Jobs at Efficient Computer

Develop firmware and applications for energy-efficient processors across simulation, RTL emulation, and silicon. Maintain low-level SDKs, port RTOSes, validate and verify silicon, develop bring-up hardware and customer evaluation kits, perform board and first-silicon bring-up, debug hardware issues with design teams, and support customers with board development.

Drive functional verification of complex ASIC, SoC, and IP designs from specification through tapeout. Build UVM and constrained-random testbenches, achieve functional and code coverage closure, debug simulation failures, and develop Python-based automation and regression flows. Collaborate with software and technical leadership to communicate verification risks and status. Preferred experience includes formal verification, AI-assisted verification, pre-silicon software testing, post-silicon validation, SoC architecture, and power-aware verification.

The Senior Product Manager - Software defines the roadmap for Efficient Computer's developer platform, focusing on SDKs, compilers, and ensuring robust developer experiences while driving strategy and metrics for product success.

Serve as the technical bridge between customers and engineering teams during silicon IP evaluation and SoC integration. Responsibilities include verification environment setup, RTL and integration debugging, synthesis, physical implementation, timing closure, signoff, training, pre-sales evaluations, customer reviews, release validation, and creating reusable enablement resources. The role requires broad ASIC/SoC expertise, scripting, IP integration experience, and customer-facing communication, with approximately 20–30% travel.

Lead test engineering across chip programs including DFT strategy, ATPG and STIL pattern generation, ATE test program development (Advantest/Teradyne), first-silicon bringup, wafer probe and final test coordination with OSATs, yield analysis, load board bring-up, and building scalable test infrastructure for production.

The Lead STA Engineer will develop timing flows and methodologies for advanced processor technologies, ensuring timing convergence and contributing to the design and production process.

Design and implement compiler features and toolchains to compile ML models to a custom energy-efficient processor. Improve performance, debug compiler issues, write tests, work with ML frameworks, and collaborate with hardware and application teams to optimize compilation, placement, and runtime for TinyML applications.

Work with customers to design, implement, and optimize board-level and embedded solutions using Efficient's low-power architecture. Develop firmware and software across the embedded stack, build reference designs and demos, support customers through development to deployment, and provide field feedback to internal teams. Travel to customer sites and events as needed to enable integrations and ensure successful product adoption.
