Senior Hardware Design Engineer

Job summary

Responsibilities

SambaNova Senior Hardware Design Engineers design component units of the Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) ASICs deployed in our AI workload acceleration systems. You will work alongside principal engineers, architects, design verification engineers, and physical design engineers to implement…

• Work with principal engineers and architects to author sections of the microarchitecture specification for compute, memory, or networking subsystems.
• Code, integrate, and debug SystemVerilog RTL for assigned blocks through the chip implementation and production lifecycle.
• Meet Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) targets for your blocks using advanced digital design techniques for high-speed design.
• Partner with design verification and physical design engineers to converge on functionality, timing, and area.
• Implement SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and run lint, CDC, and LEC flows to check design intent and keep blocks clean.

What they're looking for

• Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering with 3–5 years of relevant experience, or Bachelor's degree with 5–7 years.
• Solid foundation in computer architecture and digital logic design.
• Strong SystemVerilog RTL design skills for high-speed, high-performance ASICs.
• Experience making design decisions that trade off Power, Performance, and Area (PPA).
• Working knowledge of industry-standard interconnects and protocols (e.g., AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, HBM/DDR).

Tech stack

• Python
