Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. \nOur vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine architecture/microarchitecture specifications. Take ownership of one or more chip modules and implement them in RTL.\n\nConverge functionality and PPA of the design.\n\nImplement your designs in RTL (System Verilog or other HDLs) and iterate the design for optimal power, timing, and area.\n\nCreate simple test benches and debug complex logic simulations.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.\n\n2+ years of industry experience in chip design, specializing in RTL design (architecture and implementation), logic synthesis, verification, and timing closure\n\nExperience in microprocessor simulator implementation in depth with C++ or other high-level languages\n\nExperience in modeling PPA of the design\n\nExperience in scripting languages to automate simulation and analysis\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nPh.D in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent practical experience is a plus\n\nExperience in accelerator design is a plus\n\nExperience with highly pipelined designs, and with multiple-clock-domain designs.\n\nKnowledge of machine learning algorithms, compiler, processor design, accelerators, and/or memory hierarchies.\n\nExperience with Chisel or RISC-V is a plus\n\nWhy Join FuriosaAI\nThe defining bottleneck of the AI era is building the right hardware and software stack to run it at global scale. Furiosa is solving this challenge holistically from the ground up.\nWith our flagship chip, RNGD, in mass production today and our next-generation platform in development with Broadcom, we are proving that full-stack, tensor-native compute is the future of AI infrastructure. This is a pivotal moment to join our team, right as we accelerate our global expansion.\nAt Furiosa, you will:\nSolve AI’s Most Urgent Challenge. Help build the high-performance, energy-efficient inference hardware and software required to fulfill the promise of advanced AI.\nPioneer Full-Stack Co-Design. Work with teams that are architecting solutions from silicon up through the compiler (featuring innovations like Tensor Contraction Language and Virtual ISA) and serving frameworks.\nShip Real-World Silicon, Software, and Solutions. Turn breakthrough technology into commercial deployment. RNGD is in mass production with TSMC and running live enterprise workloads for global leaders like LG AI Research and Samsung SDS.\nPartner With the Industry's Best. Collaborate across an elite global ecosystem that includes TSMC, Broadcom, SK Hynix, and GUC.\nDo Your Life’s Best Work. Join a brilliant, low-ego, mission-driven team in a high-trust environment that values autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and shared ambition. \nContact\n ","description_format":"text","description_chars":3386,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-08T07:24:39Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-22T12:23:03Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T17:42:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24159,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":31683},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=31683"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/furiosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-ai-chip-architect-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":533955}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"furiosa.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":533955},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
