Founding ML Engineer

Silimate is revolutionizing the chip design industry by creating an AI-powered co-pilot for chip designers. The company is tackling a significant challenge in the semiconductor industry where chip teams are still using 30-year-old workflows, resulting in lengthy 12-18 month design cycles.

As a Founding ML Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how chips are built, working directly with world-class customers in the chip and IP design space. You'll leverage your AI/ML and LLM expertise to develop key co-pilot features that make chip design faster, easier, and more intuitive.

The role involves developing AI models and infrastructure that ship to 10+ chip/IP customers, making architectural decisions for key product features, translating user feedback into product updates, and planning core product roadmap with the founders. You'll be working in-person in the Bay Area, shipping product updates weekly.

The ideal candidate should be highly skilled in Python, C++, and PyTorch, with strong understanding of ML models, LLMs, and agents. Experience with AWS SageMaker and AI/ML-driven chip EDA software tooling is valuable. The company offers competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.

Silimate is well-funded by top investors and is experiencing rapid growth, with demand outpacing their current capacity. This is an opportunity to join a promising startup that's building a catalytic tool for the semiconductor industry.
