Member of Technical Staff - Silicon EDA

Generation Alpha Transistor is an early stage startup bringing AI to chip design. Founded in 2024 by a team of world-class experts in semiconductors, ML and AI, and well-funded by Silicon Valley’s best VCs. We’re in a silicon renaissance, fueled by demand for AI and the end of Moore’s Law. NVDA going to infinity is barely the start of the first inning. There’s only one problem: designing all those new chips. At nanometer scales this has grown exponentially more complex, costly, and laborious. GenAlpha brings the power of AI to automate their most painful bottlenecks. As an MTS you'll work in a dynamic, high-growth, collaboration-heavy environment, directly with our founders and customers, including some of the world’s biggest & highest-impact semiconductor designers & fabs. Expect to work on any & all of: Develop novel tactics for silicon electronic design automation (EDA) Focus on physical design of analog, RF, and custom circuits, e.g. memory, standard cells Optimizing placement, routing, extraction, simulation, physical verification (LVS, DRC) Knowledge of silicon design flow & typical chip data (LEF, DEF, GDS, Spice, etc) Requires proficiency with one or more of C++, Rust Bonus points for full-stack web development experience, LLM-centric AI, and high-performance front-end/ GUI design. Reach out here or on LinkedIn or to careers @gen-alpha.io. #Culture We're a small, all-technical team, all working at the forefront of turning AI intro next-gen silicon. We're in-office, in-person by design, optimized for collaboration. We value software generalists & polyglots who are unafraid to try & learn new & valuable tools, wherever they can be found. Past experience in cloud-native B2B and customer-facing engineering roles is a plus. Desire to grow into engineering leadership is a plus. Desire to work in a rapidly changing, early stage startup environment is a must. Everyone on the Gen Alpha team gets the same title: Member of Technical Staff. Compensation varies with experience and fit, with competitive salaries and meaningful equity for all team members. We provide the best medical, dental, and vision coverage we can get, for both you and family. We sponsor work visas and permanent residency applications for qualified international candidates.
