AI/ML Founding Engineer

We're revolutionizing semiconductor design with AI. Every smartphone, car, and AI system depends on chips that currently take years and hundreds of millions to design. Our AI-powered platform automates complex design tasks, dramatically reducing time-to-market and development costs in the $600B+ semiconductor industry.

Currently bootstrapped and in pre-seed discussions, we're building the future of chip design.
