maintainable Python code. Experience with EDA flows, structured data, LLMs, or large-scale training is advantageous.

Sell ChipAgents’ agentic-AI chip design and verification platform to semiconductor and hardware startups. Responsibilities include building pipeline through outreach and referrals, selling to founders and technical leaders, supporting technical evaluations, closing deals, expanding accounts, maintaining CRM and forecasts, and meeting sales targets. The role requires technical fluency in chip design, strong B2B sales performance, and up to 50% travel.

Leads ChipAgents’ Japan business, owning revenue growth across direct and partner channels. Responsibilities include closing complex enterprise sales with semiconductor and electronics companies, managing channel partners, shaping market coverage, guiding local application engineers, representing the company at industry events, and feeding customer insights into product development. Requires deep Japanese enterprise sales experience, semiconductor or EDA expertise, strong industry relationships, technical fluency, and native Japanese with business-fluent English.

Own the full recruiting lifecycle across software, hardware, research, sales, engineering, and operations roles. Source and engage candidates, partner with hiring managers, coordinate interviews, manage offers, and deliver a strong candidate experience. Improve recruiting processes, applicant tracking systems, interview workflows, documentation, and requisition management while supporting high-volume hiring in a fast-growing startup.

Lead timing-closure strategy for multi-billion-instance and 3D IC designs. Partner with R&D to define product architecture, run backend and timing flows with customers, provide STA expertise, and translate customer feedback into product priorities. Requires deep experience with advanced-node timing closure, commercial synthesis and timing tools, Liberty formats, device characterization, chiplet and TSV timing, and advanced semiconductor physics. Preferred experience includes place-and-route flows, AI coding agents, and scripting.

Build software and customer-specific solutions for chip design and verification workflows. Embed with semiconductor customer teams, define problems, connect platform capabilities to RTL, testbenches, simulators, and verification environments, and ship working solutions. Collaborate with R&D and domain experts while owning customer relationships. Requires hands-on chip design or verification experience, software development skills, AI-agent familiarity, strong communication, and frequent customer-site travel.

Own internal IT operations, including business applications, user access, employee devices, onboarding and offboarding, IT support, office networking, and meeting-room technology. Improve security, reliability, documentation, self-service, and automation while partnering with engineering on infrastructure initiatives. Serve as the primary point of contact for employee technology issues and manage vendors, licenses, equipment lifecycles, and operational processes.

Design, build, and maintain backend services, platform infrastructure, and cloud deployments. Debug distributed production systems, architect IaC and networking, provision on-prem hardware, support customer deployments and integrations, and collaborate with research, product, and customer success to deliver reliable, scalable production software.

Conduct research on AI-assisted EDA, train and deploy large language models at scale, design and benchmark agentic AI systems, translate research into production features, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and publish research where appropriate.

Own and expand relationships with strategic semiconductor customers (> $1M ARR). Drive full enterprise sales cycles, create multi-year account plans, lead exec-level engagements, coordinate cross-functional deal teams, deliver accurate forecasting, and meet aggressive revenue targets.

Lead the frontend verification product line (RCA and Coverage) end-to-end: validate customer problems, define roadmap, drive R&D and go-to-market, support sales and evaluations, and prioritize backlog to convert evaluations into revenue while partnering with engineering and sales.

Own technical success for strategic semiconductor accounts by acting as primary technical contact, driving adoption, triaging issues with R&D, running technical and management reviews, and feeding customer insights into product and roadmap decisions. Collaborate with account managers, applications engineering, and research teams to expand usage and ensure customers achieve value from ChipAgents' AI-enabled EDA platform.
