Description For Digital Design Engineer

Efficient Computer is at the forefront of developing revolutionary energy-efficient processor technology, creating solutions that use 100x less energy than current ultra-low-power processors. This breakthrough enables continuous AI/ML operations on a single AA battery for 5-10 years, marking a significant advancement in pervasive intelligence and IoT capabilities.

As a Digital Design Engineer, you'll join a dynamic team working on the world's most energy-efficient general-purpose processor. The role combines hardware design expertise with power optimization, focusing specifically on reducing power draw from the "front end" of designs. You'll be responsible for implementing and verifying features from specification through synthesis, working with RTL-level implementations, and collaborating across teams including physical design, verification, and software.

The position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of high-performance computing in a high-trust, high-output environment where impact matters more than hierarchy. You'll work with cutting-edge tools and technologies, including industry-standard EDA tools from companies like Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor/Siemens.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $160,000 to $210,000, plus meaningful equity and comprehensive benefits. The company culture emphasizes personal and professional growth, offering flexibility and strong support for career development. This role is perfect for someone who combines technical expertise in digital design with a passion for energy efficiency and innovation in computer architecture.
